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 48% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $77,921 to $115,475 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$7,764). 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 5.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 90.8% to 95.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.8pp). 27 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 (0.51 then, 0.49 now; margin ±0.02).

Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (47.0% then, 48.4% now; margin ±3.3pp). 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.
Cost burden fell 7.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 47.4% to 40.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±4.5pp). 1 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and 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. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Child uninsured fell 2.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.3% to 1.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). 3 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; 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.
College attainment rose 3.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 53.8% to 57.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.7pp). 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.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Preschool enrollment fell 25.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 63.7% to 38.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±15.0pp). 3 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. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.7% then, 1.0% now; margin ±1.6pp).

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population fell about 5% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 64,522 to 61,607 - more than the combined survey margin (±87). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 7 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
