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 25% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $61,211 to $76,320 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,470). 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.

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 6.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 88.7% to 94.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.1pp). 29 of the 29 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.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.41 then, 0.40 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 3.6 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 12.5% to 8.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.2pp). 15 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.

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.
Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (62.5% then, 61.6% now; margin ±1.8pp). 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.*

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Uninsured rose 1.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 23.4% to 25.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.4pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 3 of the 29 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 2.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 22.9% to 25.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.4pp). 27 of the 29 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 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 (33.6% then, 31.5% now; margin ±7.1pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 4 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Disconnected youth rose 3.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 7.0% to 10.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.1pp). 2 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.
