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 16% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $48,415 to $56,118 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$3,987). 30 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.

Unemployment rose less than 0.1 percentage points a year from 2022 to 2025. That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 3 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (22.7% then, 23.4% now; margin ±2.2pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

Child poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (16.9% then, 15.7% now; margin ±4.3pp).

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 7.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 84.3% to 91.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.5pp). 28 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.
No vehicle rose 3.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 13.1% to 16.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.8pp). 2 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.
