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 22% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $53,670 to $65,324 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$3,969). 30 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Child poverty fell 5.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 39.8% to 34.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.5pp). 9 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 3 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Cost burden changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (36.4% then, 39.2% now; margin ±3.0pp). 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.*

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 3 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (2.8% then, 3.7% now; margin ±1.3pp). 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.*

College attainment rose 4.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 29.8% to 34.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.5pp). 20 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.

Preschool enrollment rose 14.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 36.8% to 51.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±8.8pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 3 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.

Population rose about 13% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 94,701 to 107,423 - more than the combined survey margin (±69).

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.
Single-parent changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (16.7% then, 13.4% now; margin ±3.6pp). 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.*
