Multi-year view: violent crime fell about 7% a year from 2021 to 2026, faster than 81% of similar-size cities. The change does not yet pass the noise and consistency checks, so treat it as a raw signal.
Longer view: violent crime fell about 5% a year from 2018 to 2026.

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.

Preschool enrollment rose 14.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 40.1% to 54.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±8.7pp). 5 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.

▸ Where is this changing? 33 census tracts
Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.
