The last 12 months moved in the better direction. The multi-year trend has not (yet) passed the checks below, so no sustained-improvement claim is made. It is also improving faster than most of the selected peers.
Violent crime fell about 12% over the 12 months ending December 2025, faster than 73% of similar-size cities.

This badge answers one question: can this city's own trend be trusted as a real improvement? It is moving the right way, but at least one check failed, so not yet.
Homicide is about where it was in 2020 (0 then, 0 now), but the direction has turned: after peaking near 2 in 2021 it has fallen mostly since.

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 36% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $97,328 to $132,572 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$7,246). 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 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 (11.1% then, 9.5% 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.*

| South Jordan, UT | 5.4% | 4th | +3.7pp | 31st | 64% below peers |
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 6.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 88.2% to 94.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.5pp). 28 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 clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Inequality rose about 6% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 0.42 to 0.45 - more than the combined survey margin (±0.02). 1 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

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.*

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
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). 12 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. 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).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
College attainment rose 5.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 64.4% to 69.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.8pp). 23 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.
