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: green tracts improved, red tracts moved the wrong way. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.

Share of children below the poverty level

▼ Lower is better Worsening
Compared against How peers are chosen →

Child poverty rose 3.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 8.4% to 12.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.8pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 4 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Worsening beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 14 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: child poverty fell 1.4 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (13.4% to 12.0%).
