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 26% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $48,964 to $61,515 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$1,753). 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.
Child poverty fell 3.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 26.7% to 23.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.4pp). 12 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.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.50 then, 0.49 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 1.8 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 15.5% to 17.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.1pp). 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (50.3% then, 50.5% now; margin ±1.5pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 2.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 34.8% to 36.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 8 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Uninsured fell 1.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 10.2% to 8.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.7pp). 12 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.
College attainment rose 2.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 38.2% to 41.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). 27 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.
