Household income rose about 22% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $147,620 to $180,579 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$12,730). 30 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; 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 2.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 94.1% to 96.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.2pp). 27 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Uninsured rose 1.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 2.2% to 3.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 2 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 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.
Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.0% then, 0.9% now; margin ±1.1pp).

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. 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 (5.6% then, 0.3% now; margin ±10.4pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 5 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

Population rose about 10% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 53,193 to 58,668 - more than the combined survey margin (±67). 17 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
