What changed

Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (1.8% then, 2.3% now; margin ±0.8pp). 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.*
