Because this metric moves monthly, each listed city also held or improved over its own most recent 12 months (shown on each row), and the list is ordered by that recent movement.

Share of people below the poverty level

Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (5.9% then, 7.6% now; margin ±1.7pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

Within the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 8 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.

SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (8.5% then, 9.3% now; margin ±1.8pp). 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; 12 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.

Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.5% then, 1.0% now; margin ±1.1pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

Within the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 10 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: child uninsured held roughly steady from 2014 to 2024.
