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 31% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $50,962 to $66,562 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,627). 30 of the 30 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.
Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (19.7% then, 18.3% now; margin ±1.6pp).

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 4.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 19.5% to 15.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.8pp). 13 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.

SNAP fell 1.9 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 18.7% to 16.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). 6 of the 30 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.
Uninsured fell 1.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 6.7% to 5.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.7pp). 13 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; 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 3.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 41.8% to 45.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.8pp). 29 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; worth investigating.
