- Data not available.
NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the
national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local
area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator
clauses.
NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.
