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 35% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $50,476 to $68,310 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,883). 29 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 (15.5% then, 13.2% now; margin ±2.4pp).

Child poverty fell 7.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 24.4% to 17.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±4.4pp). 11 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 1.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 6.2% to 4.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). 9 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.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Child uninsured fell 1.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.2% to 1.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp). 5 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.
