What changed

SNAP fell 3.6 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 19.3% to 15.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.9pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys.

Broader trend
45% of similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction; 30% moved the other way. Tampa started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.
