    I assume the second graph is basing inflation on CPI as well and if I’m not mistaken that would mean dollars spent on mortgages are equivalent to dollars spent on rent.

    I would argue that as home ownership goes down inflation would become more impactful as you do not build wealth with rent but can with a mortgage.
