Price Movements
December 1984
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPi-U) increased 0.1 percent prior to seasonal adjustment. The December level of 315.5 (1967 = 100) was 4.0
percent higher than the index in December 1983.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPi-W) rose 0.1 percent in
December, before seasonal adjustment, to a level of
312.2 (1967=100). For the 12-month period ended in
December, the CPi-wincreased 3.5 percent. The CPi-wis
used for indexing Social Security and some other
Federal payments. It is also commonly used as an
escalator in collective bargaining agreements.
ferent. In particular, the moderation has become more
broadly based in each successive year. Declines in
energy commodities—motor fuel, fuel oil, coal, and
bottled gas—and small increases in grocery store foods
and shelter had been largely responsible for reducing the
1982 all items increase to 3.9 percent. All other items in
the CPI, however, posted an average increase of 6.6 percent in 1982. By 1984, energy commodity prices were
declining more slowly (down 1.9 percent) and increases
for shelter (up 5.2 percent) and grocery store foods (up
3.6 percent) were somewhat larger than in 1982. The
average increase during 1984 for all other items,
however, was lowered to only 4.3 percent.
The food and beverage component registered a 0.3
percent increase in December. Grocery store food prices
rose 0.2 percent, slightly more than in November. A
1.2-percent increase in the index for meats, poultry,
fish, and eggs more than offset a 1.9-percent decline in
fruit and vegetable prices. Beef and pork prices advanced substantially more than in recent months, while
poultry prices turned up in December. Beef and pork
prices, which declined in 1983, rose 3.8 and 6.0 percent,
respectively, in 1984. Poultry prices, however, rose only
1.9 percent in 1984 after increasing 10.2 percent in 1983.
A sharp decline in fresh vegetable prices in
December—down 6.7 percent—more than offset small
increases in prices for fresh fruits and processed fruits
and vegetables. During the past 12 months, fresh
vegetable prices declined 6.9 percent, while prices for
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally
adjusted changes
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for All Urban
Consumers rose 0.2 percent in December, the same as in
November. The behavior of each of the major groups
was also generally the same in both months, with apparel prices declining in each, and the other major
groups registering moderate increases.
For the 12-month period ended in December, the CPI-U
advanced 4.0 percent. This compares with calendar year
increases (December-December) of 3.9 percent in 1982
and 3.8 percent in 1983 and continues the relatively
moderate pattern of price movement evident since the
slowdown in prices began in the fourth quarter of 1981.
While the overall increases in the past 3 years have been
virtually the same, the composition of each has been difTable A. Percent changes in CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)

fresh fruits, reflecting the effects of the late 1983 freeze,
rose 22.6 percent. Among the other grocery store food
groups, prices for cereal and bakery and dairy products
rose 0.6 and 0.5 percent, respectively, in December. The
other two components of the food and beverage component—restaurant
meals
and alcoholic
beverages—rose 0.6 and 0.4 percent, respectively.
The housing component rose 0.1 percent in
December, following a 0.3-percent increase in
November. The index for fuel and other utilities, which
had registered a small increase in November, declined
0.4 percent in December and was responsible for the
slowdown. Fuel oil prices, which declined slightly in
November, decreased 1.3 percent. Charges for electricity declined 0.5 percent after advancing in November.
On the other hand, charges for natural gas were unchanged, following declines in each of the preceding 3
months. The index for household fuels increased 2.7
percent in the 12 months ended in December; fuel oil
prices were unchanged, while charges for natural gas
rose 0.8 percent and charges for electricity increased
5.6 percent. Among other utilities, the cost of telephone
service, reflecting decreases in local charges and intrastate toll calls, declined 0.4 percent in December.
Despite this drop, the cost of telephone services advanced 9.2 percent in 1984, with a 17.1-percent increase in
local charges. The other two major housing groupsshelter and household furnishings and operations—both
recorded the same increase in December as in the
preceding 2 months. Shelter costs rose 0.4 percent, with
renters' costs advancing 0.5 percent, homeowners' costs
0.4 percent, and maintenance and repair costs 0.4 percent. The index for household furnishings and operations rose 0.1 percent.
The transportation index rose 0.1 percent in
December, the same as in November. Gasoline prices,
which had increased in each of the 3 preceding months,
decreased 0.7 percent in December. Over the past 12
months, gasoline prices have dropped 2.5 percent and
are now 13.2 percent below their peak level of March
1981. On the other hand, new and used car prices, which

had declined in November, increased 0.2 and 0.4 percent, respectively, in December. In the 12-month period
ended in December, new car prices increased 2.4 percent
and used car prices advanced 7.0 percent. Among other
automobile expenses, automobile finance charges
declined 0.8 percent in December, the first drop in 9
months. These charges rose 6.8 percent in 1984 after
declining 7.9 percent in 1983. The index for automobile
insurance—up 1.2 percent—rose substantially for the
third consecutive month and is 7.9 percent above its
level a year ago. The index for public transportation
rose 0.3 percent in December, reflecting increases in intercity bus and train fares of 1.9 and 1.2 percent, respectively.
The medical care component rose 0.3 percent in
December. The index for medical care commodities—prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs,
and medical supplies—advanced 0.8 percent in
December and 7.6 percent over the past 12 months. The
cost of medical care services rose 0.2 percent, with professional services and hospital rooms up 0.3 and 0.1 percent, respectively. The 6.3-percent increase in professional services in 1984 compares with a 7.6-percent rise
in 1983. The over-the-year increase of 7.4 percent in
hospital rooms was the smallest December-to-December
rise since 1973.
The index for app>arel and upkeep—down 0.3 percent
in December—declined for the second consecutive
month. Widespread sale prices, particularly for
women's and girls' clothing, were only partially offset
by a 0.3 percent increase in charges for apparel services.
The entertainment and other goods and services components rose 0.5 and 0.4 percent, respectively, in
December, about the same as in recent months.
CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
(CPI-W)—seasonally adjusted changes
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical WTorkers rose 0.2 percent in
December, the same as in the CPI-U. In the CPI-U, the
of these areas—Northeast Pennsylvania (ScrantonWilkes-Barre).
Of the remaining 27 published urban areas, 13 will
have a reduction in frequency beginning in 1987. The index for Detroit, currently published monthly, will be
published every other month. Twelve areas now
published bimonthly will be compiled on a semiannual
average basis. These areas are: Buffalo-Niagara Falls,
NY; Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN; Kansas City,
MO-Kansas City, KS; Milwaukee, WI; MinneapolisGA; Anchorage, AK; Denver-Boulder, CO; Honolulu,
HI; Portland-Vancouver, OR-WA; San Diego, CA; and
Seattle-Tacoma, WA. Also, the Cleveland-AkronLorain, OH, indexes will be published in evennumbered rather then odd-numbered months.
Further details are available from BLS.
homeowners' cost index—which uses a rental
equivalence approach—rose 0.4 percent in December.
Homeownership in the CPi-w, which is based on house
prices, mortgage interest rates, property taxes, property
insurance, and maintenance and repair costs, also advanced 0.4 percent in December, reflecting small-tomoderate increases in all components.
Changes in frequency of publication for local
area CPI's to begin in 1987
The Bureau of Labor Statistics will improve the sample of urban areas in which it gathers prices for monthly
preparation of the Consumer Price Index beginning in
1987. At the same time, the Bureau will publish a
number of local area CPI's less frequently.
The changes in publication frequency arise from the
requirement to allocate the sample to reflect population
shifts in the 1980 Census so as to provide the most accurate national CPI possible with the funds available. As
a result, some local areas will no longer have samples
sufficient to permit more frequent publication.
In addition to the national index for all cities, the
Bureau now publishes indexes for 28 urban areas. In
1987, it will continue to publish indexes for all but one
Homeownership changes
As announced in October 1981, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics will change the treatment of homeownership
costs in the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers (CPi-W) effective with release of data for
January 1985. See the last page of the Technical Notes
for additional detail.

Revised.
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.

Revised.
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
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.
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 from the Statistical
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).
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 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
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
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.

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 also are 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 in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-11-ARIMA
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 1979 through 1983
were replaced at the end of 1983. The seasonal movement of all items and 44 other aggregations is derived by
combining the seasonal movement of 51 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is
reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any
of the 51 components change their seasonal adjustment
status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used for the
last five years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will
be used before that period. If any of the 51 components
c h a n g e t h e i r s t a t u s from not s e a s o n a l l y
adjusted to seasonally adjusted, seasonally adjusted
data will be used for the last five years, but not seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period.
Homeownership Changes
Effective with data for January 1985, the Consumer
Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers (CPi-W) will be changed to incorporate a rental
equivalence measure of homeownership costs. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics announced plans to change
the treatment of homeownership costs on October 27,
1981. Effective with release of the index for January
1983, the BLS changed the way homeowner costs are
measured in the CPI for All Urban Consumers (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
with the CPI-U, the new homeownership component will
be introduced into the CPIAV in such a manner that the
indexes using the old and new methodologies will be
equal in the so-called link month—December 1984 for
the CPI-W. This technical procedure has also 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 after the change in the official
indexes, calculations based on the current treatment of
homeownership. In the case of the CPI-W, the overlap
period will run from January to June 1985.
Seasonally Adjusted and
Unadjusted Data
Because price data are used for different purposes by
different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
