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 38% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $53,365 to $73,836 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,935). 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 7.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 84.5% to 91.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.0pp). 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
College attainment rose 7.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 21.8% to 29.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.4pp). 15 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 3 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Preschool enrollment changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (49.8% then, 56.4% now; margin ±18.6pp). 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.*

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.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (6.1% then, 2.6% now; margin ±5.1pp).

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population rose about 19% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 48,630 to 57,890 - more than the combined survey margin (±99). 16 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
