Consumer prices in the Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington area declined 0.4% over the two-month period ending in March 2025, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Breakdown of Changes:

0.6% decrease in all items excluding food and energy

0.1% decrease in energy prices

0.2% increase in food prices

Michael Hirniak, Assistant Commissioner for Regional Operations at the BLS, stated that the decline in core prices—which excludes food and energy—was the primary factor behind the overall drop in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).



Despite this recent decline, the CPI-U remains up 1.4% year-over-year through March 2025. Still, the recent easing in prices may indicate a potential cooling in regional inflation.
