Automobile finance charges rose 1.3 percent after declining 0.5 percent in March. The index for public transportation continued to advance. Charges for airline, intercity bus, and taxi fares all registered substantial increases. The index for food and beverages was unchanged in April. Prices for grocery store foods declined 0.2 percent, following an increase of 0.4 percent in March. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs declined 1.0 percent, about the same as in March. Beef, pork, and poultry prices, continued to decline, but egg prices advanced sharply—up 4.2 percent. Prices for sugar and sweets, fats and oils, and nonalcoholic beverages also declined in April. Fruit and vegetable prices rose 0.2 percent in April, following sharp increases in the 2 preceding months. Prices for most other grocery store food categories rose about the same as in March. Prices for the other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—rose 0.5 and 0.1 percent, respectively. The housing component advanced 0.7 percent in April, following an increase of 0.5 percent in March. Homeownership costs, which increased only 0.8 percent in the first quarter, rose 0.7 percent in April. Mortgage interest rates rose 1.6 percent, while house prices declined for the fourth consecutive month. Prices for household fuels rose 0.8 percent as a 0.5 percent decline in fuel oil prices partially offset a 1.3 percent increase in the index for gas and electricity. Fuel oil prices had increased 19.8 percent during the first quarter. (See table The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPi-U) rose 0.6 percent before seasonal adjustment in April to 266.8 (1967 = 100). The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPi-W) also increased 0.6 percent before seasonal adjustment in April to 266.8 (1967 = 100). Both the CPI-U and CPI-W were 10.0 percent higher than in April 1980. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for All Urban Consumers rose 0.4 percent in April. This compares with increases of 0.6 percent in March and 1.0 percent in February. The slowdown in the April index resulted from a deceleration in energy and food prices. The transportation component declined slightly in April, largely due to the drop in gasoline prices. The index for food and beverages was unchanged in April, following moderate increases in February and March. The indexes for apparel and upkeep and entertainment continued to rise, but by much less than in the last 2 months. On the other hand, the housing index advanced more than in February and March. The medical care and other goods and services indexes rose the same as in March. The transportation component declined 0.1 percent in April, following substantial increases in each of the 8 preceding months. A 1.4 percent decline in gasoline prices, which rose 13.2 percent in the first quarter, was responsible for the decline. The used car index declined for the second consecutive month. On the other hand, the new car index rose 1.8 percent, due to a termination Table A.

The new base was established by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, for use by all Federal government statistical agencies in line with the longstanding policy that index bases be updated periodically. (See Technical Note, "Federal agencies updating base year of indexes to 1977," in the February 1981 issue of Monthly Labor Review.)

Historical data for each CPI series on the new base will be available from BLS on request. For the convenience of users, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will continue to publish all items indexes for the U.S. city average, as well as for the 28 local areas for which CPI'S are available, on their former official reference base (1967 = 100 in most cases).

Effective with the January 1978 index, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began publishing CPI'S for two population groups: (1) a new CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPi-U) which covers approximately 80 percent of the total noninstitutional civilian population; and (2) a revised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which represents about half the population covered by the CPIu. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups which historically have been excluded from CPI coverage, such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the self-employed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees and others not in the labor force. The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors' and dentists' services, drugs, and the other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across the country from over 18,000 tenants, 18,000 housing units for property taxes, and about 24,000 establishments—grocery and department stores, hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of food, fuels, and a few other items are obtained every month in all 85 locations. Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the five largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal visits of the Bureau's trained representatives. Mail questionnaires are used to obtain public utility rates, some fuel prices, and certain other items. In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights which represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also published for 28 local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities; they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period. The index measures price changes from a designated reference date—1967—which equals 100.0. An increase of 22 percent, for example, is shown as 122.0. This change can also be expressed in dollars as follows: The price of a base period "market basket" of goods and services in the CPI has risen from $10 in 1967 to $12.20. For further details see the following: The Consumer Price Index: Concepts and Content Over the Years, Report 517, revised edition (Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 1978); The Revision of the Consumer Price Index, by W. John Layng, reprinted form the Statistical Reporter, February 1978, No. 78-5 (U.S. Dept. of Commerce), and Revisions in the Medical Care Service component of the Consumer Price Index, by Daniel H. Ginsburg, Monthly Labor Review, August 1978. Calculating Index Changes Movements of the indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. The example in the accompanying box illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula for compound growth rates. These data indicate what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained for a 12-month period. 106 Index Point Change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change: 236.4 233.2 3.2 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals: Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change: 3.2 233.2 0.014 0.014x100 1.4 Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each month. For analyzing general price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year—such as price movements resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data are also used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation. Seasonal factors used to compute the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-ll Variant of the Census Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program. Annual updates replace 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data from 1976 through 1980 will be replaced at the end of 1980. The seasonal movement of all items and 35 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 45 selected components. Explanation of Homeownership Measures Official CPI-U includes five components. (1) The weights for property taxes, property insurance, and home maintenance and repairs represent expenditures of all homeowners in the base period. The weights for house prices and contracted mortgage interest cost represent only those homeowners who actually purchased a home in the base period. Included are the total price paid for the home, and the total amount of interest expected to be paid over half the stated life of the mortgage. (2) Current monthly prices are used for each of these components. Experimental Measure X-l: (1) The weight for this rental equivalence measure is the estimate of the rental value of all owner-occupied homes in the base period compiled froiyi a specific question asked on the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey. This covers the entire stock of owned homes. (2) Prices used are the current rents collected for the residential rent component of the CPI. The CPI rent component is designed to represent changes in residential rents for all types of housing units, not just changes in rents for units that are typically owner occupied. The CPI rent component is, therefore, not appropriate for this measure. Experimental Measure X-2: (1) The weight for this user cost method includes expenditures for mortgage interest, property taxes, property insurance, maintenance and repairs, the estimated base-period cost of homeowners' equity in their houses, and the offset to shelter costs resulting from the estimated appreciation of house values in the base period. This measure covers the entire stock of owned houses. To derive the weights for mortgage interest costs and equity costs, the total value of the housing stock in the base period was apportioned into its debt and equity components. The debt component equals the amount owed and the equity component is the amount owned, i.e., payments on principal plus appreciation from the time of purchase to the base period. Each component was subsequently multiplied by the average mortgage interest rate in the base period to determine its cost. (2) Prices used are current ones except for the appreciation term which uses a 5-year moving average of the changes in appreciation rates. Experimental Measure X-3: (1) The weights are the same as in Experimental Measure X-2, except that mortgage interest costs are calculated as the total interest amount paid out by homeowners in the base period. As in X-l and in X-2, this measure covers the entire homeowner population. (2) The prices for all components except mortgage interest costs and appreciation are current monthly prices. As in X-2, appreciation is represented by a 5-year moving average of the changes in house prices. However, X-3, uses past and current mortgage interest costs in a 15-year weighted moving average which reflects the base period age distribution of mortgage loans. Experimental Measure X-4: (1) The weights for this outlays approach include expenditures actually made in the base period for property taxes, property insurance, maintenance, and repairs. The weight for the mortgage interest term is calculated in the same manner as in X-2. However, no appreciation or equity terms are included. Not all homeowners are represented in this measure because those who made no mortgage debt payment in the base period are excluded. (2) The prices used for each of these items are current ones. Experimental Measure X-5: (1) The weights for this outlays approach include, as in X-4, expenditures actually made in the base period for property taxes, property insurance, maintenance, and repairs. The weight for the mortgage interest cost term is the same as for the X-3. No appreciation or equity elements are used. As in X-4, not all homeowners are represented in this measure because those who made no mortgage debt payment in the base period are excluded. (2) Current prices are used in X-5 except for mortgage interest which uses the 15-year moving average also used in the X-3. 107 it U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE: I98I — 341-261-7 AMERICAN SAMOA Regions ¥11 and ¥111 1603 JFK Federal Building Government Center Boston, Mass. 02203 Phone: (617) 223-6761 Suite 3400 1515 Broadway New York, N.Y. 10036 Phone: (212) 944-3121 3535 Market Street P.O.
