A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population fell about 2% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 54,891 to 53,569 - more than the combined survey margin (±616). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Single-parent changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (26.7% then, 22.6% now; margin ±7.6pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 4 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
