Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (55.1% then, 57.2% now; margin ±2.5pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 6 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

Within the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 8 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.

Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.
