▼ Lower is better Worsening
Compared against How peers are chosen →

Cost burden rose 2.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 21.6% to 23.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 7 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Worsening beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 10 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
