Reality Index inflation spans since 2004

Jeremy Horpedahl challenges claims about the cumulative inflation rate measured by the so-called Reality Index.

He states that to reach a cumulative inflation rate of 100 percent according to this index, one would need to go back to 2004, contradicting assertions that the same increase occurred since 2019.

Horpedahl has previously highlighted tax pressures, noting that a proposed data center in Little Rock could increase property taxes by 5,000 times compared to current levels (read more). In earlier analysis, he reported that hedonic models outside shelter and apparel categories raise the annual All Items CPI by just 0.005 percent (read more). These findings follow his latest challenge to recent inflation rate claims.
