Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.

Poverty rose 2.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 5.5% to 7.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. None of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (9.5% then, 10.8% now; margin ±2.2pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 4 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

Within the survey margin, 2014-2018 vs 2019-2023 surveys; 11 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: snap held roughly steady from 2013 to 2023.

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.

Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.
