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 35% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $39,752 to $53,645 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$5,622). 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 15.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 69.3% to 84.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.6pp). 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.
Cost burden fell 5.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 33.8% to 28.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.9pp). None 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Uninsured rose 2.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 20.0% to 22.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.3pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 7 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 4.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 17.7% to 22.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.4pp). 15 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 3 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 (47.0% then, 38.0% now; margin ±12.2pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population rose about 11% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 65,129 to 72,087 - more than the combined survey margin (±74). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 18 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
