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 38% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $42,942 to $59,235 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,463). 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 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.
Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (22.1% then, 22.7% now; margin ±3.2pp). 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 12.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 73.2% to 85.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.5pp). 29 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.
Cost burden changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (34.2% then, 33.4% now; margin ±3.7pp). 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.*

College attainment changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (27.5% then, 29.1% now; margin ±2.7pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Preschool enrollment fell 15.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 50.7% to 35.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±13.3pp). 1 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population rose about 5% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 77,283 to 81,143 - more than the combined survey margin (±63). 18 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. 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.*
