Compared against How peers are chosen →

Household income rose about 23% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $48,312 to $59,190 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,530). 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.

Longer view: household income rose about 30% from 2014 to 2024 ($45,390 to $59,190).
