Compared against How peers are chosen →

Broadband rose 14.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 76.1% to 90.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). 28 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.

Cost burden rose 2.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 30.5% to 33.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.6pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 6 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
