Unemployment fell 0.1 percentage points over the 12 months ending July 2026, slower than 54% of similar-size cities.

Broader trend
Multi-year view: unemployment is 0.7 percentage points higher than in 2022 (3.9% then, 4.6% now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 3.4% in 2023 it has risen each year since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.
Longer view

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.

▸ Where is this changing? 14 census tracts
Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. 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.

Each tract's change uses the same two survey periods as the card above and is judged against the tract's own published margins; tracts marked * moved less than their margin.

Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.
