The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Household income rose about 27% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $92,604 to $117,663 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$10,732). 30 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 7.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 88.9% to 96.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.4pp). 27 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.51 then, 0.49 now; margin ±0.02).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
SNAP rose 3.6 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 4.6% to 8.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.3pp). 2 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Preschool enrollment rose 18.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 66.2% to 84.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±12.5pp). 3 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (5.9% then, 13.2% now; margin ±9.9pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 4 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
