Household income rose about 26% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $47,650 to $59,838 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$1,126). 21 of the 21 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.
Cost burden changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (32.7% then, 33.2% now; margin ±1.0pp). 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.*
