Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (4.6% then, 5.7% now; margin ±1.3pp). 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.*

Within the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 3 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.

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.

Cost burden rose 5.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 21.5% to 26.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.8pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 4 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
