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 (0.52 then, 0.52 now; margin ±0.01).

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 2.1 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 22.5% to 20.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Uninsured rose 1.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 13.7% to 14.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.6pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.
