Methodology
The Consumer Price Index is published monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. We read the series from FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis), store every observation in our own database and refresh it on a schedule, so the page always renders the latest published value with the date it was published.
Year-over-year figures compare the latest observation with the observation closest to the same date one year earlier. Percentage-point changes are used for rates, percentage changes for levels.
Published data is revised by its source agencies. Figures here reflect the most recent release we have ingested and are for information only, not personalised advice.
