The last 12 months moved in the better direction. The multi-year trend has not (yet) passed the checks below, so no sustained-improvement claim is made. It is also improving faster than most of the selected peers.
Violent crime fell about 19% over the 12 months ending March 2026, faster than 88% 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 21% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $50,453 to $60,895 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,409). 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 is within the margin, but each of the last 6 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (19.2% then, 18.1% now; margin ±1.5pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 6 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

Broadband rose 8.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 80.1% to 88.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp). 28 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.
Cost burden rose 2.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 36.1% to 38.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). 8 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Child uninsured rose 2.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 8.4% to 10.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.8pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 2 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.
