Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (73.2% then, 71.7% now; margin ±2.6pp). 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.*

Child uninsured fell 2.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.1% to 0.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.2pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 3 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.

Improving beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 9 of 29 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: child uninsured rose 0.2 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (0.7% to 0.8%).

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.

Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.

Children changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (23.2% then, 22.0% now; margin ±1.2pp). 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.*

Within the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 9 of 29 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: children fell 0.8 percentage points from 2017 to 2024 (22.8% to 22.0%).
