# Burger Price Index

> The Burger Price Index (BPI) tracks what a burger costs in 10 US cities, every week. Each city's BPI is a weighted average of surveyed burger prices: fast food 20%, casual/diner 40%, premium/gourmet 40%, from roughly 10-15 restaurants per city. Data is free to reuse under CC BY 4.0 with attribution to burgerprice.com. The BPI is entertainment and information, not investment advice.
