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 32% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $30,907 to $40,801 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$1,172). 29 of the 29 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 3.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 48.2% to 44.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). 15 of the 29 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 (0.52 then, 0.51 now; margin ±0.01).

SNAP fell 3.1 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 34.6% to 31.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.1pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys. 11 of the 29 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Child uninsured rose 1.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.1% to 4.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.9pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 7 of the 29 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 4.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 17.5% to 22.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). 26 of the 28 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Preschool enrollment fell 8.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 42.3% to 33.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±6.0pp). 9 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.
