Homicide fell slightly from 2021 to 2026. The change does not yet pass the noise and consistency checks, so treat it as a raw signal.

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 16% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $54,965 to $63,795 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,970). 28 of the 29 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 5 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 (0.44 then, 0.47 now; margin ±0.03). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 5 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.
SNAP fell 4.0 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 13.4% to 9.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.3pp). 6 of the 29 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 smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (58.8% then, 57.8% now; margin ±3.0pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 5.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 25.2% to 30.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.9pp). 2 of the 29 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 clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
No vehicle rose 2.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 5.1% to 7.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.9pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 2 of the 29 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Preschool enrollment rose 13.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 32.3% to 45.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±12.4pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 1 of the 29 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 smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (4.9% then, 6.7% now; margin ±5.6pp).

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population rose about 3% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 51,147 to 52,884 - more than the combined survey margin (±41). 15 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
