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 23% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $50,379 to $62,177 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$1,604). 22 of the 22 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 10.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 74.9% to 85.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.9pp). 22 of the 22 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 smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.51 then, 0.51 now; margin ±0.01).

Beyond the survey margin, but small next to the spread across these peers.
SNAP fell 0.9 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 24.5% to 23.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.8pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys. 12 of the 22 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 2.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 39.5% to 41.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 9 of the 22 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

No vehicle fell 2.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 28.9% to 26.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). 11 of the 22 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 9 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Population changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (609,032 then, 573,243 now; margin ±0). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 9 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Single-parent fell 3.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 58.0% to 54.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.0pp). 3 of the 22 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Working parents changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (70.8% then, 74.6% now; margin ±5.9pp).
