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 28% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $79,733 to $101,720 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$7,287). 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 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 (6.7% then, 6.5% now; margin ±1.9pp). 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.*

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.
Child poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (7.7% then, 6.1% now; margin ±3.4pp). 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.*

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 8.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 85.5% to 94.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.9pp). 29 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (1.8% then, 3.4% now; margin ±2.4pp).

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 4.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 43.7% to 48.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.6pp). 13 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Preschool enrollment fell 23.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 67.1% to 43.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±12.4pp). 4 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population rose about 2% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 54,604 to 55,472 - more than the combined survey margin (±156). 23 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
