The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 3 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Child poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (4.8% then, 6.4% now; margin ±2.4pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Homeownership fell 3.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 41.6% to 38.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.2pp). That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
College attainment rose 5.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 69.5% to 75.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.1pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Preschool enrollment fell 14.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 76.1% to 61.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±13.1pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (11.0% then, 2.7% now; margin ±8.8pp).
