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.
Uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (25.3% then, 24.1% now; margin ±1.8pp). 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.*

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 2.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 30.3% to 32.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp).

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 (44.1% then, 48.4% now; margin ±11.7pp). 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.*
