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 32% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $59,907 to $78,779 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$5,544). 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 AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 13.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 70.6% to 83.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.7pp). 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.

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.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.48 then, 0.49 now; margin ±0.02). 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (17.0% then, 19.8% now; margin ±2.9pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Cost burden changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (52.2% then, 47.4% now; margin ±4.8pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
No vehicle rose 5.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 27.6% to 33.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.7pp). 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 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (6.2% then, 7.1% now; margin ±1.3pp). The newest releases lean upward: 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 6.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 29.2% to 35.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.7pp). 15 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.
Preschool enrollment fell 28.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 59.1% to 31.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±13.7pp). 6 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.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (8.2% then, 8.8% now; margin ±6.8pp).

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population rose about 7% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 67,896 to 72,427 - more than the combined survey margin (±111). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 20 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
