The hub reads the raw CPI files published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. We average monthly observations into annual figures so each of the 672 category-year combinations has a dedicated landing page.
Want to expand the collection? Drop the raw CSV for another BLS series (Food, Medical, Housing, etc.) intoraw_data/cpi_raw.csv and rerun npm run generate:inflation. The site then regeneratesdata/inflation_master.json and builds new static files for every new slug/year pair.
Each dynamic page follows the pattern “value of $100 in 1950 for Buying Power” so that Google indexes 600+ unique, authoritative URLs instead of a single calculator.
