Compared against How peers are chosen →
What changed

Unemployment fell 0.4 percentage points over the 12 months ending July 2026, faster than 78% of similar-size cities.

Broader trend
Multi-year view: unemployment is 1.2 percentage points higher than in 2022 (2.6% then, 3.8% now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 1.9% in 2023 it has risen each year since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.
Longer view
Unemployment fell less than 0.1 percentage points a year from 2015 to 2025.

What changed

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.*

Broader trend
23% of similar-size cities show a real change in either direction.

Child uninsured fell 0.5 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (3.5% to 3.0%).
