The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Household income rose about 54% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $55,569 to $85,747 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$6,136). 30 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.

Broadband rose 3.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 89.1% to 92.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.4pp). 29 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Uninsured fell 2.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 8.4% to 6.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.7pp). 6 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Child uninsured fell 5.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 8.9% to 3.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.4pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 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.
