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.
Uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (6.9% then, 7.2% now; margin ±0.7pp). 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.*

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (7.4% then, 6.5% now; margin ±2.7pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 4 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 fell about 1% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 215,636 to 212,421 - more than the combined survey margin (±229). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys.
