Louisiana's Data
Louisiana is a state in the Deep South, known for its unique Creole and Cajun culture. It was admitted to the Union in 1812 as the 18th state. Baton Rouge is the capital, while New Orleans is its largest city and cultural heart. Louisiana’s land area is about 43,204 sq mi, much of it low-lying delta land around the Mississippi River. The state’s population is about 4.60 million (2024). Having been a French and Spanish colony before the Louisiana Purchase (1803), Louisiana retains a civil law system and a cultural blend of French, African, Caribbean, and American influences. The economy of Louisiana historically centered on agriculture (sugar, cotton) and port trade via New Orleans. In the 20th century, oil and gas production, petrochemicals, and refining became dominant – the state remains a top energy producer with extensive offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Louisiana’s nominal GDP was about $327 billion in 2024. Tourism and seafood are also significant (Louisiana supplies a large portion of U.S. shrimp and oysters). Culturally, Louisiana is famed for Mardi Gras in New Orleans, jazz music (the birthplace of jazz), distinctive cuisine (gumbo, jambalaya), and its French Creole dialects.

Understanding the BLS and Inflation in Louisiana
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is a government agency that collects and analyzes economic data across the U.S., including states like Louisiana. 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 Louisiana understand how their purchasing power is affected and provides insights for businesses and policymakers.
What This Graph Represents
This graph shows inflation trends in Louisiana 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 Louisiana when budgeting for housing, wages, and daily expenses.
