Introducing the ABC Price Tracker

The ABC Data Team has launched the Price Tracker, an interactive tool that provides up-to-date information on the price of household necessities in your area.

It displays regional prices of essentials for the 100 largest U.S. metro areas over the last decade. Simply search for your area to see how the cost of living has changed for households like yours. Then select groceries, housing or utilities to drill down into each category of basic expenses.

The ABC Price Tracker can help you answer questions like:

  • How have rent and other housing expenses changed over the last 10 years?

  • Which grocery items have seen the biggest price hikes nationwide?

  • When was the last time gas cost less than $3 per gallon in my area?

The interactive tool will automatically update with the latest data available, so you can give your sticker shock a gut check.
