Details
The World Bank has not published 2025: the Bureau of Labor Statistics collected no October 2025 prices during the lapse in appropriations. 2025 is therefore chained from the BLS CPI-U (all items, US city average) 2025 annual average, which BLS computed from the eleven months collected. The World Bank's US series is the CPI-U annual average, so the two are the same measure.
