Uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (9.7% then, 11.0% 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.*

Within the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 9 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
