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 26% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $93,627 to $117,799 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$10,256). 30 of the 30 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 clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Homeownership fell 4.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 74.5% to 69.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.9pp). 2 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 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.
Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (8.5% then, 8.4% now; margin ±3.3pp). 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.*

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 4.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 39.0% to 43.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±4.0pp). 15 of the 30 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.
