Homicide fell about 25% a year from 2021 to 2026, faster than 100% of similar-size cities. The change does not yet pass the noise and consistency checks, so treat it as a raw signal.

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 21% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $109,324 to $131,928 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$6,388). 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 2.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 94.5% to 96.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.4pp). 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 (0.39 then, 0.41 now; margin ±0.01).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
SNAP rose 0.9 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 1.7% to 2.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.6pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys. 11 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.
Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (82.2% then, 80.6% now; margin ±1.6pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 4.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 22.3% to 26.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.3pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 7 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.
No vehicle changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (2.2% then, 2.9% now; margin ±0.8pp). 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 5.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 57.3% to 62.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp). 19 of the 29 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 14.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 74.0% to 59.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±7.0pp). 7 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 (4.1% then, 2.2% now; margin ±2.7pp).

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population fell about 2% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 110,218 to 108,201 - more than the combined survey margin (±127). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 5 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
