This dataset contains monthly information on U.S. inflation, disaggregated by spending category, for the city average. The data is produced by the BLS but is retrieved from FRED, so there may be some delay. 

For the latest information on this topic, please refer to this [dataset](https://www.alphacast.io/datasets/inflation-usa-bls-consumer-price-index-u-s-city-average-special-aggregate-indexes-38662). 

October 2025 data was carried forward from September 2025, since it's not available in the original source due to the 2025 lapse in appropriations.
