Measured Variants
In total there are six measured variants of CPI based on data drawn from two different geographic sets: metropolitan areas only and both metropolitan and other urban areas. The Core and Food indexes are compiled across both geographic sets. The All Items index is compiled only for metropolitan areas. CPI minus mortgage costs (CPIX) is compiled only for both metropolitan and urban areas.

Famous quotes containing the words measured and/or variants:

—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect.”
