Note: each year is chained with the weights BLS
published for it that December, exactly as BLS builds the index — so
the official figure here is the published All-Items number for the
period, not an approximation made with today's weights. "Official
weight" in the table is the area's own most recent December table,
which is what your inputs start from.
