This compares with an increase o f 2.7 percent in 1994 and was the fourth consecutive year in which the rise has been less than 3.0 percent. In 1995, as throughout m ost o f this 4-year period, the food and energy com ponents have acted as moderating influences on con sumer price m ovem ents. The food index rose 2.1 percent in 1995, with a downturn in prices for fresh fruits and veg etables partially offsetting an upturn in the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs. Fresh fruit and vegetable prices fell 3.1 percent in 1995, follow ing an 11.9-percent increase in 1994. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, which declined slightly in 1994, rose 4.1 percent in 1995. The en ergy index turned dow n in 1995, declining 1.3 percent. Petroleum-based energy costs fell 3.3 percent, more than offsetting a 0.8-percent rise in charges for energy services. The CPI-U excluding food and energy, w hich had decel erated each year from 1991 through 1994, advanced slightly more in 1995 than in the preceding year. The 3.0 percent rise in 1995 follow ed an increase o f 2.6 percent in 1994. N evertheless, the 1995 advance w as only the third time in the last 30 years in w hich this index rose 3.0 percent or less. The slightly larger increase in 1995 reflects a som ewhat The Consum er Price Index for A ll Urban Consum ers (CPI-U) declined 0.1 percent before seasonal adjustment in Decem ber to a level o f 153.5 (1982-84= 100). For the 12month period ended in Decem ber, the CPI-U increased 2.5 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) was unchanged in D ecem ber, prior to season al adjustm ent. The D ecem b er 1995 CPI-W level o f 150.9 was 2.5 percent higher than the index in Decem ber 1994. CPI fo r A ll U rb a n C o n s u m e r s (C PI-U ) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.2 per cent in Decem ber. The energy index, w hich declined 0.9 percent in Novem ber, increased 1.2 percent in D ecem ber and accounted for over 80 percent o f the acceleration in the overall CPI-U. The index for motor fuels rose 2.5 percent in December, follow ing a 2.2-percent drop in November. The food index also turned up in December, increasing 0.1 per cent after declining 0.1 percent in November. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U registered its second consecutive monthly increase o f 0.1 percent. Within this group, the in dexes for com m odities less food and energy and for ser vices less energy each increased 0.1 percent in December. Table A.

The rates for selected groups during the past 9 years are shown in table Q4. The food and beverages index rose 0.1 percent in D e cember. Grocery store food prices also increased 0.1 per cent in December, bringing their level to a point 2.0 per cent above the preceding year. In December, increases in m ost major grocery store food groups were largely offset by a 1.5-percent decline in the index for fruits and veg etables. The index for fresh fruits and vegetables fell 2.1 percent in D ecem ber and was 3.1 percent low er than in D ecem ber 1994. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs rose 0.4 percent in December, largely as a result o f a sharp increase in egg prices. The index for egg prices in creased 7.4 percent in D ecem ber and has risen 25.0 per cent in the last 12 months. B e e f prices fell 0.4 percent in D ecem ber and are at virtually the sam e level as a year earlier. The index for pork increased 1.1 percent in D e cember to a level 7.3 percent above a year ago. Poultry prices were unchanged in December, but have risen 4.2 percent during the last 12 months. The indexes for cereal and bakery products and dairy products increased 0.2 and 1.1 percent, respectively, in D ecem ber and 3.2 and 2.6 percent, during 1995. The other tw o com ponents o f the food and beverage index— restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages— increased 0.1 and declined 0.1 percent, re spectively, in December. During the previous 12 months, these groups rose 2.2 and 2.0 percent, respectively. The housing com ponent rose 0.3 percent in December, follow ing a 0.1-percent increase in November. Shelter costs rose 0.2 percent in Decem ber, the sam e as in November. Within shelter, renters’ costs rose 0.1 percent and hom e ow ners’ costs and maintenance and repair costs each in creased 0.3 percent. Shelter costs advanced 3.5 percent in the 12 months ended in D ecem ber 1995, follow ing a 3.0-per cent increase in 1994. The index for fuel and utilities rose 0.2 percent in December, the sam e as in November. The index for household fuels rose 0.1 percent as increases o f 1.8 per cent each in the indexes for fuel oil and natural gas more than offset a 0.7-percent decline in the index for electricity. For the 12 months ended in December, charges for natural gas fell 3.6 percent, w hile those for electricity rose 2.7 percent. In December, the index for other utilities and public services rose 0 .2 percent, primarily as a result o f a 1.9-percent in crease in interstate telephone toll calls. The index for house hold furnishings and operation rose 0.4 percent in December, reflecting, in part, a 1.1-percent increase in the index for furniture and bedding. The transportation index, which had declined in 4 o f the 5 preceding months, was unchanged in December. The index for gasoline advanced for the first time in 6 months— up 2.4 percent in Decem ber— after decreasing 9.0 percent during the 5 preceding months. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices were unchanged in Decem ber.) The sharp upturn in the gasoline index was partially offset by a record decline in air line fares— down 8.5 percent in December. Decreases in air line fares during the second half o f 1995 largely offset the substantial increases recorded during the first h alf o f the year, resulting in a 1.8-percent increase during the 12 months ended in December. N ew vehicle purchase costs also decreased in Decem ber as the index for new vehicle prices declined 0.1 percent and automobile finance charges fell 1.0 percent. In all o f 1995, new v eh icle prices increased 1.9 percent and automobile finance charges rose 2.0 percent. The index for used cars rose 1.4 percent in D ecem ber and 4 .4 percent dur ing the past year. The index for apparel and upkeep increased 0.1 percent Table Q4.

In January, the scheduled collection o f con sumer price data would have begun on January 2 and con cluded on January 26. The revised schedule allow ed for pric ing through Jannuary 31. N o data were collected prior to the reopening o f the Government on January 8, and much o f the collection could not begin until January pricing schedules were transmitted from Washington, DC, to BLS field offices. Additional delays were caused by the blizzard that forced the closing o f many retail outlets and BLS offices during the w eek o f January 8. Therefore, m ost January price collec tion took place between January 15 and January 31. The shutdown w ill have a relatively minor effect on the collection o f consumer price data in February, and the CPI for February is expected to be released as originally sched uled on March 15. Decem ber 1995, originally scheduled for release on Janu ary 12, was rescheduled for release on February 1. Price data collection in December, w hich was originally sched uled to conclude on Decem ber 21, was suspended on D e cember 18,1995 as a result o f the Federal Government shut down. In anticipation o f a p ossib le shutdown, BLS had m odified the D ecem ber pricing schedule to allow for col lection earlier than normal. This resulted in virtually com plete pricing for the D ecem ber index; the number o f price quotes collected and used in the CPI for Decem ber 1995 was approximately 98 percent o f the corresponding num ber for D ecem ber 1994. The shutdown also affected the collection and release o f the January 1996 CPI. The January index, originally sched uled for release on February 14, w ill now be released on 5 Table 1.

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, LAand 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. 35 Table 11.

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. 50 Table 18.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes CPI’s for two population groups: (1) a CPI for A ll 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. A ll 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. 95 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 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.

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 b ill 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 E n e rg y P ric 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 w ill be published. A ll 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 96 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 w ill 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 ric 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 w ill 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 w ill 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 w ill 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. S e a s o n a lly A d ju s te d a n d U n a d ju s te d 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. 1A complete technical presentation of BLS research on this subject is available in William C. Randolph, “Housing Depreciation and Aging Bias in the Consumer Price Index,” BLS Worldng Paper No. 166, April 1987, and Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, Vol. 6, No. 3, July 1988, pp. 359-71 and in William C. Randolph, “Estimation of Housing De preciation: Short Term Quality Change and Long Term Vintage Effects,” BLS Working Paper No. 160, April 1986, and Journal of Urban Econom ics, Vol. 23, March 1988,162-78. These papers are available from the BLS on request. 2 For detail on existing quality adjustment methods, see BLS Handbook of Methods, chapter 19 (BLS Bulletin 2414). A d ju s tm e n t o f S h e lte r In d e x e s fo r A g in g E ffe c ts Beginning with January 1988 CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjusts the monthly CPI shelter indexes for the 97 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 -11- 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 -11-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 -11-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.

M e tro p o lita n A re a s BLS publishes five major metropolitan areas monthly: Chicago-Gary-Lake County, IL-IN-WI 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: Baltimore, MD Boston-Lawrence—Salem, MA-NH Cleveland-Akron—Lorain, OH Dallas-Fort Worth, TX Detroit-Ann Arbor, MI Houston, TX Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley, PA St. Louis-East St. Louis, MO-IL Washington, DC-MD-VA -odd -odd -odd -even -even -even -odd -even -odd -odd (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, AK Atlanta, GA Buffalo-Niagara Falls, NY Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN Denver-Boulder, CO Honolulu, HI Kansas City, MO-KS Milwaukee, WI Minneapolis-St. Paul MN-WI Portland-Vancouver, OR-WA San Diego, CA 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.
