Cities in Hawaii may have little in common with those in Texas. But in May, they shared an unfortunate record: Residents of two of their largest metros were among those hit hardest by inflation in the U.S., according to a study by WalletHub.
Inflation was up 3.3 percent nationally in May compared to a year ago, but figures were higher in some cities: it was at 3.5 percent in Detroit, 3.8 percent in San Francisco, 4.4 percent in Seattle, while Dallas at 5 percent and Honolulu at 5.2 percent led the ranking, the findings show.
