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 30% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $45,024 to $58,407 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$1,858). 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.

Unemployment fell less than 0.1 percentage points a year from 2022 to 2025, faster than 100% of similar-size cities. The change does not yet pass the noise and consistency checks, so treat it as a raw signal.

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 6.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 84.7% to 91.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). 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 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 (0.45 then, 0.45 now; margin ±0.01).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
SNAP rose 2.2 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 17.0% to 19.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.1pp). 3 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Child uninsured rose 1.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.4% to 4.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 5 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 1.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 27.2% to 29.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp). 29 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Preschool enrollment fell 9.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 37.4% to 27.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±7.2pp). 12 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.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (9.1% then, 7.0% now; margin ±2.6pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 4 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
