The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) produces the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a measure of price change faced by consumers.

We estimate a family of price indexes known as Household Cost Indexes (HCI) using U.S. data. HCIs aim to measure the average inflation experiences of households as they purchase goods and services for consumption, and similar indexes are produced in the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
