Disconnected youth fell 12.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 13.2% to 0.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±8.1pp).

Broader trend
None of the similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction; 13% moved the other way. St. Cloud started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.

▸ Where is this changing? 6 census tracts
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. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.
