Violent crime fell about 19% over the 12 months ending May 2026, faster than 75% of similar-size cities.

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 $43,225 to $56,880 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$5,651). 30 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 12.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 76.3% to 88.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.7pp). 28 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 6 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, 0.45 now; margin ±0.03). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 6 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.
Uninsured fell 2.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 13.2% to 11.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.9pp). 14 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 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 (4.2% then, 5.5% now; margin ±3.3pp).

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 4.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 25.4% to 29.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.9pp). 18 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 AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Disconnected youth fell 9.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 18.5% to 8.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±9.0pp). 1 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.
