The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 3.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 92.7% to 96.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.9pp). 28 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.41 then, 0.40 now; margin ±0.02).

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.
SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (6.0% then, 7.3% now; margin ±1.7pp). 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 AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Uninsured fell 1.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 5.9% to 4.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.9pp). 10 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Child uninsured rose 2.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 1.7% to 3.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.2pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 6 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.
