This badge answers one question: can this city's own trend be trusted as a real improvement? It passed all three checks, so yes. The most recent 12 months agree with the multi-year trend.
Violent crime fell about 12% over the 12 months ending May 2026, faster than 68% of similar-size cities.

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 29% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $53,604 to $69,303 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,085). 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 6.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 86.8% to 93.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp). 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.

Beyond the survey margin, but small next to the spread across these peers.
Homeownership rose 2.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 53.0% to 55.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 10 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Uninsured rose 1.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 7.7% to 9.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.9pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 3 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 2.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 27.6% to 29.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp). 29 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.
