Adjust housing prices for inflation

Start with the inflation rate formula:

CPI in 1967 / CPI in 1967 * 1967 USD value = 1967 USD value

Then plug in historical CPI values from above. The CPI for Housing was 30.785 in the year 1967 and 30.785 in 1967:

30.785 / 30.785 * $1 = $1

Therefore, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, $1 in 1967 has the same "purchasing power" as $1 in 1967 (in the CPI category of Housing).
