Poverty fell 5.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 14.4% to 9.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.5pp). 4 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.

▸ Where is this changing? 13 census tracts
Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.

Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.
