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 2.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 93.6% to 96.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.7pp).

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 (0.42 then, 0.42 now; margin ±0.02).

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.
Cost burden changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (19.3% then, 20.9% now; margin ±2.3pp). 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.*

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 60.8% to 64.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.6pp).

Preschool enrollment fell 13.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 63.8% to 50.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±7.3pp). 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. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (2.4% then, 2.6% now; margin ±3.0pp).

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.
Working parents changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (54.8% then, 58.3% now; margin ±6.8pp). 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.*
