NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each

local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore,

subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a

result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index,

although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor

Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI

for use in their escalator clauses. 

NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.

NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each

local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore,

subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a

result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index,

although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor

Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI

for use in their escalator clauses. 

NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.
