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 31% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $33,944 to $44,471 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,825). 30 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.

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 11.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 76.7% to 87.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.6pp). 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.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Cost burden fell 4.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 36.8% to 31.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.2pp). 2 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.

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. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (4.0% then, 3.1% now; margin ±2.5pp). 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.*

Population fell about 6% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 68,750 to 64,751 - more than the combined survey margin (±533). 6 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
