This badge answers one question: can this city's own trend be trusted as a real improvement? It is moving the right way, but at least one check failed, so not yet. It is also improving faster than most of the selected peers.
Homicide fell about 17% a year from 2021 to 2026, faster than 92% of similar-size cities. The change does not yet pass the noise and consistency checks, so treat it as a raw signal.

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 32% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $113,499 to $150,245 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$11,655). 29 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.
Poverty rose 1.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.9% to 5.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.1pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 1 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Child poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (2.6% then, 2.8% now; margin ±1.5pp).

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 3.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 93.3% to 96.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). 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 within the margin, but each of the last 6 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.43 then, 0.45 now; margin ±0.02). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 6 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.
SNAP rose 2.0 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 1.6% to 3.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.1pp). 6 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (51.9% then, 53.4% now; margin ±3.1pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
No vehicle changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (2.5% then, 3.4% now; margin ±1.0pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 4 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.
College attainment rose 6.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 60.8% to 67.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.2pp). 14 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 rose about 3% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 67,423 to 69,291 - more than the combined survey margin (±80). 23 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
