Child poverty fell 11.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 20.3% to 9.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.8pp).

Broader trend
23% of similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction; 13% moved the other way. Coeur d'Alene started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.
