Headline YoY CPI for June 2025 was 2.7% compared to 2.9%, 0.7% and 0.2%, a year, five, and ten years ago, respectively. Taking a different perspective, the Median CPI and Sticky CPI measures provided by the Federal Reserve of Cleveland and Atlanta, respectively, suggest YoY readings of 3.6% and 3.3%. The Median CPI published by the Cleveland Fed excludes “all price changes except for the one in the center of the distribution of price changes, where the price changes are ranked from lowest to highest.” The Sticky CPI from the Atlanta Fed breaks down the various components of the Consumer Price Index into sticky and flexible categories, whereby the Sticky CPI index only includes “price changes for a particular CPI component occur less often, on average, than every 4.3 months.”  By comparing the larger dataset against a refined one, it allows for the removal of noisy data points. In general, the Median and Sticky CPI suggest a certain inelasticity in prices.
