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, survey was expanded and coverage of state expenditures for public school districts was improved. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
