Chicago Fed Income-Based Economic Index (IBEX)®

The IBEX is a series of economic statistics that measure the economic experience of particular income and demographic groups. The IBEX groups include the elderly and the working poor, as well as groupings by education, income quartile and race.

The IBEX 12 Month Inflation Rates provide a monthly chain-weighted inflation measure for more than thirty socio-economic and demographic groups, as well as the overall urban population. It covers the period from 1983-2008. The inflation rates are updated annually in the first quarter of each year when new data for expenditures are available.
