Median household income

▲ Higher is better Real improvement
Compared against How peers are chosen →

Household income rose about 36% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $48,691 to $66,381 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$3,191). 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.

Improving beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 30 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: household income rose about 53% from 2014 to 2024 ($43,306 to $66,381).

Cost burden rose 3.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 40.2% to 44.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.9pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 6 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.

Children without health insurance

▼ Lower is better Worsening
Compared against How peers are chosen →

Child uninsured rose 3.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 7.5% to 11.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.9pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 5 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Worsening beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 7 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: child uninsured fell 0.8 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (12.3% to 11.4%).
