Kentucky's Data
Kentucky (officially the Commonwealth of Kentucky) is a state in the Upland South region, known for its horse farms and bourbon distilleries. It was admitted in 1792 as the 15th state, formed out of western Virginia. Frankfort is the capital, while the largest city is Louisville. Kentucky’s land area is about 39,486 sq mi, including portions of the Appalachian Mountains in the east and the Bluegrass region in the center. The population is roughly 4.59 million (2024). The state is famed for the Kentucky Derby (horse race) and its rolling hills of bluegrass. Kentucky’s economy has mixed sectors: historically coal mining was big in the Appalachian east, while agriculture (tobacco, corn, thoroughbred horse breeding) is prominent in the Bluegrass region. Manufacturing (automotive assembly and aerospace parts) and bourbon whiskey production are significant economic drivers. Kentucky’s nominal GDP was about $291 billion in 2024. Culturally, Kentucky is known for its distinct Southern flavor – from bluegrass music to regional cuisine (like Kentucky bourbon and Hot Brown sandwiches) – and it has contributed heavily to American horse racing and music traditions.

Understanding the BLS and Inflation in Kentucky
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is a government agency that collects and analyzes economic data across the U.S., including states like Kentucky. One of its key responsibilities is tracking inflation through the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures how the cost of everyday goods and services changes over time. Inflation can impact everything from housing prices to the cost of groceries, gas, and utilities across the area. By tracking inflation, the BLS helps people from Kentucky understand how their purchasing power is affected and provides insights for businesses and policymakers.
What This Graph Represents
This graph shows inflation trends in Kentucky using the CPI, highlighting how prices have changed over time. The x-axis represents time (months and years), while the y-axis represents price levels. If the graph moves upward, it means the cost of living is rising, which can affect everything from rent to gas prices. A flatter or downward trend suggests that inflation is stabilizing or decreasing. Keeping an eye on inflation is important for people from Kentucky when budgeting for housing, wages, and daily expenses.
