There might be a small typo here. It reads:
"month change"
Should it not read:
"monthly change"
This should be the same for "year" - "yearly" etc.

No, because it refers to a specific month — namely the current one — and not to an average month, which your suggested phrasing would imply.
This phrasing is a shortened form of "the change that has occurred this month", or something to that effect.
Similarly, "year rank" is "the user's rank for this (or the specified) year".
