What changed

Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.39 then, 0.41 now; margin ±0.03). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 5 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

Broader trend
23% of similar-size cities show a real change in either direction.

Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.
