Why This Keeps Climbing
Steady, one-direction movement across 10 years like this usually reflects a real structural force rather than statistical noise — worth digging into, not dismissing.
Worth remembering this isn't a live feed — it's United States's periodically-updated official statistics, with the usual lag and modeling that comes with any indicator series like this.
Urban-only data like this rarely tells the whole national story on its own. Pull up the rural version alongside it — the gap between the two is often more informative than either number alone.
