Abstract:
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for a market basket of goods and services. Each month, BLS data collectors visit or call thousands of retail stores, service establishments, rental units, and doctors offices all over the United States to obtain information on the prices of the thousands of items used to track and measure price changes in the CPI. The CPI Housing Survey is the nation's primary source of information on residential rent change.
