Hi Erik,

In speaking with our analyst, we can’t know from where Shadowstats gets its info. You would have to contact Shadowstats themselves.

Unless you just wanted to see the data that was used, if that’s the case, there’s usually a link near the chart to download an Excel file of the data (may require a subscription). Hope this helps a bit.

Hi Erik – sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I am sure we can look into that. Will have our analyst take a look and get back to you.

I personally think it is much more accurate than the CPI-U that the Fed claims, because they exclude the 2 largest costs that people have: housing and energy.
