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 14% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $47,779 to $54,433 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,293).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Poverty rose 2.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 18.5% to 21.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). 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.
Child poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (26.4% then, 28.7% now; margin ±3.4pp).

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.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.45 then, 0.44 now; margin ±0.03). 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.*

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
No vehicle changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (9.5% then, 9.9% now; margin ±1.5pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Uninsured fell 1.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 14.1% to 12.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.2pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Child uninsured rose 1.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 5.9% to 7.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.8pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.
