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 20% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $110,934 to $133,369 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$6,406). 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Homeownership fell 4.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 76.5% to 71.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.6pp). 1 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 clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 5.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 25.8% to 31.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.8pp). 6 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.
College attainment changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (53.2% then, 56.0% now; margin ±3.8pp). 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.*

Population rose about 14% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 54,352 to 61,783 - more than the combined survey margin (±133). 20 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
