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 37% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $58,790 to $80,760 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,711). 29 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 5.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 83.8% to 89.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.1pp). 28 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 clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Uninsured rose 0.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 9.7% to 10.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.7pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 3 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 is within the margin, but each of the last 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (8.1% then, 6.8% now; margin ±1.4pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 4 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 3.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 33.5% to 36.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.4pp). 27 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.
