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 31% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $48,888 to $64,171 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$3,048). 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 13.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 71.7% to 84.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.9pp). 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (39.6% then, 39.4% now; margin ±2.0pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Uninsured fell 2.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 11.1% to 8.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). 10 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 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.
College attainment changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (43.1% then, 45.2% now; margin ±2.3pp). 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.*

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Disconnected youth fell 3.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 7.4% to 4.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.7pp). 3 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.

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 116,403 to 114,766 - more than the combined survey margin (±76). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 9 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Single-parent changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (14.1% then, 17.8% now; margin ±3.8pp).
