Child uninsured rose 0.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 2.2% to 3.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.7pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 6 of the 21 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.
