The last 12 months moved in the better direction. The multi-year trend has not (yet) passed the checks below, so no sustained-improvement claim is made. It is also improving faster than most of the selected peers.
Violent crime fell about 27% over the 12 months ending May 2026, faster than 96% of similar-size cities.

This badge answers one question: can this city's own trend be trusted as a real improvement? It passed all three checks, so yes. The most recent 12 months agree with the multi-year trend.
Vehicle theft fell about 44% over the 12 months ending May 2026, faster than 78% of similar-size cities.

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 23% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $124,842 to $153,504 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$8,528). 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 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.
Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (7.5% then, 8.2% 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 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.
Child poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (8.3% then, 9.0% now; margin ±2.7pp). 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.
Broadband rose 3.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 91.9% to 95.7% - 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 clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Inequality rose about 5% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 0.46 to 0.48 - more than the combined survey margin (±0.02). 1 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.
SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (3.3% then, 3.8% now; margin ±1.0pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Homeownership fell 4.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 54.4% to 49.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp). 2 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, in the wrong direction for this metric. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Child uninsured rose 1.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 1.1% to 2.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 9 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 3.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 54.2% to 57.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.6pp). 22 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.
