The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 10 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (11.5% then, 9.8% now; margin ±1.8pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 10 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Cost burden changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (35.0% then, 34.1% now; margin ±3.3pp).

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.
No vehicle changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (23.9% then, 21.6% now; margin ±2.5pp). 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.*

Uninsured fell 1.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.1% to 1.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.6pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (1.1% then, 2.5% now; margin ±2.0pp).
