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 42% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $45,527 to $64,523 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,337). 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 (16.9% then, 18.5% now; margin ±1.7pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Child poverty rose 4.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 26.7% to 31.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.1pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. None of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

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 12.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 77.6% to 90.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.5pp). 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
SNAP fell 4.7 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 17.6% to 12.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.4pp). 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.
Cost burden fell 2.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 34.3% to 31.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.2pp). 2 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
No vehicle changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (9.5% then, 8.6% now; margin ±1.3pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Uninsured rose 1.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 10.2% to 12.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.9pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 4 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Child uninsured rose 3.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.7% to 7.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 8 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

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 5.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 30.0% to 36.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.7pp). 29 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 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.
Preschool enrollment changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (40.4% then, 31.8% now; margin ±8.8pp). 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.*
