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 37% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $60,759 to $83,512 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$3,505). 30 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.

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.
Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (12.4% then, 12.6% now; margin ±1.9pp). 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.
Broadband rose 7.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 85.7% to 92.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.5pp). 28 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.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
No vehicle fell 2.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 10.1% to 8.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.4pp). 3 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.
College attainment rose 5.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 23.3% to 28.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp). 19 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Preschool enrollment fell 14.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 41.7% to 26.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±11.7pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 5 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.
