This badge answers one question: can this city's own trend be trusted as a real improvement? It passed all three checks, so yes. The most recent 12 months agree with the multi-year trend.
Violent crime fell about 18% over the 12 months ending April 2026, faster than 78% 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 28% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $51,590 to $66,109 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,089). 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 5.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 83.6% to 89.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp). 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.

Beyond the survey margin, but small next to the spread across these peers.
Inequality fell about 4% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 0.49 to 0.47 - more than the combined survey margin (±0.02). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 6 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.

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.
SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (15.3% then, 16.3% now; margin ±1.2pp). 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.*

Uninsured fell 2.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 10.5% to 8.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.7pp). 13 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Preschool enrollment fell 8.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 51.0% to 42.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±6.3pp). 10 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 is within the margin, but each of the last 7 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 (244,601 then, 233,596 now; margin ±0). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 7 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
