NATIONAL HOUSE CONSTRUCTION COST INDEX; Up until October 2006 it was known as the National House Building Index
Oct 2000 data; The index since October, 2000, includes the first phase of an agreement following a review of rates of pay and grading structures for the Construction Industry and the first phase increase under the PPF.
April, May and June 2001; Figures revised in July 2001due to 2% PPF Revised Terms.
March 2002; The drop in the March 2002 figure is due to a decrease in the rate of PRSI from 12% to 10¾% with effect from 1 March 2002.
The index from April 2002 excludes the one-off lump sum payment equal to 1% of basic pay on 1 April 2002 under the PPF.
April, May, June 2003; Figures revised in August'03 due to the backdated increase of 3% from 1April 2003 under the National Partnership Agreement 'Sustaining Progress'.
The increases in April and October 2006 index are due to Social Partnership Agreement "Towards 2016".
March 2011; The drop in the March 2011 figure is due to a 7.5% decrease in labour costs.
Methodology in producing the Index
Prior to October 2006:
The index relates solely to labour and material costs which should normally not exceed 65% of the total price of a house. It does not include items such as overheads, profit, interest charges, land development etc.
The House Building Cost Index monitors labour costs in the construction industry and the cost of building materials. It does not include items such as overheads, profit, interest charges or land development. The labour costs include insurance cover and the building material costs include V.A.T. Coverage:
The type of construction covered is a typical 3 bed-roomed, 2 level local authority house and the index is applied on a national basis.
Data Collection:
The labour costs are based on agreed labour rates, allowances etc. The building material prices are collected at the beginning of each month from the same suppliers for the same representative basket.
Calculation:
Labour and material costs for the construction of a typical 3 bed-roomed house are weighted together to produce the index.
Post October 2006:
The name change from the House Building Cost Index to the House Construction Cost Index was introduced in October 2006 when the method of assessing the materials sub-index was changed from pricing a basket of materials (representative of a typical 2 storey 3 bedroomed local authority house) to the CSO Table 3 Wholesale Price Index. The new Index does maintains continuity with the old HBCI.

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.

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.

In January 2025, the unadjusted consumer price index (CPI) of all items for urban consumers in the United States amounted to about 317.67. The data represents U.S. city averages. The base period was 1982-84=100. The CPI is defined by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics 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 annual consumer price index for urban consumers in the U.S. can be accessed here. Consumer Price Index The Consumer Price Index (CPI) began in 1919 under the Bureau of Labor Statistics and is published every month. The CPI for all urban consumers includes urban households in Metropolitan Statistical Areas and regions with over 2,500 inhabitants, as well as non-farm consumers living in rural regions. This index was established in 1978 and includes about 80 percent of the U.S. population. The monthly CPI of urban consumers in the United States increased from 292.3 in May 2022 to 304.13 in 2023. Inflation tends not to impact everyone equally for a variety of reasons, including geography - CPI often differs between regions, with a high of 287.49 in the Western region as of 2021. There are also disparities in inflation between income quartiles, in which inflation is generally felt more heavily by lower income households. The annual CPI in the United States has increased steadily over the past two decades, from 140.3 in 1992 to 292.56 in 2022. A forecast of the CPI expects this positive trend to continue, reaching 325.6 by 2027. As of March 2023, the CPI of the nation’s education had increased by 3.5 percent. Further, in the same month costs of recreation, rent, housing, medical care, and food and beverages, gasoline, and transportation increased. Comparatively, the CPI in Hong Kong reached 103.3 in 2022.

Labour cost statistics constitute a hierarchical system of multi-annual, yearly and quarterly statistics, designed to provide a comprehensive and detailed picture of the level, structure and short-term development of labour costs in the different sectors of economic activity in the European Union and certain other countries. All statistics are based on a harmonised definition of labour costs.

The quarterly Labour Cost Index (LCI) is one of the Principal European economic indicators. It shows the short-term development of the labour cost, the total cost on an hourly basis of employing labour. In other words, the LCI measures the cost pressure arising from the production factor “labour”.

The data covered by the LCI collection relate to the total average hourly labour costs and its components "wages and salaries" and "employers' social security contributions plus taxes paid minus subsidies received by the employer" (known as the non-wage component of the LCI). The data on vocational training costs and other expenditures such as recruitment costs and working clothes expenditure is not included in the calculation of the labour cost index.

The data is broken down by economic activity (NACE Rev 1.1 Sections C to O (1996Q1-2008Q4) and NACE Rev. 2 Sections B to S (2009Q1 onwards). The data is available for the EU aggregates and the EU Member States, EFTA countries (Iceland and Norway) as well as candidate and potential candidate countries (Serbia and Turkey). The data is available as 'unadjusted data (neither seasonally adjusted nor calendar adjusted data)', 'calendar-adjusted data' as well as 'seasonally and calendar adjusted' data.

The data on the Labour Cost Index is given in the form of index numbers (current base year: 2020) and as annual and quarterly growth rates (comparison with the previous quarter, or the same quarter of the previous year). Since June 2023 (publication of 2023Q1 data) base year of the indices changed from 2016 to 2020. Indices with the base year 2016 will no longer be published.

The National Statistical Institutes compile the indicators based on the available structural and short-term information collected directly from the sampled enterprises or taken from administrative data sources. All enterprises, irrespective of the size (measured by the number of employees) are covered in the LCI.

In addition, Eurostat estimates of the annual labour cost per hour in euros are provided for the EU Member States as well as the whole EU; they were obtained by combining the four-yearly Labour cost survey (LCS) with the quarterly labour cost index. Methodological information related to the annual estimates of hourly labour costs is available in separate metadata accessible here.

Early estimates of the Labour Cost Index (‘flash estimates’ or ‘FEs’) (quarterly)

Since May 2024, Eurostat has started publishing early estimates for the Labour Cost Index (‘flash estimates’ or ‘FEs’). The flash estimates (are published around t+50 days, as specified in the general release calendar of Eurostat, based on the data transmitted at t+45 days. EU countries that participate in the FE data collection are those whose annual number of employees (over the age of 15) represents more than 3% of EU totals or 3% of euro area totals, based on LFS data assessed over a period of three consecutive years. These 9 selected countries (i.e. ‘FE countries ’) are: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Poland and Romania (see table 1).
