Yes - assume you're buying 1/200th of an "average home" every month as part of a monthly basket of consumption. It's an assumption I use when comparing cost of living between cities.

Does CPI not include a shelter component, even a problematic one?

I think the grandparent commenter is talking about inflation measures in Canada — I don't think Canada uses US CPI.
