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 (58.0% then, 60.1% now; margin ±2.9pp). 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 7.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 32.0% to 39.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.9pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 3 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (2.5% then, 1.7% now; margin ±1.7pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

Preschool enrollment changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (66.5% then, 52.6% now; margin ±14.2pp).

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.
Disconnected youth rose 10.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.0% to 13.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±6.6pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.
