The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Household income rose about 26% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $91,528 to $115,430 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$7,617). 30 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 AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 3.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 90.9% to 93.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.9pp). 26 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 (0.44 then, 0.43 now; margin ±0.02).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
SNAP rose 2.3 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 4.6% to 6.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). 8 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. 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 3.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 40.4% to 43.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.7pp). 15 of the 29 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.

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population fell about 3% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 60,767 to 59,247 - more than the combined survey margin (±80). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 9 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
