Cost burden rose 3.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 31.7% to 35.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.6pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.

What changed

Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (5.4% then, 3.3% now; margin ±2.1pp). 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.*

Broader trend
33% of similar-size cities show a real change in either 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.
