Nominal to real conversion uses BLS CPI-U data. "Real change vs 2024" shows whether the item has become more or less expensive than general inflation would predict. Negative means the item is cheaper in real terms than 2024; positive means it has risen faster than inflation. Sources vary by item and are listed in the data sources page.
