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 2.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 90.3% to 92.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp).

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.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.41 then, 0.42 now; margin ±0.01). 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
No vehicle rose 0.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 4.1% to 5.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.7pp). That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 14 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Population changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (239,982 then, 252,583 now; margin ±0). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 14 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
