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 $57,452 to $72,725 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$7,761). 30 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.

Child poverty fell 4.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 20.1% to 15.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±4.8pp). 6 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.

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 9.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 85.1% to 94.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±5.3pp). 27 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 5.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 37.3% to 42.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±4.7pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 6 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.
College attainment rose 5.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 42.0% to 47.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.7pp). 19 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Working parents rose 17.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 56.8% to 74.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±13.3pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. None of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
