Consumer Price Index, Midwest Region — June 2025

Regional prices rose 0.7 percent in June, up 3.0 percent over the year

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in the Midwest region advanced 0.7 percent in June, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The all items less food and energy index increased 0.6 percent. The index for energy rose 3.2 percent, while the food index advanced 0.6 percent over the month. (Data in this report are not seasonally adjusted. Accordingly, month-to-month changes may reflect seasonal influences.)

The Midwest region all items CPI-U increased 3.0 percent for the 12 months ending in June. The index for all items less food and energy was up 3.3 percent over the year, while the index for food advanced by 3.0 percent. Energy prices rose 0.1 percent.

Food

Food prices increased 0.6 percent for the month of June. The index for food at home (grocery store purchases) was up 0.7 percent, with rising prices in 4 of the 6 major grocery store food groups. The index for food away from home (restaurant, cafeteria, and vending purchases) advanced 0.3 percent for the same period. Within the food at home category, the indexes for other food at home (+1.5 percent) and nonalcoholic beverages and beverage materials (+3.5 percent) contributed most to the increase. Declines were led by the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs (-1.3 percent).

Food prices were up 3.0 percent over the year. The index for food at home advanced 2.7 percent, with all six major grocery store categories contributing to the rise. Prices for food away from home rose 3.7 percent. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs (+6.1 percent) led the increases in the food at home category.

Energy

The energy index advanced 3.2 percent over the month, largely due to higher prices for electricity (+6.8 percent). The indexes for natural gas service and gasoline both increased in June, up 3.0 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively.

From June 2024 to June 2025, energy prices rose 0.1 percent. The combined increase from the natural gas service index (+18.5 percent) and the electricity index (+7.5 percent), were almost entirely offset by a decrease in the index for gasoline (-9.7 percent).

All items less food and energy

The index for all items less food and energy was up 0.6 percent in June. Among index components, prices were higher for owners’ equivalent rent of residences (+0.4 percent), medical care services (+1.3 percent), and household furnishings and operations (+2.0 percent).

The index for all items less food and energy advanced 3.3 percent over the year. Components most contributing to the increase included owners’ equivalent rent of residences (+5.1 percent), rent of primary residence (+5.2 percent), and medical care services (+3.6 percent). In contrast, prices decreased for lodging away from home.

The Consumer Price Index for July 2025 is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at 7:30 a.m. (CT).


Technical Note

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 the Midwest region is published 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.

The Midwest region is comprised of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Refer to the national CPI news release technical note or the Handbook of Methods for more information.
