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 19% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $65,332 to $78,050 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,454). 29 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; worth investigating.

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.
Child poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (11.8% then, 13.9% now; margin ±2.2pp). 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.*

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 2.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 88.7% to 91.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.2pp). 28 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; worth investigating.

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 (0.46 then, 0.47 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 1.0 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 8.3% to 9.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.9pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys. 4 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 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (47.0% then, 46.0% now; margin ±1.2pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 4 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
