For the 12month period ended in August, the CPI-U increased 2.9 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 0.5 percent in August, prior to seasonal adjustment. The August 1994 CPI-W level of 146.5 was 2.9 percent higher than the index in August 1993. index increased at an annual rate of 2.0 percent and energy costs at a 4.8-percent rate. The year-to-date annual rate for the index for all items less food and energy thus far in 1994 was 2.9 percent. This follows a 3.2-percent increase in all of 1993 and continues the moderating pattern evident in this component since 1990. The food and beverage index rose 0.3 percent in August. Grocery store food prices increased 0.6 percent, following a 0.8-percent advance in July. Over 90 percent of the Au gust advance was the result of another sharp increase in coffee prices, which rose 22.0 percent in August after in creasing a record 22.4 percent in July. The index for fruits and vegetables continued to advance, but by substantially less than in recent months. This index rose 0.3 percent in August, following an increase of 6.5 percent in the preced ing 3-month period. The index for fresh fruits rose 3.4 per cent, more than offsetting declines in the indexes for fresh vegetables and for processed fruits and vegetables. Partially offsetting the moderation in the fruit and vegetable index was an upturn in the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs. Meat prices, which had declined in each of the 3 pre ceding months, rose 0.4 percent in August. The indexes for beef and pork each rose 0.4 percent, while poultry prices fell 1.7 percent. The index for cereal and bakery products increased 0.4 percent, while the index for dairy products C P I f o r A ll U r b a n C o n s u m e r s (C P I-U ) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.3 per cent in August, the same as in each of the 2 preceding months. The food and energy indexes rose again in August, but by less they had than in July. Coffee prices advanced sharply for the second consecutive month—up 22 percent in August—and accounted for over four-fifths of the 0.4 percent rise in the food index. The 1.4 percent rise in en ergy costs was due almost entirely to a sharp rise in gaso line prices. The CPI-U excluding food and energy rose 0.3 percent in August, following a 0.2-percent increase in July. During the first 8 months of 1994, the CPI-U rose at a 2.9-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate. This compares with an increase of 2.7 percent in all of 1993. The food Table A.

The other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic bever ages—rose 0.1 percent and fell 0.2 percent, respectively. The housing component, which rose 0.2 percent in July, increased 0.3 percent in August. Shelter costs increased 0.4 percent, following a 0.3-percent rise in July. Within shelter, renters’ costs increased 0.5 percent and homeowners’ costs, 0.4 percent, while maintenance and repair costs fell 0.1 percent. The index for fuel and other utilities rose 0.2 per cent in August, the same as in July. The index for house hold fuels rose 0.2 percent, as increases in the indexes for fuel oil and electricity—up 0.1 and 0.3 percent, respec tively— more than offset a 0.1-percent decline in the index for natural gas. The index for other utilities and public ser vices increased 0.1 percent in August. Within that group, small increases in charges for telephone services, water and sewerage maintenance, and refuse collection were partially offset by a decline in charges for cable television. The lat ter index fell 0.6 percent in August and last registered a monthly increase in February. The index for household fur nishings and operation increased 0.2 percent in August, fol lowing no change in July. Transportation costs rose 1.0 percent in August, the same as in July, largely as a result of another sharp increase in the index for motor fuels. The index for gasoline rose 3.7 percent in August and has increased 7.8 percent in the past 3 months. Increases in automobile purchase costs and pub lic transportation costs also contributed to the August trans portation advance. The index for new vehicles rose 0.3 per cent in August and has advanced at a 4.6-percent season ally adjusted annual rate thus far in 1994. Automobile fi nance charges continued to increase, albeit by substantially less than in recent months. This index rose 0.5 percent in August after advancing 11.7 percent in the preceding 4 months. The index for used cars rose 0.8 percent. The in June Compound annual rate, 3 months ended August 1994 -.2 3.4 dex for public transportation increased 1.8 percent, princi pally reflecting a 2.3-percent rise in airline fares. The index for apparel and upkeep declined for the sec ond consecutive month, down 1.0 percent in August after falling 0.4 percent in July. The August decline reflects endof-season sales of spring-summer wear, coupled with smaller than usual price increases on newly introduced fallwinter wear. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, prices for ap parel and upkeep rose 0.2 percent in August, following de clines in each of the 3 preceding months.) Medical care costs rose 0.4 percent in August, the same as in each of the 3 preceding months, to a level 4.6 percent above a year earlier. The index for medical care commodi ties—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medi cal supplies—rose 0.3 percent in August. The index for medical care services rose 0.4 percent in August. Charges for professional services and hospital and related services each increased 0.4 percent. The entertainment index was unchanged in August, fol lowing a 0.3-percent increase in July. Declines in fees for participant sports and club memberships and in prices for sporting goods and equipment offset small price increases in the indexes for reading materials, for admissions to mov ies, theaters, concerts, and sporting events, and for fees for lessons or instructions. The index for other goods and services rose 0.2 percent in August after advancing 0.4 percent in July. Smaller in creases in the indexes for tobacco and smoking products and for personal and educational expenses—up 0.1 and 0.3 percent, respectively, in August—were responsible for the moderation.

The following metropolitan areas are published annually and appear in tables 16A and 23A of the January issue of the CPI Detailed Report: New Orleans, LA and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. Data not available. 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. 33 Table 11.

Data not available. 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. 48 Table 18.

Data not adequate for publication. 91 Technical Notes B r ie f E x p la n a tio n o f th e The indexes measure price change from a designated ref erence date, usually 1982-84, which equals 100.0. An in crease 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 BLS Handbook of Methods, BLS Bulletin 2414, September 1992. C P I 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 CPI’s for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80 percent of the total population and (2), a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which covers 32 per cent of the total population. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as profes sional, managerial, and technical workers, the selfemployed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees and others not in the labor force. The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors’ and dentists’ services, medicine, 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—department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, gasoline stations and other types of stores and services establishments. All taxes direct ly 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 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 either personal visits or telephone calls from 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 ap propriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also pub lished 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. C a lc u la tin g In d e x C h a n g e s 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 per cent 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 in dicate 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 hundred Equals percent change 92 4.0 108.5 0.037 0.037 x 100 3.7 E n e rg y Natural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are reported in therms, which are a measure of heating value. Electricity prices are given in kilowatt hours (kwh). For both utility ser vices, the consumption ranges specified in table P2 are the upper and -lower limits of the bill sizes priced for the Con sumer 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 different consumption amounts, but may also be cal culated 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 PI) 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 con sumption amounts represent those used by a typical residen P r ic e s Prices are usually available for the U.S. city average, 15 large metropolitan areas, the four census regions, four size classifications, and 13 areas reflecting the four Census re gions cross-classified by the four population sizes. However, not all energy commodities and services are used in every area of the country. Fuel oil, for example, is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South and West. Where no average prices are available, the desig nation NA appears. This designation also appears 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 published city or region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area will be published. All prices are collected monthly by BLS representatives in the urban areas 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. C e n s u s R e g io n s 93 change in quality resulting from the effect of aging on rental housing. In January 1987, the Bureau announced its inten tion to begin making such adjustments, assuming that fur ther research substantiated the need to do so. The decision to implement the adjustment was based on extensive BLS re search, in which alternative adjustment methods were ex plored and tested. Evaluation of the research indicates that an aging effect exists, and that the chosen method is opera tionally feasible.1The adjustment affect CPI 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. Ex isting 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 correct for de terioration in the condition of housing unit.2 The aging adjustment method was specifically designed to correct for quality changes associated with this deteriora tion. 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 statisti cal functions that relate the price of a good to its attributes or characteristics. For example, a hedonic regression relates 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 between a housing unit’s rent and age while oth er housing unit characteristics were held constant. The esti mated relationship was then used to construct the aging ad justment. Estimates will be recomputed annually by using the previous year’s BLS housing survey data and the most recently available Census data. tial 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 electric ity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised Consumer Price Index. 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 and/or quick payment. Gasoline. Gasoline prices are collected at the pump from a sample of full service, mini-service, and self-serve gas stations. Approximate British Termal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated: 1 therm = 100,000 BTU’s (U.S. Department of Energy). 1 kwh = 3,412 BTU’S (Edison Electric Institute). 1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTU’S (U.S. Department of Energy). F o o d P r ic e s In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are cal culated each month at the national level and for the four Cen sus 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 prices for food in this report reflect variations in brand, qual ity, and size among geographic areas. Users of average food prices should be aware that these differences exist. Because a number of food commodities 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 appears. 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 pro portion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price is not published and NA appears 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.

E ffe c ts Beginning with January 1988 CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjusts the monthly CPI shelter indexes for the D a ta Because price data are used for different purposes by differ ent groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes season ally 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. A d ju s t m e n t o f S h e lte r In d e x e s f o r A g in g a n d 94 The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data also are used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consum er Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation. In most cases, seasonal factors used in computing the sea sonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X -ll- ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Method. The updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subse quent annual updates have replaced 5 years of seasonal data, for example, 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 combining the seasonal movement of 60 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statis tical criteria. Occasionally, a component changes its seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted. When this occurs, not seasonally adjusted data are used for the last 5 years, but before that period the seasonally adjusted indexes remain in calculations of higher-level sea sonally adjusted indexes. 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-ll-ARIMA for some CPI series. In tervention analysis allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern are removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors in X-11-ARIMA. For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this procedure was used to offset the effects that extreme price volatility would otherwise have had on the estimates of seasonally ad justed data for those series. For some women’s apparel in dexes and the girls’ apparel index, the procedure was used to offset the effects of changes in pricing methodology; and for new cars, new trucks, and new vehicles, this procedure was used to offset the effects of changes in marketing strate gies and the introduction of new models. For the tobacco and smoking products index, this procedure was used to offset the effects of increases in excise taxes and wholesale tobacco prices. For some alcoholic beverage series, intervention was used to offset the effects of excise tax increases. An alternative to the intervention-adjusted X-llARIMA procedure is the state space model-based seasonal adjustment method. This method adjusts simultaneously for interventions and seasonal effects, rather than sequentially as in the X-ll-ARIMA methodology, using structural statis tical models with explanatory variables. The state space structural model-based method of seasonal adjustment was introduced in 1992 for the adjustment of January 1991December 1991 indexes for three women’s apparel series: Dresses, separates and sportswear, and suits. A description of intervention analysis, including a list of 95 events treated as interventions and the seasonal factors for these items may be obtained by writing the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Room 3615, Washington, DC 20212-0001 or by calling Claire McAnaw at (202) 606-6968. M e tr o p o lita n A re a s BLS publishes five major metropolitan areas monthly: Chicago-Gary-Lake County, IL -IN -W I Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside, CA New York-Northern NJ-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT Philadelphia-Wilmington-Trenton PA-NJ-DE-MD San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA Data for additional 10 metropolitan areas are published every other month [on an odd (January, March, etc.) or even (February, April etc.) month schedule] for the following areas: -odd -odd -odd -even -even -even -odd -even -odd -odd Baltimore, M D Boston-Lawrence— Salem, M A -N H Cleveland-Akron— Lorain, OH Dallas-Fort Worth, T X Detroit-Ann Arbor, M I Houston, T X Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley, PA St. Louis-East St. Louis, M O -IL Washington, DC-M D -VA (Note: The designation even or odd refers to the month during which the area’s price change is measured. Due to the time needed for processing, data are released 2 to 3 weeks in to the following month.) Data are published for another group of 12 metropolitan areas on a semiannual basis. These indexes, which refer to the arithmetic average for the 6-month periods from January through June and July through December, are published with release of the CPI for July and January, respectively, in Au gust and February for: Anchorage, A K Atlanta, GA Buffalo-Niagara Falls, N Y Cincinnati-Hamilton, O H-KY-IN Denver-Boulder, CO Kansas City, MO-KS Milwaukee, W I Minneapolis-St. Paul M N -W I Portland-Vancouver, OR-WA San Diego, CA Honolulu, H I Seattle-Tacoma, WA Finally, BLS recently began publication of CPI’s for two metropolitan areas on an annual basis. These indexes repre sent the arithmetic averages for the 12-monthly period from January through December of each year. They are published with the release of the CPI for January, i.e., in February. These areas are: New Orleans, L A Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, F L C P I o n E le c tr o n ic B u lle tin A limited amount of CPI information is currently avail able via the Department of Labor’s electronic bulletin board system (BBS).
