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 17% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $83,096 to $97,514 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,352). 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 3.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 91.7% to 95.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.4pp). 26 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.
Inequality rose about 8% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 0.39 to 0.42 - more than the combined survey margin (±0.02). 5 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Child uninsured fell 2.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.9% to 1.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.5pp). 5 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.
Preschool enrollment fell 12.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 64.0% to 51.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±9.9pp). 10 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.
