Note that consensus range estimates are based on surveys and averaged from a range and may vary depending on source of survey.
Note that starting with January 2023, the BLS plans to update weights annually for the Consumer Price Index based on a single calendar year of data, using consumer expenditure data from 2021. This reflects a change from prior practice of updating weights biennially using two years of expenditure data.
