Writing About: Campus inflation rate, 02/10/05, Shards
Here’s a further piece of information – how the rent for some of the campus accommodation has varied over the last few years. Rents are all per week, and if a year’s data was unavailable, the “inflation” is averaged over two years.
For comparison, the last table is the inflation rate, as measured by the RPI. Its notable that the rent on campus has gone up by 30-50%, whereas the RPI has gone up 18% since 98. I don’t have data on how average rent in Coventry (say) has varied over the same period, which would be a more appropriate comparison.
