Household income rose about 32% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $92,046 to $121,119 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$6,215). 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 2.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 93.1% to 95.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). 29 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 (0.37 then, 0.38 now; margin ±0.02).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
SNAP rose 2.1 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 7.6% to 9.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.8pp). 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 within the margin, but each of the last 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (62.8% then, 65.0% now; margin ±2.8pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 4 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.
College attainment rose 6.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 22.0% to 28.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.3pp). 21 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.
