Why Your Money Feels Smaller: The Real Geography of Inflation

Why does everything feel more expensive? In this data-driven explainer, we unpack inflation through maps, charts, and visuals to show how prices changed across the world and inside the United States since 2019. From supply chain shocks to housing costs, energy prices, and food inflation, this video explains why your dollar doesn’t go as far as it used to — and why the impact feels different depending on where you live. We compare global trends, dive into U.S. inflation over time, and zoom into states like Florida, Texas, California, and New York to show how housing and rent shaped regional differences. We also look at why inflation hits developing countries like Bangladesh even harder.
