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 27% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $103,154 to $130,748 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,891). 30 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; 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.
Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (11.0% then, 11.0% now; margin ±1.4pp).

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 5.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 88.9% to 94.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). 28 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (2.0% then, 1.7% now; margin ±0.5pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 4 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
