The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Homeownership fell 4.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 57.7% to 53.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.3pp). 2 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

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 (29.1% then, 31.7% now; margin ±3.8pp). 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.*

Population rose about 4% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 50,386 to 52,593 - more than the combined survey margin (±75). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 15 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
