Median household income

▲ Higher is better Real improvement
Compared against How peers are chosen →

Household income rose about 16% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $54,975 to $64,020 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,808). 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.

Improving beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 30 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: household income rose about 29% from 2014 to 2024 ($49,771 to $64,020).

Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (5.2% then, 7.1% now; margin ±2.9pp). 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.*

Within the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 5 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: child uninsured rose 0.8 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (6.3% to 7.1%).

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.
