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 34% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $47,593 to $63,915 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,966). 29 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Child poverty fell 8.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 36.8% to 28.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). 12 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 smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (14.3% then, 14.1% now; margin ±1.7pp).

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 2.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 19.4% to 22.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). 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 clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Preschool enrollment fell 14.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 47.4% to 33.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±6.6pp). 7 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population fell about 1% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 259,151 to 257,619 - more than the combined survey margin (±57). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 4 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
