What changed

Inequality rose about 11% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 0.40 to 0.44 - more than the combined survey margin (±0.03). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Broader trend
13% of similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction; 13% moved the other way.

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.
