Laura Franks Bexley Consumer Price Index quarterly report.



Laura Franks reports the Bexley Consumer Price Index as of First Quarter, 2013.

The Bexley CPI reports on the aggregate prices paid for a uniform basket of merchandise purchased at retail in Bexley and nearby retail stores.

The Bexley CPI measures the change of prices for ordinary retail purchases made by Bexley residents.

The Bexley Consumer Price Index can be compared to the price changes reported by the US Department of Labor.  The comparison can provide useful information for Bexley consumers about local price changes compared to price changes in other parts of the United States.

Comparing current prices to prices for the first quarter, 2012, Bexley prices showed a year-to-year increase of 7.74 percent.for the aggregate cost of the uniform market basket.  The quarter-to-quarter aggregate cost also showed an increase at the rate of 8.51 percent.

Price changes appeared in the amount of sales tax paid, the price of home-office supplies and the price of one personal hygiene product.  The increase in actual sales tax paid is a consequence of the increase in retail prices paid.
