Consumer Price Index CPI in the United States increased to 320.80 points in April from 319.80 points in March of 2025. This dataset provides the latest reported value for - United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) - plus previous releases, historical high and low, short-term forecast and long-term prediction, economic calendar, survey consensus and news.

A global study among three key markets found that U.S. consumers were the most likely to have canceled an online news subscription in the last year, with almost a third saying they did so. However, the majority of consumers in all three countries in the study continued with the ir subscriptions. In the United Kingdom, as many as of half the surveyed subscribers in kept their news subscriptions as they were instead of canceling, despite the ongoing cost of living crisis gripping the country. News subs in the UK: at what cost? At a time when consumers are making cutbacks, how essential is a news subscription to the UK consumer? Survey data showed that more than two thirds of British adults between the ages of 18 and 65 years cut their spending on non-essentials and paid more attention to deals and bargains to alleviate the effects of the cost of living crisis. Meanwhile, the prices of news subscriptions in the UK are on the rise. At the higher end, an annual subscription to The Financial Times now sets UK consumers back almost 370 British pounds. National publications such as Mail+ and The Independent also hover around the 100 GBP mark, and several subscriptions became more expensive between 2022 and 2023, notably New Statesmen which almost doubled in price year over year. Value for money – why pay for news? News subscriptions could be considered a luxury in an era where news is widely available for free. So why do consumers subscribe in the first place? Data shows that most consumers cite better quality content as the main reason for paying for news, and brand identification is also a factor. Less important to consumers are games, puzzles, and an easy-to-use website or app – highlighting the increasing importance of quality content for publications seeking to keep audiences engaged.

Quality of life is a measure of comfort, health, and happiness by a person or a group of people. Quality of life is determined by both material factors, such as income and housing, and broader considerations like health, education, and freedom. Each year, US & World News releases its “Best States to Live in” report, which ranks states on the quality of life each state provides its residents. In order to determine rankings, U.S. News & World Report considers a wide range of factors, including healthcare, education, economy, infrastructure, opportunity, fiscal stability, crime and corrections, and the natural environment. More information on these categories and what is measured in each can be found below:

Healthcare includes access, quality, and affordability of healthcare, as well as health measurements, such as obesity rates and rates of smoking. Education measures how well public schools perform in terms of testing and graduation rates, as well as tuition costs associated with higher education and college debt load. Economy looks at GDP growth, migration to the state, and new business. Infrastructure includes transportation availability, road quality, communications, and internet access. Opportunity includes poverty rates, cost of living, housing costs and gender and racial equality. Fiscal Stability considers the health of the government's finances, including how well the state balances its budget. Crime and Corrections ranks a state’s public safety and measures prison systems and their populations. Natural Environment looks at the quality of air and water and exposure to pollution.

As of 2024, the most expensive national newspaper for UK consumers was FT Weekend (a supplement to the weekend edition of the Financial Times) at five British pounds and ten pence per copy. By contrast, The i and Daily Star both came out at under one pound each. The i cost just 20 pence back in 2014, meaning that the paper's cover price increased by more than fourfold over the last decade. A number of national papers cost over three GBP in 2024, including The Observer, The Sunday Times, and the Saturday edition of The Guardian. Circulation continues to fall Between 2022 and 2023, data on 14 large national newspapers in the UK showed a drop in paid circulation among every publication. Sunday People suffered a decline of almost 20 percent, and Daily Star, Daily Record, and Daily Mirror saw a decrease of 14 percent. With the price of newspapers on the up and the cost-of-living crisis ongoing, it seems unrealistic to expect British consumers to invest in newspapers, and circulation is unlikely to improve. But will consumers invest in online subscriptions? Digital news subscriptions are also costly A number of news subscriptions available to UK news consumers cost in excess of 200 British pounds per year, and most were around the 100 GBP mark. For the 38.9 percent of UK consumers spending between 51 and 100 GBP on online grocery each week, persuading them to invest a similar amount in just one news publication is challenging.

In 2023, the U.S. Consumer Price Index was 309.42, and is projected to increase to 352.27 by 2029. The base period was 1982-84. The monthly CPI for all urban consumers in the U.S. can be accessed here. After a time of high inflation, the U.S. inflation rateis projected fall to two percent by 2027. United States Consumer Price Index ForecastIt is projected that the CPI will continue to rise year over year, reaching 325.6 in 2027. The Consumer Price Index of all urban consumers in previous years was lower, and has risen every year since 1992, except in 2009, when the CPI went from 215.30 in 2008 to 214.54 in 2009. The monthly unadjusted Consumer Price Index was 296.17 for the month of August in 2022. The U.S. CPI measures changes in the price of consumer goods and services purchased by households and is thought to reflect inflation in the U.S. as well as the health of the economy. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates the CPI and defines it as, "a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services." The BLS records the price of thousands of goods and services month by month. They consider goods and services within eight main categories: food and beverage, housing, apparel, transportation, medical care, recreation, education, and other goods and services. They aggregate the data collected in order to compare how much it would cost a consumer to buy the same market basket of goods and services within one month or one year compared with the previous month or year. Given that the CPI is used to calculate U.S. inflation, the CPI influences the annual adjustments of many financial institutions in the United States, both private and public. Wages, social security payments, and pensions are all affected by the CPI.

Background:
A household food consumption and expenditure survey has been conducted each year in Great Britain (excluding Northern Ireland) since 1940. At that time the National Food Survey (NFS) covered a sample drawn solely from urban working-class households, but this was extended to a fully demographically representative sample in 1950. From 1957 onwards the Family Expenditure Survey (FES) provided information on all household expenditure patterns including food expenditure, with the NFS providing more detailed information on food consumption and expenditure. The NFS was extended to cover Northern Ireland from 1996 onwards. In April 2001 these surveys were combined to form the Expenditure and Food Survey (EFS), which completely replaced both series. From January 2008, the EFS became known as the Living Costs and Food (LCF) module of the Integrated Household Survey (IHS). As a consequence of this change, the questionnaire was altered to accommodate the insertion of a core set of questions, common to all of the separate modules which together comprised the IHS. Some of these core questions are simply questions which were previously asked in the same or a similar format on all of the IHS component surveys. For further information on the LCF questionnaire, see Volume A of the LCF 2008 User Guide, held with SN 6385. Further information about the LCF, including links to published reports based on the survey, may be found by searching for 'Living Costs and Food Survey' on the ONS website. Further information on the NFS and Living Costs and Food Module of the IHS can be found by searching for 'Family Food' on the GOV.UK website.

History:
The LCF (then EFS) was the result of more than two years' development work to bring together the FES and NFS; both survey series were well-established and important sources of information for government and the wider community, and had charted changes and patterns in spending and food consumption since the 1950s. Whilst the NFS and FES series are now finished, users should note that previous data from both series are still available from the UK Data Archive, under GNs 33071 (NFS) and 33057 (FES).

Purpose of the LCF
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has overall project management and financial responsibility for the LCF, while the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) sponsors the food data element. As with the FES and NFS, the LCF continues to be primarily used to provide information for the Retail Prices Index, National Accounts estimates of household expenditure, analysis of the effect of taxes and benefits, and trends in nutrition. The results are multi-purpose, however, providing an invaluable supply of economic and social data. The merger of the two surveys also brings benefits for users, as a single survey on food expenditure removes the difficulties of reconciling data from two sources.

Design and methodology The design of the LCF is based on the old FES, although the use of new processing software by the data creators has resulted in a dataset which differs from the previous structure. The most significant change in terms of reporting expenditure, however, is the introduction of the European Standard Classification of Individual Consumption by Purpose (COICOP), in place of the codes previously used. An additional level of hierarchy has been developed to improve the mapping to the previous codes. The LCF was conducted on a financial year basis from 2001, then moved to a calendar year basis from January 2006 (to complement the IHS) until 2015-16, when the financial year survey was reinstated at the request of users. Therefore, whilst SN 5688 covers April 2005 - March 2006, SN 5986 covers January-December 2006. Subsequent years cover January-December until 2014. SN 8210 returns to the financial year survey and currently covers April 2015 - March 2016.

Northern Ireland sample
Users should note that, due to funding constraints, from January 2010 the Northern Ireland (NI) sample used for the LCF was reduced to a sample proportionate to the NI population relative to the UK.

Family Food database:
'Family Food' is an annual publication which provides detailed statistical information on purchased quantities, expenditure and nutrient intakes derived from both household and eating out food and drink. Data is collected for a sample of households in the United Kingdom using self-reported diaries of all purchases, including food eaten out, over a two week period. Where possible quantities are recorded in the diaries but otherwise estimated. Energy and nutrient intakes are calculated using standard nutrient composition data for each of some 500 types of food. Current estimates are based on data collected in the Family Food Module of the LCFS. Further information about the LCF food databases can be found on the GOV.UK Family Food Statistics web pages.

Secure Access version
A Secure Access version of the LCF from 2006 onwards is available from the UK Data Archive under SN 7047, subject to stringent access conditions. The Secure Access version includes variables that are not included in the standard End User Licence (EUL) version, including geographical variables with detail below Government Office Region, to postcode level; urban/rural area indicators; other sensitive variables; raw diary information files (derived variables are available in the EUL) and the family expenditure codes files. Users are strongly advised to check whether the EUL version is sufficient for their needs before considering an application for the Secure Access version.

Occupation data for 2021 and 2022 data files
The ONS have identified an issue with the collection of some occupational data in 2021 and 2022 data files in a number of their surveys. While they estimate any impacts will be small overall, this will affect the accuracy of the breakdowns of some detailed (four-digit Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)) occupations, and data derived from them. None of ONS' headline statistics, other than those directly sourced from occupational data, are affected and you can continue to rely on their accuracy. For further information on this issue, please see: https://www.ons.gov.uk/news/statementsandletters/occupationaldatainonssurveys.

The book and periodical publishing industry is undergoing a period of change. The COVID-19 pandemic's stay-at-home orders and social distancing measures accelerated consumers' use of online and digital platforms, leading to declining revenue for traditional print publishers. Digital platforms, from social media to streaming services and news websites, experienced a surge in use, creating more competition for publishers. In the five years through 2024, publishing revenue is projected to drop at a compound annual rate of 5.8%, to reach €97.2 billion. Despite difficult conditions, the book publishing segment has had a strong growth in revenue since 2020, fuelled by consumers turning to books during the lockdowns. The Federation of European Publishers reported a 7.7% spike in book publishing revenue in the two years leading to 2022, following a minor drop in 2020. However, publishing costs have been surging in the last few years. Eurostat reported a 58.7% increase in paper manufacturing costs in the EU between January 2021 and October 2022. This, coupled with climbing transport costs and wages, ate into profit, particularly as discretionary spending dipped due to Europe's rising cost of living. Cost pressures on households is expected to cause a 6.2% drop in revenue in 2024. Looking to the future, publishers must adapt to the new digital world. The gradual decline in print media means publishers must develop their digital presence to supplement their print publications. Balancing these elements will be critical for publishers seeking to maintain a robust readership amidst digital media. The ubiquity of social media platforms and the affordability of self-publishing via e-books are bringing more creators into the fray, bypassing the traditional publishing route and driving revenue to rise at a forecast compound annual rate of 0.4% over the five years through 2029, reaching €99.1.

The Newsagents and Stationery Stores industry is navigating a challenging landscape, with revenue expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 1.9% over the five years through 2025-26 to £2.1 billion. The soaring popularity of digital news, especially among younger generations, is the main culprit for the continued freefall of newspaper sales. The work-from-home trend has seen demand for stationery tumble, although a resurgence in in-person office attendance has helped stabilise volatile revenue in the past couple of years. Difficulties have been compounded by a rocky economic period, with cost-of-living pressures driving up operational costs and cutting into consumers’ budgets, limiting sales. At the same time, a reliance on minimum wage workers means that increases in the National Living Wage have hit the industry hard, further straining profitability. The traditional stationery market is facing significant challenges as digital alternatives like laptops and tablets take over. This shift is accelerated by eco-conscious consumers seeking options that minimise paper use, reducing demand for products such as notebooks and pens. However, a countertrend is emerging, with digital fatigue and its effects on mental health encouraging consumers to cut their reliance on screens and turn back to paper. Newsagents and stationery stores find themselves in a fierce price war with supermarket chains and major online retailers. These larger businesses leverage their purchasing power and economies of scale to lower costs, ultimately pushing prices down. This is causing profit to shrink and squeezing smaller stores out of the market. Revenue is projected to decline by 3.8% in 2025-26. In the coming years, retailers are expected to focus on protecting profitability by streamlining costs through innovations such as self-service tills. However, the shift online will continue to impact sales for newsagents and stationery stores, even as concerns over digital fatigue grow. Moreover, younger consumers will increasingly transition to social media for news, further affecting the sales of traditional print media. However, mounting consumer interest in sustainable and artisanal stationery could usher in new opportunities for niche markets in the future, offering a glimmer of hope. Climbing environmental consciousness presents retailers with the chance to innovate and diversify their product offerings to attract a wider customer base. Still, reflecting the ongoing struggles, revenue is forecast to dip at a compound annual rate of 3.3% over the five years through 2030-31 to £1.8 billion.
