Values represent the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). Headline CPI is seasonally adjusted; component categories (auto, property, medical, energy) are not seasonally adjusted. Year-over-year comparisons align to the same month one year earlier; month-over-month compares to the prior month.
About this dashboard
- Data source: Bureau of Labor Statistics (CPI-U, seasonally adjusted) accessed live through the BLS Public Data API.

- Metrics: Switch between the price index level, year-over-year change, or month-over-month change to highlight different dynamics.
- Workflow tips: Use the “Select core exposures” shortcut for a quick P&C view, or enable every category, then export snapshots via your browser’s print-to-PDF functionality.
