Acting Regional Commissioner Julie Wilson noted that the index for all items less food and energy increased 0.7 percent over the two-month period. The energy index rose 3.0 percent from April to June and the index for food was up 0.4 percent. (Data in this report are not seasonally adjusted. Accordingly, bi-monthly changes may reflect seasonal influences.)
The Detroit-Warren-Dearborn area all items CPI-U advanced 1.3 percent for the 12 months ending in June. The index for all items less food and energy advanced 1.7 percent over the year. The food index rose 1.2 percent, and the index for energy was down 3.1 percent compared to June 2024.

Food prices rose 1.2 percent over the year. Prices for food at home advanced 0.3 percent. Grocery food categories increasing over the year included meats, poultry, fish, and eggs (+4.7 percent) and nonalcoholic beverages and beverage materials (+3.2 percent). The index for dairy and related products was down 4.5 percent over the year.

Components contributing to the increase included apparel (+14.1 percent) and household furnishings and operations (+4.3 percent). The shelter index declined 0.5 percent from June 2024 to June 2025. Within the shelter category, lower costs for lodging away from home more than offset a 3.1 percent increase in the index for owners’ equivalent rent of residences.
The August 2025 Consumer Price Index for the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn area is scheduled to be released on September 11, 2025.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The Consumer Price Index for Detroit is published bi-monthly. The set of components and sub-aggregates published for regional and metropolitan indexes is more limited than at the U.S. city average level; these indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a much smaller sample size than the national or regional indexes and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local-area indexes are more volatile than the national or regional indexes. In addition, local indexes are not adjusted for seasonal influences. NOTE: Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices between cities; they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period.
Percent changes for all-items data previously found in Table A of this release can be accessed in Chart 1 for this release and its attendant data table. A full all-items data series history for the original index value and for 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month percent changes can be accessed via BLS data query tools. A direct link to the all-items series is provided in Table 1 of this release under historical data.
The Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI, Core Based Statistical Area includes Lapeer, Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair, and Wayne Counties in Michigan.
