Inflation climbed at nearly twice the rate for some cities compared to others over the past year.
Phoenix saw a 12.1 percent increase to its consumer price index compared to New York's 6 percent increase over the past year, for instance.
To determine the difference in inflation growth between 22 major metropolitan statistical areas, WalletHub compared key metrics related to the Consumer Price Index, which measures inflation. It compared the Consumer Price Index for the latest month for which BLS data is available to two months prior and one year prior to assess how inflation changed in the short- and long-term.
