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 (0.45 then, 0.46 now; margin ±0.02).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Homeownership fell 2.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 67.8% to 65.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). That is movement in the wrong direction.
