Violent crime fell about 20% over the 12 months ending April 2026, faster than 85% of similar-size cities.

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 35% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $42,222 to $56,851 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,658). 30 of the 30 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.

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 7.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 82.5% to 89.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.5pp). 29 of the 30 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.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Uninsured fell 1.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 8.8% to 7.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). 12 of the 30 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
College attainment rose 4.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 34.9% to 38.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.4pp). 19 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 clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Preschool enrollment fell 13.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 65.7% to 51.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±7.7pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up 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.

Population rose about 3% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 130,331 to 134,349 - more than the combined survey margin (±72).
