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 28% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $58,388 to $74,511 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,205). 30 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Inequality rose about 6% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 0.44 to 0.46 - more than the combined survey margin (±0.01). 4 of the 30 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 3 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (9.4% then, 9.8% now; margin ±1.1pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

Homeownership rose 5.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 45.2% to 50.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.8pp). 11 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 2.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 38.5% to 41.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.2pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 5 of the 30 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 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 (5.6% then, 6.6% now; margin ±1.0pp). The newest releases lean upward: 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 6.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 25.2% to 31.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). 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.
