How to read this
- Prices, not inflation rates. The chart shows the actual sticker price you'd encounter, not a year-over-year percentage. We compute the percent change against January 2019 as a stable pre-COVID anchor.
- Granularity matters. BLS publishes this series at U.S. and four-region level. State views apply regional cost-of-living parities — they are estimates, not direct measurements.
- Updated: roughly monthly, with a 1–2 month lag at the most recent end of the series.
