## Metrics

| Metric | Start | Latest | Change | Annualised | Rank | Window |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |

Rank 1 is the better end of the cohort as the metric defines better, not always the largest rise.

## Current values

Every metric's most recent reading, ranked against peers by value rather than by change. Metrics published as a single snapshot — the MOD-IV assessment aggregates and HUD's CHAS tables — appear only here, because a change needs two observations.

## Margins of error

± is a survey figure's 90% margin of error, as the publisher reports it or as its inputs imply: a change's margin is in the change's own terms, and a share's in percentage points. A rank given as a range is where those margins let this region fall — the survey cannot place it more precisely. "no margin available" means the publisher reports none for that figure, which is still an estimate; "no sampling error" means the figure is fixed to another estimate rather than drawn from the sample. A survey figure's annualised change is not shown, because no margin is computed for it.

## Caveats

- ACS 5-year vintages overlap by four years, so consecutive estimates are not independent measurements and short windows understate the real separation.
- Census survey figures for a ZIP code are measured for its ZCTA, the area the Census builds from census blocks to approximate the ZIP's delivery routes; the two can differ. ZCTA figures begin with the 2016-2020 survey, the first drawn on 2020's ZCTAs, so none shows a five-year change yet.
- ZIP-level values are allocated from Census ZCTAs rather than measured. A ZIP straddling several municipalities is an estimate, not an observation. Allocation weights for this ZIP: hud_res_ratio.
