Re: CPI Composition
This is interesting. I would have thought that the reason health is so high relative to transportation and recreation is because of the monthly insurance payments that have to be paid. But health insurance is actually a minuscule cost relative to everything else.
Why, instead of house prices, do they list, “Owners Equivalent Rent of Primary Residence”? Housing prices have soared recently, but for some reason this information isn’t included in CPI.
