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 22% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $37,894 to $46,113 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,483). 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.

This badge answers one question: can this city's own trend be trusted as a real improvement? It is moving the right way, but at least one check failed, so not yet. It is also improving faster than most of the selected peers.
Unemployment fell about 0.2 percentage points a year from 2022 to 2025, faster than 100% of similar-size cities. The change does not yet pass the noise and consistency checks, so treat it as a raw signal.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 10.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 77.7% to 88.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). 27 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.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.46 then, 0.46 now; margin ±0.02).

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.
SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (29.3% then, 30.2% now; margin ±2.2pp). 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.*

Homeownership rose 3.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 50.9% to 54.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.5pp). 7 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (6.4% then, 5.7% now; margin ±0.8pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 4 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
