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 9.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 79.3% to 88.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.4pp).

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 (0.52 then, 0.51 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 3.0 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 14.1% to 17.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp). That is movement in the wrong direction.

Beyond the survey margin, but small next to the spread across these peers.
Homeownership rose 2.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 53.5% to 55.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys.

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 5.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 34.5% to 39.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.5pp).

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 (37.1% then, 32.6% now; margin ±7.1pp). 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.*
