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 33% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $60,711 to $81,007 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$3,101). 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.

Broadband rose 4.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 87.2% to 91.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.1pp). 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.

Beyond the survey margin, but small next to the spread across these peers.
Homeownership rose 4.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 44.0% to 48.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 10 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 AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
College attainment rose 3.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 30.1% to 34.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp). 18 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.

Disconnected youth fell 5.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 9.2% to 4.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.7pp). 2 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
