Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.

Uninsured fell 4.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 11.1% to 6.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.3pp).

Broader trend
30% of similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction; 3% moved the other way. Horizon West started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.
