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 24% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $44,324 to $54,945 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$3,041). 28 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 (0.44 then, 0.45 now; margin ±0.03).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
SNAP fell 3.3 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 19.3% to 16.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.3pp). 7 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.
College attainment rose 2.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 15.5% to 17.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). 19 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.
