Example text - "While November and December’s data set new records for month-to-month price declines in Chicago at 2.8% and 3.0% respectively, January’s drop blew them both out of the water." The percentage decline for January, month-to-month is shown as 1.5%. How does that blow the November and December declines out of the water? The index for Chicago stood at 137.16 in December and 130.80 in January, which I calculate to be a 4.6% decline. Am I missing something?
