Survey data indicates significant inflation differences among major U.S. cities.

On Thursday,Australian entertainment platform the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that the annual inflation rate over seven months rose to 3.2%, up from 3% in June. This marks an end to the trend of continual decline that had persisted for over a year.

A survey on inflation across various U.S. cities by the personal finance website WalletHub showed significant differences in inflationary pressures among cities. Denver, Colorado, experienced the fastest inflation growth rate compared to other U.S. cities, exceeding the national average by more than one percentage point.

The survey also found that Atlanta, Detroit, and Seattle are among the cities facing the highest inflationary pressures. In contrast, Washington D.C., Boston, Chicago, and Minneapolis had inflation rates below 3%, marking them as the cities with the "least" inflation concerns.

Researchers in Denver believe that the differences in inflation rates among states are often due to the particularities of each state's real estate market. The city's high housing costs have contributed to inflating prices. Brian Lewandowski from Leeds Business Research noted that housing accounts for 44% of the overall weight of Disposable Personal Income (DPI). In the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood area, DPI increased by 8.8% year-over-year, compared to 6.2% and 7.1% for the national and mountain regions, respectively.

Last month, a study by the U.S. Department of Labor showed that high housing costs in Florida led to the state experiencing the highest inflationary pressures in the United States.

Amanda Phalin, an economist at the University of Florida, stated that many businesses or consumers opt to work or invest in real estate in Florida due to its strong economic growth momentum and lower taxes, among other reasons. However, data indicates a slowdown in the upward trend of Florida's housing prices, with July house prices only increasing by 0.2% month-over-month, as housing expenses such as rent continue to rise.
