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 28% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $93,953 to $120,694 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,934). 29 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 AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 4.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 91.5% to 95.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.5pp). 26 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.

SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (3.9% then, 3.8% now; margin ±0.9pp).

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 (23.5% then, 21.4% now; margin ±2.4pp). 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 4.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 57.4% to 61.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.9pp). 18 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.
