Multi-year view: violent crime fell about 14% a year from 2021 to 2026, faster than 100% of similar-size cities. The change does not yet pass the noise and consistency checks, so treat it as a raw signal.
Longer view: violent crime fell about 1% a year from 2018 to 2026.
Most recent monthly reading: 31 in May 2026, up from 31 a year earlier.

Median household income

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

Household income rose about 36% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $41,604 to $56,631 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$1,973). 28 of the 28 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.

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: green tracts improved, red tracts moved the wrong way. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.

Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (22.9% then, 21.8% now; margin ±1.1pp). 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.*

Children without health insurance

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

Child uninsured rose 1.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.4% to 5.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 7 of the 28 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; 8 of 28 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: child uninsured rose 0.1 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (5.2% to 5.4%).
