Compared against How peers are chosen →

SNAP fell 4.1 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 15.0% to 10.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). 4 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.
