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 30% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $41,674 to $54,382 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,166). 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.

Moving against the better direction for this metric.
Unemployment is 0.8 percentage points higher than in 2022 (5.6% then, 6.4% now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 5.1% in 2023 it has risen each year since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.

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 10.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 78.6% to 89.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). 28 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 smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.43 then, 0.43 now; margin ±0.02).

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 (35.8% then, 34.1% now; margin ±2.7pp).

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 7.2% to 6.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.9pp). 11 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 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, 2.1% now; margin ±1.0pp). 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
College attainment rose 4.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 26.2% to 30.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.9pp). 19 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population fell about 4% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 117,159 to 113,023 - more than the combined survey margin (±130). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 10 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
