Definition
Percent change of the CPI-U for shelter, US city average, not seasonally adjusted, from the same month a year earlier.
More on how it is measured
- Rent of primary residence, owners' equivalent rent of residences, lodging away from home, and tenants' and household insurance.
- Owners' equivalent rent estimates what homeowners would pay to rent their home; it does not track house prices.
United States only. Calculated from the index (cpi_index_shelter, series CUUR0000SAH1) and rounded to one decimal as BLS rounds its published 12-month changes; each value shows both index values. For all items inflation use cpi_annual_change. For house prices use the FHFA house price indicators.
