Northeast Consumer Price Index History

Please note: We are now publishing the Northeast Urban Region CPI-U. This is a different data set then the Northeast CPI-U Size Class B/C previously published.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a price index constructed monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics that provides a statistical measure of the average change in prices in a fixed market basket of goods and services. It is frequently called a cost-of-living index, however, it is not a complete cost-of-living measure.
