Cost burden rose 6.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 44.9% to 51.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.2pp). 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.

Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.
