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 48% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $47,426 to $70,392 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,437). 29 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.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Child poverty fell 7.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 15.9% to 8.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.7pp). 9 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 is within the margin, but each of the last 3 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.49 then, 0.47 now; margin ±0.02). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

SNAP fell 4.9 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 12.9% to 8.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp). 7 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.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 3 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
No vehicle changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (7.8% then, 6.7% now; margin ±1.8pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
College attainment rose 5.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 47.9% to 53.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.2pp). 15 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.
