The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 11 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Population changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (308,174 then, 288,512 now; margin ±0). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 11 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
