National Factors — same for every state
Not available at state level on FRED: gas prices (EIA publishes PADD regional averages for 5 districts, not individual states), CPI inflation, core inflation, PCE, food CPI, rent CPI, consumer sentiment, personal savings rate, total consumer debt, credit card delinquency, and quit rate are all published as national aggregates only. The federal funds rate and 10-year Treasury yield are the same for all states. These are shown below as shared economic conditions that affect every state equally.
