The CPI does not account for differences in inflation rates from state to state. NOTE: Expenditures for state administration are excluded in all years except 1969–70 and 1979–80. Beginning in 1989–90, the survey was expanded and coverage of state expendi­tures for public school districts was improved. Some data have been revised from previ­ously published figures.
