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 $65,260 to $83,837 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$3,740). 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 smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (10.2% then, 9.6% now; margin ±1.9pp).

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 (15.0% then, 13.0% now; margin ±3.7pp). 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.*

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 7.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 87.1% to 94.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp). 27 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 smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Cost burden changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (28.9% then, 30.9% now; margin ±3.0pp).

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 1.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 6.8% to 5.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp). 2 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 smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (1.8% then, 2.6% now; margin ±1.5pp).

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 3.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 38.1% to 41.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.3pp). 15 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.

Preschool enrollment changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (49.5% then, 50.7% now; margin ±12.4pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Disconnected youth rose 4.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 2.0% to 6.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.7pp). None of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Population fell about 2% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 72,412 to 71,233 - more than the combined survey margin (±87).
