While correct, CPI-U is still an average. The spending mix of a young adult runs differently, and recent Fed work shows inflation isn’t uniform by group, with younger age groups often higher post-2021. So CPI-adjusted can still overstate how far a young renter’s paycheck goes.

Of course it's an average, again, that's the point. Thats how you make generalizations about what's going on.

Saying:

>"Thats how you make generalizations about what's going on."

Right after saying:

>"You're trying to bend the data to your pre-existing beliefs.

Is a little funny, but fair play.

I don't see how. You are engaging in a discussion about what is generally happening, meaning aggregating data is required.

If you want to have a conversation about specific people, then yes, you can find some young renter that is having problems. But that does not make it generally true.
