Compared against How peers are chosen →

Household income rose about 29% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $29,295 to $37,726 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,097). 30 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.

Compared against How peers are chosen →

Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.49 then, 0.47 now; margin ±0.02). 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.*

Within the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 3 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: inequality fell about 1% from 2014 to 2024 (0.48 to 0.47).

Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.
