Scheduled release dates Consumer Price Index data are scheduled for initial release on the following dates: Index month Release date Index month Release date March April May April 17 May 22 June 18 June July August July 17 August 19 September 16 ii CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS FEBRUARY 2015 The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent in February on a seasonally adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index was unchanged before seasonal adjustment. The seasonally adjusted increase in the all items index was broad-based, with increases in shelter, energy, and food indexes all contributing. The energy index rose after a long series of declines, increasing 1.0 percent as the gasoline index turned up after falling in recent months. The food index, unchanged last month, also rose in February, though major grocery store food group indexes were mixed. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in February, the same increase as in January. In addition to shelter, the indexes for used cars and trucks, apparel, new vehicles, tobacco, and airline fares were among those that increased. The medical care index was unchanged, while the personal care index declined. The all items index was unchanged over the past 12 months, after showing a 0.1-percent decline for the 12 months ending January. Over the last 12 months the food index rose 3.0 percent and the index for all items less food and energy increased 1.7 percent. These increases were offset by an 18.8-percent decline in the energy index. Consumer Price Index Data for February 2015 Food The food index increased 0.2 percent in February. The index for food at home, which declined in January, rose 0.1 percent in February. Major grocery store food group indexes were split, with three increases and three declines. The index for nonalcoholic beverages increased 0.6 percent in February, its largest increase since September 2012. The index for other food at home, which declined in January, rose 0.5 percent in February. Also turning up in February was the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, which rose 0.3 percent after declining slightly the prior month. The index for beef and veal rose 0.7 percent, its thirteenth consecutive increase. In contrast to these increases, the index for dairy and related products continued to fall, declining 1.0 percent after a 0.9-percent decrease the previous month. The index for fruits and vegetables declined 0.3 percent; the fresh fruits index rose 0.6 percent but the index for fresh vegetables declined 2.0 percent. The index for cereals and bakery products, which rose in January, declined 0.2 percent in February. 1 CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 The index for food at home has risen 2.9 percent over the past year, with all six of the major grocery store food group indexes increasing over the span. The index for food away from home increased 0.3 percent in February and has risen 3.1 percent over the last 12 months. Energy The energy index rose 1.0 percent in February, ending a series of seven consecutive declines. The gasoline index turned up after a series of sharp declines, rising 2.4 percent. (Before seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices rose 5.3 percent in February.) The fuel oil index also increased after recent declines, rising 1.9 percent. The electricity index rose 0.3 percent in February after a 0.9-percent increase in January. The only major energy component index to fall in February was natural gas, which declined 2.0 percent following a 3.4-percent decrease the prior month. Despite the February increases, the gasoline and fuel oil indexes have declined sharply over the past year, falling 32.8 percent and 31.2 percent, respectively. The index for natural gas has also declined over the past year, falling 6.5 percent, but the electricity index has increased 3.2 percent. All items less food and energy The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.2 percent in February. The shelter index increased 0.2 percent and accounted for about two-thirds of the monthly increase in the all items less food and energy index. The index for rent increased 0.3 percent, while the index for owners' equivalent rent rose 0.2 percent. The index for lodging away from home declined 0.5 percent after rising in January. The index for used cars and trucks turned up in February, rising 1.0 percent after declining in each of the four previous months. The apparel index rose 0.3 percent in February, the same increase as in January. The index for new vehicles advanced 0.2 percent, as did the index for airline fares, while the tobacco index rose 0.5 percent. The index for medical care was unchanged in February. The index for medical care commodities rose 0.7 percent, as the index for prescription drugs increased 0.6 percent. However, the index for medical care services declined 0.2 percent, its first decline since November 1975. The indexes for physicians' services and hospital services both decreased. The index for personal care, which rose in January, fell 0.4 percent in February. The index for all items less food and energy has risen 1.7 percent over the past 12 months. The 12-month change has remained in a range of 1.6 percent to 2.3 percent since June 2011. Indexes that have risen over the past 12 months include shelter, medical care, and new vehicles. Among the indexes that have declined are those for airline fares, used cars and trucks, and apparel. Not seasonally adjusted CPI measures The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was virtually unchanged over the last 12 months; the February 2015 index level was 234.722 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index rose 0.4 percent prior to seasonal adjustment. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) decreased 0.6 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 229.421 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index rose 0.5 percent prior to seasonal adjustment. The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) decreased 0.5 percent over the last 12 months. For the month, the index rose 0.5 percent on a not seasonally adjusted basis. Please note that the indexes for the past 10 to 12 months are subject to revision. The Consumer Price Index for March 2015 is scheduled to be released on Friday, April 17, 2015, at 8:30 a.m. (EDT). 2 CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 CPI-U 12-Month Changes, 2005 to Present Percent Percent 6 6 5 5 All Items 4 4 3 3 2 2 1 1 0 0 -1 -2 -3 2005 -1 All Items Less Food and Energy -2 -3 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 3 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 Variance Estimates for Price Changes in the Consumer Price Index January–December 2014 Owen J. Shoemaker This article presents variance estimates for 1-month, 2-month, 6-month, and 12-month percent changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). Variance is a measure of the uncertainty caused by the use of a sample of retail prices, instead of the complete universe of retail prices. The estimates cover the period January 2014 through December 2014. Each month the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics collects prices from a sample of approximately 80,900 commodities and services (C&S) quotes in approximately 23,700 outlets 1 around the United States for the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The most commonly used measure of sampling variability is the standard error of the estimate – the square root of the variance. The standard error of the CPI’s change can be used to construct confidence intervals to determine whether the change for a particular CPI series is significantly different from zero. This information should help users determine which index changes are significant. Presentation of findings The percent changes in the CPI along with their standard errors were estimated for the 12 months from January through December 2014. In summary, tables 1V through 5V show the median values of those percent changes, as well as the median values of the standard errors. Table 1V shows this information for U.S. city average, and tables 2V through 5V show the same information for the Northeast, Midwest, South, and West regions of the country. For example, from January through December 2014, the 1-month changes in the U.S. city average all items index had a median value of 0.13 percent. The standard errors of those 12 estimates had a median value of 0.04 percent. Margins of error are usually expressed as a statistic’s point estimate plus or minus two standard errors, so the margin of error on the CPI’s 1-month change is approximately 0.13 percent plus or minus 0.08 percent. Therefore, in a typical 1-month period in 2014, the true change in the CPI was probably somewhere between 0.05 percent and 0.21 percent. The tables also show median percent changes and standard errors for 2- and 6-month intervals and for the full year 2014. Margins of error can be calculated for these intervals in the same way as for a 1-month period. Analysis of findings Analyzing the data reveals three significant observations. First, standard errors increase as one moves from the U.S. city average to individual regions of the country and from all items to individual item categories. Second, standard errors differ between item categories. Third, the standard errors decrease on a relative basis (standard error divided by price change), as the price change interval gets longer. The primary reason standard errors increase as one moves from the U.S. city average to individual regions of the country is that sample sizes differ. In general, smaller sample sizes lead to larger standard errors. For example, the U.S. city average all items index is computed each month from approximately 1 In addition, BLS collects approximately 6,100 rents each month, used for both Rent and Rental Equivalence (REQ), each month. 4 CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 87,000 prices (including Rent and REQ quotes) throughout the United States, and its median standard error for 1-month changes is 0.04 percent. By contrast, the Northeast region all items index is computed from approximately 18,400 prices, and its median standard error is 0.10 percent. Regional indexes have larger standard errors because their sample sizes are smaller. One can observe this same effect moving from the all items index to individual item categories. Again, the U.S. city average all items index is computed each month from approximately 87,000 prices, and its median 1-month standard error is 0.04 percent. By contrast, the U.S. city average recreation index is computed from approximately 5,700 prices, and its median 1-month standard error is 0.12 percent, three times as large. Again, smaller sample sizes typically lead to larger standard errors. The second significant observation is that standard errors differ between item categories. There are two reasons for this. First, item categories differ in sample size. For example, the U.S. city average food and beverages index is computed from approximately 34,800 prices each month, while the U.S. city average recreation index is computed from approximately 5,700 prices. Therefore, it is not surprising that the recreation index has larger standard errors. Second, there are real differences in item category price behaviors caused by different selling practices, seasonal influences, and consumer demand. This is especially true for the apparel category, in which it is common for the prices of individual items to fluctuate by 50 percent or more each month. As a result, standard errors for apparel indexes are large. The third observation is that standard errors generally tend to decrease, on a relative basis (standard error divided by price change), as the price change interval gets longer. For the U.S. city average all items index, the median standard error divided by the median percent change is 0.04/0.13 = 0.31 for 1month changes, 0.04/0.26 = 0.15 for 2-month changes, 0.06/0.83 = 0.07 for 6-month changes, and 0.08/1.66 = 0.05 for 12-month changes. This shows that the relative accuracy of percent changes in the CPI generally improves as the price change interval gets longer. On an absolute basis, standard errors tend to increase, but at a decreasing rate. Findings presented here indicate that users should exercise caution when using CPI estimates to make inferences about index changes for relatively short time periods, for individual goods and services, or for local areas. The standard errors of those estimates may be on the same order of magnitude as the estimates themselves; and, thus, few inferences about them are reliable. Sources of error One way of analyzing the error in a survey estimate is to divide the total error into two sources: sampling error and non-sampling error. Sampling error is the uncertainty in the CPI caused by the fact that a sample of retail prices is used to compute the CPI, instead of using the complete universe of retail prices. Non-sampling error is the rest of the error. Non-sampling error includes things such as incorrect information given by survey respondents, data processing errors, and so forth. Non-sampling error arises regardless of whether data are collected from a sample of retail prices or from the complete universe. Another way of analyzing error is to divide it into variance and bias. The variance of the CPI is a measure of how close different estimates of the CPI would be to each other if it were possible to repeat the survey over and over using different samples. Of course, it is not feasible to repeat the survey multiple times, but statistical theory allows the CPI’s variance to be estimated anyway. A small variance, for example, indicates that multiple independent samples would produce values that are consistently very close to each other. Bias is the difference between the CPI’s expected value and its true value. A statistic may have a small variance but a large bias, or it may have a large variance but a small bias. For an index to be considered accurate, both its variance and bias need to be small. 5 CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is constantly trying to reduce the error in the CPI. Variance and sampling error are reduced by using a sample of retail prices that is as large as possible, given resource constraints. BLS has developed a model that optimizes the allocation of resources by indicating the number of prices that should be observed in each geographic area and each item category, in order to minimize the variance of the U.S. city average all items index. BLS reduces non-sampling error through a series of computerized and professional data reviews, as well as through continuous survey process improvements and theoretical research. Replication and variance estimation An important advantage of using sampling is that the CPI’s variance can be estimated directly from the sample data. Starting in 1978, the CPI’s sample design has accommodated variance estimation by using two or more independent samples of items and outlets in each geographic area. This allows two or more statistically independent estimates of the index to be made. The independent samples are called replicates, and the set of all observed prices is called the full sample. BLS collects CPI data in 38 geographic areas across the United States. These areas consist of 31 selfrepresenting areas and 7 non-self-representing areas. Self-representing areas are large metropolitan areas, such as the Boston, St. Louis, and San Francisco metropolitan areas. Non-self-representing areas are collections of smaller metropolitan areas. For example, one non-self-representing area is a collection of 32 small metropolitan areas in the Northeast region (Buffalo, Hartford, Providence, Bangor, and others), of which 8 were randomly selected to represent the entire set. Within each of the 38 areas, price data are collected for 211 item categories called item strata. Together the 211 item strata cover all consumer purchases. Examples of item strata are bananas, women’s dresses, and electricity. Multiplying the number of areas by the number of item strata gives 8,018 (= 38 u 211) different area and item combinations for which price indexes need to be calculated. Separate price indexes are calculated for each one of these 8,018 area and item combinations. After all 8,018 of these basic-level indexes are calculated, they are aggregated to form higher-level indexes, using expenditure estimates from the Consumer Expenditure Survey as their weights. Examples of higher-level geographic areas are the four regions (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West); and examples of higher-level item categories are the eight major groups (food & beverages, housing, apparel, transportation, medical care, education and communication, recreation, and other goods and services). The highest level of geographic aggregation is the U.S. city average, and the highest level of item aggregation is all items. Variances are computed with a Stratified Random Groups Method, in which variances are computed separately for certain subsets of areas and items and are then combined to produce the variance of the entire area and item combination. Subsets of items are formed by the intersection of the item category with each of the eight major groups. Let CPI(A,I,f,t) denote the index value where A = area, I = item category, f indicates that it is the fullsample value, and t = month; and let CPI(A,I,f,t-k) denote the value of the same index in month = t-k. In general, the upper-case letter A denotes a set of areas, such as the Northeast or Midwest region of the country; and the upper-case letter I denotes a higher-level item category, such as all items or all items less food and energy. Also let CPI(A,I,r,t) and CPI(A,I,r,t-k) be the corresponding index values for replicate = r. Most areas have two replicates, but some have more. Then, the full-sample k-month percent change between months t-k and t is computed by dividing CPI(A,I,f,t) by CPI(A,I,f,t-k), subtracting 1, and multiplying by 100: 6 CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 PC ( A, I , f , t , t k ) · § CPI ( A, I , f , t ) ¨¨ 1¸¸ u 100 CPI ( A , I , f , t k ) ¹ © Every index has a weight W(A,I,f) or W(A,I,r) associated with it, which is used to combine the index with other indexes to produce indexes for larger geographic areas and larger item categories. For example, the weights are used to combine all 8,018 basic-level indexes into higher-level indexes such as the U.S. city average all items index. The product of an index and its weight is called a cost weight, CW(A,I,r,t) = CPI(A,I,r,t) u W(A,I,r), and is an estimate of the total cost in area = A for consumption of item category = I in month = t. For the Stratified Random Groups method used here, replicate percent changes are defined as follows: full sample cost weights are used for every geographic area within area = A except for one of the areas. In the omitted area, the full sample cost weight is replaced by a replicate cost weight. Let the lower case letter a denote one of the 38 basic-level areas included in area = A, and let the lower case letter i denote the intersection of item category = I with one of the 8 major groups. Then, the replicate percent change, for area = a, item subset = i, replicate = r, between months t-k and t, is computed as: PCS (a, i, r , t , t k ) § · CW ( A, I , f , t ) CW (a, i, f , t ) CW (a, i, r , t ) ¨¨ 1¸¸ u 100 ( , , , ) ( , , , ) ( , , , ) CW A I f t k CW a i f t k CW a i r t k © ¹ for self-representing areas. For non-self-representing areas, the replicate percent change, for area = a, item category = I, replicate = r, between months t-k and t, is computed as: PCN (a, I , r , t , t k ) § · CW ( A, I , f , t ) CW (a, I , f , t ) CW (a, I , r , t ) ¨¨ 1¸¸ u 100 © CW ( A, I , f , t k ) CW (a, I , f , t k ) CW (a, I , r , t k ) ¹ where: CW ( A, I , f , t ) ¦ ¦ CW (a, i, f , t ) a A CW ( A, I , f , t ) iI ¦ CW (a, I , f , t ) a A CW (a, I , f , t ) ¦ CW (a, i, f , t ) iI and likewise for replicates. The symbol “aA” means that the sum is over all basic-level areas within area = A, and the symbol iI means that the sum is over all item categories that are intersections of item category = I with a major group. Then, the variance is computed with the following Stratified Random Groups Variance Estimation Formula: V [ PC ( A, I , f , t , t k )] = ¦ ¦ i I a A S + ¦ a A N Ra 1 PC S (a, i, r , t , t k ) PC ( A, I , t , t k ) ¦ R a ( R a 1) r 1 Ra 1 PC N (a, I , r , t , t k ) PC ( A, I , t , t k ) ¦ R a ( R a 1) r 1 7 2 2 CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 where S and N are the sets of all self-representing and non-self-representing areas in the CPI’s geographic sample, respectively; and AS and AN are the sets of all self-representing and non-selfrepresenting areas within area = A. The number Ra is the number of replicates in area = a. Finally, the standard error of the percent change is computed by taking the square root of its variance: SE[ PC(A, I , f , t,t k) ] V[PC(A, I , f , t,t k)] .

NOTE: Local area 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. NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date. 56 CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 Table 11.

NOTE: Local area 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. NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date. 71 CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 Table 18.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes CPIs for two population groups: (1) The CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), which covers households of wage earners and clerical workers that comprise approximately 28 percent of the total population and (2) the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the Chained CPI for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U), which covers approximately 89 percent of the total population and include, in addition to wage earner and clerical worker households, 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 CPIs are based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors’ and dentists’ services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected each month in 87 urban areas across the country from about 6,100 housing units and approximately 24,000 retail establishments—department stores, supermarkets, 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 fuels and a few other items are obtained every month in all 87 locations. Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained through personal visits or telephone calls by BLS trained representatives. In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights that represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. For the CPI-U and CPI-W, separate indexes also are published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 27 local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities; they measure only the average change in prices for each area since the base period. For the C-CPI-U, data are issued only at the national level. It is important to note that the CPI-U and CPI-W are considered final when released, but the C-CPI-U is issued in preliminary form and is subject to two annual revisions. The index measures price change from a designated reference date. For the CPI-U and the CPI-W, the reference base is 1982–84 = 100.0. The reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999=100.0. An increase of 16.5 percent from the reference base, for example, is shown as 116.5. This change also can 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 1982–84 to $11.65. For further details, visit the CPI homepage on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/cpi or contact our CPI Information and Analysis Section at (202) 691-7000. Calculating index changes Movements of the indexes from one month to another usually are 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, whereas percent changes are not. The example shown in the box on this page illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. Index point change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change 202.416 201.800 .616 Percent change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change .616 201.800 0.003 0.003 x 100 0.3 128 CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 Regions defined The states in the four regions are listed below. The Northeast--Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The Midwest--Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The South--Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The West--Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Energy prices Prices usually are available for the U.S. city average, 13 large metropolitan areas, the 4 census regions, 3 size classifications, and 10 areas reflecting the 4 census regions cross-classified by the 3 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 designation 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. 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). It should be noted that bills priced for the CPI not only are for different consumption amounts, but may also be calculated from different types of residential rate schedules. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally suitable for use in place-to-place price comparisons. Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than 1 gallon. These prices are converted to a gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity or quick payment. Gasoline and automotive diesel fuel. Gasoline and diesel prices, shown in table P3, are collected at the pump from a sample of full service, miniservice, and self-service gas stations. Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated: 1 therm = 100,000 BTUs (U.S. Department of Energy) 1 kwh = 3,412 BTUs (Edison Electric Institute) 1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTUs (U.S. Department of Energy) Food and beverage prices Actual weighted average prices for food and beverages are calculated each month at the national level and for the four census geographic regions, as shown in table P4. 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 to satisfy the need for local area data. It should be noted that the average prices for food 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 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, an estimated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. For cases in which the proportion 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. Detailed specifications are available from BLS information offices or from the Washington office, upon request. 129 CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 A Note on 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 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 before adjustment for seasonal variation. Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-13ARIMA-SEATS Seasonal Adjustment Method. Seasonally adjusted indexes and seasonal factors are computed annually. Each year, the last five years of seasonally adjusted data are revised. Data from January 2010 through December 2014 were replaced in January 2015. Exceptions to the usual revision schedule were: the updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977; and, in January 2002, dependently seasonally adjusted series were revised for January 1987-December 2001 as a result of a change in the aggregation weights for dependently adjusted series. For further information, please see “Aggregation of Dependently Adjusted Seasonally Adjusted Series,” in the October 2001 issue of the CPI Detailed Report. Effective with the publication of data from January 2006 through December 2010 in January 2011, the Video and audio series and the Information technology, hardware and services series were changed from independently adjusted to dependently adjusted. This resulted in an increase in the number of seasonal components used in deriving seasonal movement of the All items and 64 other lower level aggregations, from 73 for the publication of January 1998 through December 2005 data to 82 for the publication of seasonally adjusted data for January 2006 and later. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 82 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last five years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes before that period will not be changed. Note: 32 of the 82 components are not seasonally adjusted for 2014. Seasonally adjusted data, including the all items index levels, are subject to revision for up to five years after their original release. For this reason, BLS advises against the use of these data in escalation agreements. 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 Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. Beginning with the calculation of seasonal factors for 1996, X-12-ARIMA software was used for Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment. In 2014, for the 2009-2013 revisions, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began using X-13ARIMA-SEATS to perform the seasonal adjustment of CPI series, including Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for certain series. For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2015, BLS adjusted 33 series using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment, including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels, electricity and vehicles. For example, this procedure was used for the Motor fuel series to offset the effects of events such as the response in crude oil markets to the worldwide economic downturn in 2008. For a complete list of Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment series and explanations, please refer to the article “Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment”, located on our website at http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.htm.

Metropolitan areas BLS publishes price indexes for three major metropolitan areas monthly: Chicago-Gary-Kenosha, IL-IN-WI Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County, CA New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT-PA Data for an additional 11 metropolitan areas are published every other month [on an odd- (January, March, etc.) or even- (February, April, and so forth) month schedule] for the following areas: 130 CPI Detailed Report-February 2015 Atlanta, GA Boston-Brockton-Nashua, MANH -ME-CT Cleveland-Akron, OH Dallas-Fort Worth, TX Detroit-Ann Arbor-Flint, MI Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, TX Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL Philadelphia-Wilmington -Atlantic City, PA-NJ-DE-MD San Francisco-Oakland -San Jose, CA Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton, WA Washington-Baltimore, DC-MD-VA-WV -even -odd -odd -odd -even -even -even -even -even -even -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 into the following month.) Data are published for another group of 13 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 August and February for Anchorage, AK Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN Denver-Boulder-Greeley, CO Honolulu, HI Kansas City, MO-KS Milwaukee-Racine, WI Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN-WI Phoenix-Mesa, AZ Pittsburgh, PA Portland-Salem, OR-WA San Diego, CA St. Louis, MO-IL Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL How to Obtain Consumer Price Index Information CPI information is available from BLS electronically, through publication subscriptions, and via telephone and fax through automated recordings. Information specialists also are available in the national and information offices to provide help and to respond to questions. Electronic access to CPI data BLS on the Internet. Through the Internet, BLS provides free, continuous access to published CPI data and press releases. The most recent month’s CPI is made available immediately at the time of release. Additionally, a database called LABSTAT, containing current and historical data for the CPI, is accessible. World Wide Web. BLS maintains a Web site at http://www.bls.gov on the Internet.
