Median household income

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

Household income rose about 23% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $41,723 to $51,165 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$3,264). 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.

Improving beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 29 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: household income rose about 36% from 2014 to 2024 ($37,691 to $51,165).

Unemployment rate

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

Unemployment is 0.4 percentage points higher than in 2022 (4.0% then, 4.4% now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 3.6% in 2023 it has risen each year since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.

Worsening slower than 65% of similar-size cities over 2022-2025.
Longer view: unemployment fell about 0.2 percentage points a year from 2015 to 2025.
Most recent monthly reading: 5.3% in May 2026, up from 3.9% a year earlier.
