Price Movements
April 1983

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) increased 0.7 percent before seasonal adjustment in April. The April level of 295.5 (1967= 100) was
3.9 percent higher than the index in April 1982.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose 0.6 percent in April,
prior to seasonal adjustment, to a level of 294.9
(1967=100). For the 12-month period ended in April,
the CPI-W has also increased 3.9 percent. The CPI-W
is used for indexing Social Security and some other
Federal payments. It is also commonly used as an escalator in collective bargaining agreements.

of March 1981. Moderating the impact of the jump in
motor fuel prices was a decline in automobile prices;
new car prices declined 0.6 percent, while used car
prices registered a 0.2 percent increase. Automobile finance charges—down 2.8 percent—declined for the
ninth consecutive month. Largely as a result of an increase in airline fares, the index for public transportation rose 1.9 percent in April, after registering declines
in both February and March.
The housing component advanced 0.5 percent in
April, following a small decline in March. Shelter costs,
which were unchanged in March, rose 0.7 percent in
April. Within the shelter component, homeowners' costs
rose 0.8 percent, while renters' costs increased 0.4 percent. Both owners' and renters' costs have risen at an
average monthly rate of 0.4 percent during the first 4
months of this year. The index for maintenance and repairs, which pertain to both renters and homeowners,
increased 1.1 percent. The index for fuels and utilities
rose 0.2 percent, following declines in each of the preceding 3 months. A 1.8 percent increase in charges for
natural gas more than offset declines in fuel oil prices
and charges for electricity. The index for household
furnishings and operations increased 0.5 percent in
April, following an increase of 0.2 percent in March.
The index for food and beverages advanced 0.5 percent in April. Grocery store food prices rose 0.4 percent, following a 0.9 percent increase in March. This
month's smaller but still substantial increase—up 1.0
percent—in fruit and vegetable prices was largely re-

CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally
adjusted changes
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for All Urban Consumers rose 0.6 percent in April, following an
increase of 0.1 percent in March. The April rise, which
compares with an average monthly increase of 0.3 percent from September 1981 through March 1983, was
due largely to higher prices for energy and shelter. The
transportation index, affected by the additional 5 cents
a gallon Federal excise tax on motor fuel, recorded its
first increase since last October. The housing component which had declined in March, advanced in April
as homeowners' costs and fuel prices rose.
A 3.9 percent increase in the prices for motor fuels
accounted for virtually all of the 1.1 percent rise in the
transportation component. Despite this advance, gasoline prices were still 14.1 percent below their peak level

sponsible for the moderation. Fresh vegetable prices,
which had declined 22.3 percent from January 1982
through February 1983, have increased 17.7 percent in
the past 2 months. The index for meats, poultry, fish,
and eggs rose 0.5 percent in April compared with 0.2
percent in March. The 2.1 percent rise in beef prices,
following declines in each of the preceding 4 months,
more than offset the second consecutive monthly decrease in prices for both pork and poultry. Egg prices
increased, but by less than in March. All other major
grocery store food groups continued to record relatively moderate increases or declines in April. The other
two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—both increased
0.4 percent.
The April increase of 0.5 percent in the medical care
component was the same as in March and significantly
less than the average monthly increase of 0.9 percent
for the period from December 1980 through February
1983. The index for medical care commodities, which
includes prescription and non-prescription drugs and
medical supplies, rose 1.1 percent. Within medical care
services, charges for professional services and hospital
rooms rose 0.4 and 0.7 percent, respectively.
The index for apparel and upkeep increased 0.2 percent in April, following a decline of 0.1 percent in
March. The entertainment component declined 0.1 percent in April, following an increase of 0.3 percent in
March. The April decline in entertainment commodities—reading materials, sporting goods and equipment,
and toys, hobbies, and other entertainment goods—more
than offset the increase in entertainment services. The
index for other goods and services rose 0.7 percent in
April. Although more than in March, it was less than
any monthly increase in the preceding 6 months.

in April, following a 0.3 percent increase in March. A
sharp increase in the transportation component (up 1.4
percent in April compared with a decline of 0.2 percent in March) was primarily responsible for the acceleration in the overall CPI from March to April. Larger
increases in the medical care and other goods and services components in April—up 0.5 and 0.6 percent, respectively, also contributed to the acceleration. The
food and beverage index registered a 0.5 percent increase for the second consecutive month. On the other
hand, the housing component rose 0.3 percent in April,
following a 0.4 percent increase in March. The index
for entertainment was unchanged, while the apparel and
upkeep component declined 0.1 percent in April, after
both series had registered moderate increases in March.
The 0.6 percent rise in the CPI-W was the same as
in the CPI-U. The CPI-U uses the new rental equivalence measure, which rose 0.8 in April, to measure shelter costs of homeowners. Homeownership in the CPIW, which uses house prices, mortgage interest rates,
property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance
and repair costs, rose 0.3 percent in April. Increases in
house prices, property insurance, property taxes, and
maintenance and repair costs more than offset a decline
in mortgage interest rates.
Announcement to Users: Homeownership
Changes
Effective with release of the index for January 1983,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics changed the way
homeowner costs are measured in the CPI-U to rental
equivalence. The rental equivalence approach calculates homeowner costs of the shelter based on the implicit rent owners would have to pay to rent the homes
they own. The old method calculated homeowner costs
as home purchase, mortgage interest costs, property
taxes, property insurance and maintenance and repair.
As previously announced, the CPI-W will be changed
to rental equivalence effective with data for January
1985. The CPI experimental measures, known as the

CPI-U, X-l through CPI-U, X-5 are no longer being
published.
The new homeowners' cost component has been introduced into the CPI-U in such a manner that the indexes using the old and new methodologies are equal
in the so-called link month—December 1982. A similar
technique will be employed for the CPI-W in December 1984. This technical procedure has been used in
previous revisions of the CPI. In accordance with historical practice, BLS will make available to users, for
a 6-month overlap period, calculations based on the old
method of homeownership. In the case of the CPI-U,
the overlap period will run from January to June 1983;
for the CPI-W, the overlap period will run from January to June 1985.
The new homeowners' cost component is similar to
the one used in the CPI-U, X-l, with 4 important refinements. First, BLS has calculated a set of owner
weights for the individual units in the CPI rent sample.
These new weights make the rent sample represent
owner occupied housing and permit the calculation of
a rent change estimate for homeowners.
Second, the Bureau has augmented the rent sample
in order to enhance the rental equivalence measure.
This new sampling is concentrated in areas where the
housing is predominantly owner-occupied in order to




increase the proportion of rental units that have characteristics similar to owner-occupied units.
Third, the expenditure weight for rental equivalence,
which for the experimental index, X-l, was calculated
by means of a short-cut method, has been recalculated
using the complex statistical estimating procedure used
for weights in the official CPI. In addition, the weights
associated with other homeowner expenditures for such
things as insurance, appliances, and maintenance and
repairs have been modified to be consistent with the
rental equivalence concept. This enhancement has improved the quality of the national CPPs rental equivalence weight and provides weights for computation of
local area CPI-U's using the rental equivalence
approach.
Finally, the computer system which produces the CPI
each month has been expanded to accommodate the
calculation, with complete item and geographic detail,
and with proper geographic weighting for the rental
equivalence approach. BLS will continue to work on
other refinements in the statistical estimating techniques
used in the rental equivalence measure. See tables C
and D for a description of changes in the index structure. For further detail, see the January or February
1983 issues of this report.

B - 385,000 to 1,250,000.
C 75,000 to 385,000.
D Less than 75,000.
Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes
A-1 and A-2.
NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI
program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national
index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to
substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the
national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than
the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar.
Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider
adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses.

C 75,000 to 385,000.
D Less than 75,000.
Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes
A-1 and A-2.
NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI
program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national
index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to
substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the
national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than
the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar.
Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider
adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses.

Area is generally the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA),
exclusive of farms. LA.-Long Beach, Anaheim, Calif, is a combination of
two SMSA's, and N.Y., N.Y.-Northeastern N.J. and Chicago, III.Northwestern Ind. are the more extensive Standard Consolidated Areas.
Area definitions are those established by the Office of Management and
Budget in 1973, except for Denver-Boulder, Colo, which does not include
Douglas County. Definitions do not include revisions made since 1973.

Regions are defined as the four Census regions.
The population size classes are aggregations of areas which have
urban population as defined:

B
- 385,000 to 1,250,000.
C 75,000 to 385,000.
D Less than 75,000.
Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes
A-1 and A-2.
NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI
program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national
index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to
substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the
national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than
the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar.
Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider
adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses.

Technical Notes

Brief Explanation of the CPI
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the
average change in prices over time in a fixed market
basket of goods and services. 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
CPI-U. 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 about
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 by size of city, by region of
the country, for cross-classifications of regions and
population-size classes, and 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 122 percent, for example, is shown as 222.0. 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 $22.20.

Price Index: Concepts and Content Over the Years,

May 1978); The Revision of the Consumer Price Index,

Reporter, February 1978, No. 78-5 (U.S. Dept. of Commerce), Revisions in the Medical Care Service Component of the Consumer Price Index, by Daniel H.
Ginsburg, Monthly Labor Review, August 1978; and
CPI Issues, Report 593, (Bureau of Labor Statistics,
February 1980).

A Note About 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.

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 1977 through 1981 were replaced at the end of
1981. The seasonal movement of all items and 35 other
aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal
movement of 45 selected components. Each year the
seasonal status of every series is reevaluted based upon
certain statistical criteria. If any of the 45 selected components changes its seasonal status, seasonal data from
1967 forward for the all-items and for any of the 35
other aggregations that have that series as a component,
are replaced.
