How to calculate the inflation rate for housing, 2000-2018

Start with the inflation rate formula:

CPI in 2018 / CPI in 2000 * 2000 USD value = 2018 USD value

Then plug in historical CPI values from above. The CPI for Housing was 169.575 in the year 2000 and 256.561 in 2018:

256.561 / 169.575 * $100,000 = $151,296.59

Therefore, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, $100,000 in 2000 has the same "purchasing power" as $151,296.59 in 2018 (in the category of Housing).
