Shelter costs rose 0.5 percent in April after registering a 0.1-percent increase in March. These two components accounted for about three-fourths of the acceleration in the index for all items less food and energy. During the first 4 months of 1993, the CPI-U advanced at a 4.3-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate. This com pares with a 2.9-percent increase in 1992. Each of the three special index groups—food, energy, and all items less food and energy—have contributed to this acceleration. The food and beverage index rose 0.4 percent in April. Grocery store food prices also advanced 0.4 percent, fol lowing a 0.1-percent rise in March. The acceleration in the April index was largely the result of an upturn in the index for fruits and vegetables and a 1.1-percent increase in the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs. Beef prices, which rose 0.8 percent in 1992, increased 1.0 percent in April and have advanced 3.6 percent through the first 4 months of 1993. Egg prices rose sharply and the index for fish and seafood turned back up in April. The index for pork in creased 0.6 percent, following seasonal adjustment, while poultry prices fell 0.4 percent. Each of these components, however, have risen at a faster rate thus far in 1993 than in 1992. Among other grocery store food groups, the index The Consumer Price Index for A ll Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.3 percent before seasonal adjustment in April to a level of 144.0 (1982-84=100). For the 12-month period ended in April, the CPI-U increased 3.2 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 0.4 percent in April prior to seasonal adjustment. The April 1993 CPI-W level of 141.6 was 3.1 percent higher than the index in April 1992. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.4 per cent in April, following an increase of 0.1 percent in March. Six of the seven major expenditure groups advanced more in April than in March. The food index, which increased 0.1 percent in March, advanced 0.4 percent in April, reflecting an upturn in fruit and vegetable prices and a large increase in the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs. Energy costs, on the other hand, rose less than in March with a decline in the gasoline index partially offsetting a rise in household fuel prices. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U advanced 0.4 percent in April after increasing 0.1 percent in March. The index for apparel and upkeep, which Table A.

The other tw o components of the food and beverage index —restau rant meals and alcoholic beverages —each rose 0.2 percent in April. The housing component increased 0.5 percent in April, following a 0.3-percent rise in March. Shelter costs, which rose 0.1 percent in March, advanced 0.5 percent in April. Within shelter, renters' costs increased 0.6 percent; home owners' costs, 0.4 percent; and maintenance and repair costs, 0.2 percent. The index for household furnishings and operation also rose more than in March, increasing 0.4 percent in April. The index for household fuels and other utilities, however, rose less than in the preceding month, advancing 0.4 percent in April, following a 1.2-percent rise in March. Advances in each of the major fuel indexes — electricity, natural gas, and fuel oil —were less than in March. In addition, the index for other utilities turned down in April, reflecting a 0.5-percent decline in charges for telephone services. Transportation costs rose 0.2 percent in April, following a 0.1-percent rise in March. Increases in automobile prices were partially offset by declines in the indexes for motor fuels and public transportation. The new car index rose 0.5 percent, its largest increase since February 1991. Partially offsetting this advance was another decline in automobile finance charges—down 0.7 percent in April. These financ ing costs have risen only once in the past 25 months. The used car index rose 1.2 percent in April and has increased 9.2 percent during the past 12 months. The index for gasoline declined 0.7 percent. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, gaso line prices increased 1.1 percent.) Public transportation costs declined for the second consecutive month, reflecting April Compound annual rate 3 months ended April 1993 a 0.7-percent decrease in airline fares. After advancing sharply in the last quarter of 1992 and the first 2 months of 1993, airline fares have fallen in each of the past 2 months. The index for apparel and upkeep, which declined 0.5 percent in March after registering substantial increases in the first 2 months of the year, was unchanged in April. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, clothing prices rose 0.4 per cent in April.) Seasonally adjusted declines for most cloth ing items were largely offset by a 4.1-percent increase in jewelry prices. The medical care index, which rose 0.3 percent in March, advanced 0.6 percent in April to a level 6.0 percent above a year ago. The index for medical care commodi ties—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and med ical supplies —declined 0.2 percent. The index for medical care services, however, increased 0.7 percent, with the cost of professional services and hospital and related services up 0.4 and 1.2 percent, respectively. Entertainment costs increased 0.3 percent in April after rising 0.2 percent in March. Increased fees for most enter tainment services and a 1.1-percent rise in prices for news papers were largely responsible for the April advance. The index for other goods and services was the only major group to register a smaller increase in April than in March —0.5 percent compared with 0.6 percent. A slight decline in prices for personal care items coupled with smaller increases in most other groups were responsible for the slight moderation. CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.4 percent in April. 2 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 * Percent changes over 12-month spans are calculated from unadjusted data.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. 1 Foods, fuels, and several other items priced every month in all areas; most other goods and services priced as indicated: M - Every month. 1 - January, March, May, July, September, and November. 2 - February, April, June, August, October, and December. 2 Regions defined as the four Census regions.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. 1 Foods, fuels, and several other items priced every month in all areas; most other goods and services priced as indicated: M - Every month. 1 - January, March, May, July, September, and November. 2 - February, April, June, August, October, and December. 2 Regions defined as the four Census regions.

Data not adequate for publication. 94 Technical Notes Brief Explanation of the CPI The indexes measure price change from a designated reference date, 1982-84, which equals 100.0. An increase of 7 percent, for example, is shown as 107.0. 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 $100 in 1982-84 to $107. For further details see BLSHandbook o f Methods, BLS Bulletin 2414, September 1992 and The Consumer Price Index: 1987 Revision, BLS Report 736, January 1987. 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. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes C PI’s for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approxi mately 80 percent of the total population and (2), a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which covers 32 percent of the total population. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups 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 that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across the country from about 57,000 housing units and approximately 19,000 retail establishments—depart ment stores, supermarkets, hospitals, gasoline stations and other types of stores and services establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of food, fuel, and and a few other items are obtained every m onth 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. Some data, such as used car prices, are obtained from secondary sources. 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 com bined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also published by size of city, by region of country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 29 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. 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. Index Point Change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change 112.5 108.5 4.0 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hùndred Equals percent change 95 4.0 108.5 0.037 0.037 x 100 3.7 Energy Prices Approximate British Termal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated: Price are usually available for the U.S. city average, 28 large urban areas, and 16 areas reflecting the four Census region cross-classified by four population sizes. However, not all energy commodities and services are used in every area of the country. Fuel oil, for exmaple, is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South and West. Where no average price are available, the desig nation NA will also appear if the data sufficiency criteria have not been met in any given month. For example, if there are fewer than five usable fuel oil prices for a pub lished city or region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area will be published. All prices arer collected monthly by BLS representa tives in the urban area priced for the CPI. Prices for natural gas and electricity include fuel and purchased gas adjustments and all applicable taxes. Fuel oil and gasoline prices include applicable Federal, State, and local taxes. 1 therm = 100,000 BTU’s (U.S. Departm ent of Energy). 1 kwh = 3,412 BTU’S (Edison Electric Institute). 1 gallon # 2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTU’S (U.S. Departm ent of Energy). Food Prices In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are calculated each month at the national level and for the four Census geographic regions. As a result of changes in price collection methodology and sample sizes, average prices for individual cities cannot in general be produced. It is hoped however, that regional average prices will help satisfy the need for local area data. It should be noted that the average food prices in this report reflect variations in brand, quality, and size among geographic areas. Users of average food prices should be aware that these differences exist. Because a number of food commoditiates are not available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices will not appear in some months for some regions or for the U.S. city average. In other instances, sufficient prices may not be available due to temporary disruptions in supplies. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA will appear. When a price is not available from an individual store in any month, as estimated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. In cases where the proportion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price will not be published and NA will appear for that item in the table. Because of space limitations in the table, the description for each item is abbreviated. More detailed specifications are available from the BLS regional offices or from the Washington office upon request. Natural gas and electricity. N atural gas prices are reported in therms, which are a measure of heating value. Electricity prices are given in kilowatt hours (kwh). For both utility services, the consumption ranges specified in table P2 are the upper and lower limits of the bill sizes priced for the Consumer Price Index. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are calculated from bills priced within these ranges. It should be noted that bills priced for the CPI are not only for diffferent consumpation amount, but may also be calculated from different types of residential rate schedules. The average price per therm and per kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally suitable for use in place-to-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table P I) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Since heating and air-conditioning requirements vary by geographic location, climate, and weather conditions, it cannot be inferred that these consumption amounts represent those used by a typical residential consumer. These bills are used merely to track price changes over time for constant amounts of consumption, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised Consumer Price Index. Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging Effects Beginning with January 1988 CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjust the monthly C PI shelter indexes for the change in quality resulting from the effect of aging on rental housing. In January 1987, the Bureau announced its intention to begin making such adjustments, assuming that further research substantiated the need to do so. The decision to implement the adjustment was based on exten sive BLS research, in which alternative adjustment methods were explored and tested. Evaluation of the research indicates that an aging effect exists, and that the Fuel oil. Only # 2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than one gallon. These prices are converted to a gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity an d /o r quick payment. Gasoline. Gasoline prices are collected at the pump from a sample of full service, mini-service, and self-serve gas stations. 96 chosen method is operationally feasible.1The adjustment affect C PI shelter indexes, which would have been raised by 0.2 percent for the year 1987 had an aging adjustment been applied. The quality of housing unit decreases as the unit ages. Existing BLS methods are used to correct for relatively easily measured quality changes such as the addition of an extra bedroom, but such methods are inadequate to cor rect for deterioration in the condition of housing unit.2 The aging adjustment method was specifically designed to correct for quality changes associated with this deterio ration. The BLS used hedonic regression methods to estimate the aging effect. The estimates were then used to correct the CPI rent and rental equivalence indexes. Hedonic regressions are statis tical functions that relate the price of a good to its attributes or characteristics. For example, a hedonic regression re lates a housing unit’s rent to its size, age, location, etc. By using BLS housing survey data from 1987 and Census data from 1980, hedonic regression methods provided estimates of the relationship betweeen a housing unit’s rent and age while other housing unit characteristics were held con stant. The estimated relationship was then used to con struct the aging adjustment. Estimates will be recomputed annually by using the previous year’s BLS housing survey data and the most recently available Census data. purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation. In most cases, seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X -llA R IM A Seasonal Adjustment Method. The updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subsequent annual updates have replaced 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data from 1987 through 1991 were replaced at the end of 1991. The seasonal movement of all items and 47 other aggregations is derived by combin ing the seasonal movement of 60 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 60 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally ad justed to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years, but the seasonally ad justed indexes will be used before that period. Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for 1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has used an enhanced seasonal adjustment procedure called intervention analysis in conjunction with X -l 1-ARIMA for some CPI series. Intervention analysis allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values an d /o r sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern are removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors in X -l 1-ARIMA. Seasonally Adjusted and For the fuel oil and the m otor fuels indexes, this proce Unadjusted Data dure was used to offset the effects that extreme price volatil ity would otherwise have had on the estimates of seasonally adjusted data for those series.
