    Description

    West Virginia and Kansas had the lowest cost of living across all U.S. states, with composite costs being half of those found in Hawaii. This was according to a composite index that compares prices for various goods and services on a state-by-state basis. In West Virginia, the cost of living index amounted to **** — well below the national benchmark of 100. Virginia— which had an index value of ***** — was only slightly above that benchmark. Expensive places to live included Hawaii, Massachusetts, and California. Housing costs in the U.S. Housing is usually the highest expense in a household’s budget. In 2023, the average house sold for approximately ******* U.S. dollars, but house prices in the Northeast and West regions were significantly higher. Conversely, the South had some of the least expensive housing. In West Virginia, Mississippi, and Louisiana, the median price of the typical single-family home was less than ******* U.S. dollars. That makes living expenses in these states significantly lower than in states such as Hawaii and California, where housing is much pricier. What other expenses affect the cost of living? Utility costs such as electricity, natural gas, water, and internet also influence the cost of living. In Alaska, Hawaii, and Connecticut, the average monthly utility cost exceeded *** U.S. dollars. That was because of the significantly higher prices for electricity and natural gas in these states.

    The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. Indexes are available for the U.S. and various geographic areas. Average price data for select utility, automotive fuel, and food items are also available. Prices for the goods and services used to calculate the CPI are collected in 75 urban areas throughout the country and from about 23,000 retail and service establishments. Data on rents are collected from about 43,000 landlords or tenants.

    Description

    Abstract

    Food price inflation is an important metric to inform economic policy but traditional sources of consumer prices are often produced with delay during crises and only at an aggregate level. This may poorly reflect the actual price trends in rural or poverty-stricken areas, where large populations reside in fragile situations. This data set includes food price estimates and is intended to help gain insight in price developments beyond what can be formally measured by traditional methods. The estimates are generated using a machine-learning approach that imputes ongoing subnational price surveys, often with accuracy similar to direct measurement of prices. The data set provides new opportunities to investigate local price dynamics in areas where populations are sensitive to localized price shocks and where traditional data are not available.

    About this dataset

    9The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: All Items (CPIAUCSL) is a measure of the average monthly change in the price for goods and services paid by urban consumers between any two time periods.(1) It can also represent the buying habits of urban consumers. This particular index includes roughly 88 percent of the total population, accounting for wage earners, clerical workers, technical workers, self-employed, short-term workers, unemployed, retirees, and those not in the labor force.(1)

    The CPIs are based on prices for food, clothing, shelter, and fuels; transportation fares; service fees (e.g., water and sewer service); and sales taxes. Prices are collected monthly from about 4,000 housing units and approximately 26,000 retail establishments across 87 urban areas.(1) To calculate the index, price changes are averaged with weights representing their importance in the spending of the particular group. The index measures price changes (as a percent change) from a predetermined reference date.(1) In addition to the original unadjusted index distributed, the Bureau of Labor Statistics also releases a seasonally adjusted index. The unadjusted series reflects all factors that may influence a change in prices. However, it can be very useful to look at the seasonally adjusted CPI, which removes the effects of seasonal changes, such as weather, school year, production cycles, and holidays.(1)

    The CPI can be used to recognize periods of inflation and deflation. Significant increases in the CPI within a short time frame might indicate a period of inflation, and significant decreases in CPI within a short time frame might indicate a period of deflation. However, because the CPI includes volatile food and oil prices, it might not be a reliable measure of inflationary and deflationary periods. For a more accurate detection, the core CPI (Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: All Items Less Food & Energy [CPILFESL]) is often used. When using the CPI, please note that it is not applicable to all consumers and should not be used to determine relative living costs.(1) Additionally, the CPI is a statistical measure vulnerable to sampling error since it is based on a sample of prices and not the complete average.(1)

    Description

    Explanation of CPI and the Dataset:

    What is CPI?

    CPI (Consumer Price Index) measures the average change in prices over time that consumers pay for a basket of goods and services. It is a key indicator of inflation and is used by governments and central banks to monitor price stability and for inflation targeting. Components: The construction of CPI involves two main components: Weighting Diagrams: These represent the consumption patterns of households. Price Data: This is collected at regular intervals to track changes in prices.

    Role of the Central Statistics Office (CSO):

    The CSO, under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, is responsible for releasing CPI data. The indices are released for Rural, Urban, and Combined sectors for all-India and individual States/UTs.

    Dataset Alignment:

    Sectors: The dataset includes a "Sector" column that categorizes data into "Rural," "Urban," and "Rural+Urban," aligning with the CPI data released by the CSO. Time Period: The "Year" and "Name" (which appears to represent months) columns in the dataset track the data over time, consistent with the monthly release schedule by the CSO starting from January 2011. State/UT Data: Each column corresponding to a state or union territory likely represents the CPI values for that region. The numeric values under each state/UT column represent the CPI index values, with a base of 2010=100. Purpose: This data can be used to analyze inflation trends, price stability, and the impact on economic policies, such as adjustments to dearness allowance for employees. Practical Use of This Data: Inflation Analysis: By examining the changes in CPI values across different states, analysts can study regional inflation trends and compare them to the national average. Policy Making: Governments and central banks can use this data to design and adjust policies aimed at controlling inflation, targeting specific regions or sectors that are experiencing higher inflation. Wage Indexation: Companies and governments can use CPI data to adjust wages and allowances in line with inflation, ensuring that purchasing power is maintained.
