The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.43 then, 0.45 now; margin ±0.02).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
SNAP rose 4.1 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 15.2% to 19.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 4.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 40.5% to 44.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.4pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Preschool enrollment fell 11.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 41.3% to 29.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±10.6pp). 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.
Population changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (95,097 then, 97,190 now; margin ±0). 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.*
