Seems about right to me.

R-CPI-E Homepage

Background
The BLS calculates a research price index called the Consumer Price Index for Americans 62 years of age and older, or R-CPI-E. The R-CPI-E is used by those interested in measures of price change specifically based on the spending patterns of the elderly (as defined in the construction of this index). Official uses of the R-CPI-E have been considered by other government agencies, but not implemented due to the limitations noted below.

Limitations
There are several limitations of this research price index which must be considered and understood by potential users of the data. Because of the limitations listed below, any conclusions drawn from these analyses should be treated as tentative.
