rrlumd- You are using CPI-U which is.....What is CPI-U?
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the statistical metric developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics used to monitor the change in the price of a set list of products. The idea is that by monitoring the fluctuations in price it costs to purchase a set basket of goods, the government can track the cost of living for most individuals. The CPI-U is the CPI value for Urban Consumers, which excludes rural populations and represents approximately 80% of the population. The CPI and CPI-U do not directly measure inflation, but it gives a very good idea of whether we are in a period of inflation or deflation and how severe that change may be.

The CPI-W is a continuation of the original CPI developed early in the 1900s to provide cost-of-living adjustment information to wage-earning workers."
