Why we checked itA specific figure comparing Pennsylvania's inflation rate to the national average — verifiable against economic data and highly impactful if inaccurate.
What we foundPennsylvania's (Philadelphia metro) inflation rate has been higher than the national average, but the specific '25 percent higher' figure is an exaggeration of the actual differential, which ranges from roughly 24% to 42% depending on the time period and measure used — and cumulative inflation since 2021 was actually lower than the national average.
