Economy Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH)-consistent inflation rates have been calculated for different UK household groups. Retired households have experienced slightly faster price growth than non-retired households since 2005 (2.3% on average per year compared with 2.2%); however, these averages conceal a larger variation in the 12-month inflation rates experienced by the two groups at different points over the period. Since 2005, the rate of inflation experienced by lower income households has averaged 2.3% per year, compared with 2.1% per year for the higher income households. Households with and without children have both, on average, experienced the same rate of inflation (2.2% on average per year). CPIH has grown by 2.2% per year on average over the same period, in line with households in the middle of the income distribution. The difference in the inflation rates experienced by different UK household groups has narrowed over the period since 2014.
