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 31% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $69,104 to $90,794 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$9,557). 28 of the 29 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (10.2% then, 9.0% now; margin ±2.5pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 6.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 29.6% to 36.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±4.6pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 3 of the 29 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.
No vehicle changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (5.5% then, 6.4% now; margin ±2.1pp).

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 2.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 1.8% to 4.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.3pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 4 of the 29 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. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Disconnected youth fell 6.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 9.7% to 2.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±6.0pp). None of the 29 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.

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population rose about 2% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 53,416 to 54,421 - more than the combined survey margin (±104). 19 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Single-parent changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (21.6% then, 24.2% now; margin ±7.8pp).
