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 5.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 22.8% to 28.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.2pp).
