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 28% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $67,984 to $86,921 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$5,217). 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 5.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 88.2% to 94.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp). 27 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.44 then, 0.44 now; margin ±0.02).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
SNAP rose 2.0 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 8.7% to 10.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.7pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys. 11 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 3 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (67.7% then, 65.2% now; margin ±2.8pp). 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.*

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 3.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 27.7% to 31.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.2pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 7 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
College attainment rose 3.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 37.5% to 40.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.8pp). 19 of the 29 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.

Preschool enrollment changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (49.2% then, 51.3% now; margin ±13.3pp).

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. 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 (7.1% then, 6.4% now; margin ±4.3pp). 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.*

Population rose about 18% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 91,980 to 108,719 - more than the combined survey margin (±81). 20 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
