Inflation is still climbing sharply in these U.S. cities | KTVE
SUMMARY: Residents in certain cities in the United States are experiencing higher consumer prices compared to the rest of the country, even as the national inflation rate levels off. According to a study by WalletHub, Honolulu and Miami have seen the steepest increases in consumer prices, while Detroit and Anchorage have seen prices cool the most. The US inflation rate settled at 3.5%, still above the Federal Reserve's target of 2%. Factors contributing to the rising prices include residual supply chain issues and a strong economy pressuring wages and providing opportunities for businesses to raise prices.

SUMMARY: Orleans Parish received a D grade for its water system, with Port Sulfur being tied for the worst in the state. The Department of Health released water grades based on 2023 data, with some tap water improving while others worsened. LDH looks at seven standards for the water grade and deducts points from a total possible 100. 53% of Louisianians live in an A grade water system, with 75% living in either an A or B grade system. The worst report cards for Southeast Louisiana in both 2022 and 2023 showed declines in water quality, with one water system in Port Sulfur only receiving 26 out of 100 points.
