Compared against How peers are chosen →

Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (4.5% then, 3.0% now; margin ±2.3pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 5 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; 10 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: child uninsured fell 0.5 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (3.5% to 3.0%).

Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins.
