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.
College attainment changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (22.3% then, 23.5% now; margin ±1.6pp). 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.*

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population rose less than 1% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 147,070 to 147,521 - more than the combined survey margin (±350). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 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.*
