CPI Detailed Report-February 2016

CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
FEBRUARY 2016
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) declined 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 increased 1.0 percent before seasonal
adjustment.
The energy index continued to decrease and was the major cause of the seasonally adjusted decline in the all items index, more
than offsetting increases in the indexes for food and for all items less food and energy. The gasoline index fell sharply, declining 13.0
percent, and the indexes for fuel oil and electricity also decreased, though the index for natural gas rose.
The food index increased 0.2 percent in February, as the food at home index rose for the first time since September. Major grocery
store food group indexes were mixed. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.3 percent. Increases in the indexes for shelter,
apparel, and medical care were the largest contributors to the rise, but almost all major components increased in February.
The all items index rose 1.0 percent over the last 12 months, a smaller increase than the 1.4-percent change for the 12 months
ending January. The energy index fell 12.5 percent over the past year, with all of its major components declining. The food index
advanced 0.9 percent, with the index for food at home declining but the food away from home index rising. The index for all items less
food and energy rose 2.3 percent, its largest 12-month increase since May 2012.

Consumer Price Index Data for February 2016
Food
The food index increased 0.2 percent in February after being unchanged in January. The food at home index turned up in February,
rising 0.2 percent after declining in recent months. The index for fruits and vegetables rose for the second month in a row, increasing
0.8 percent. The index for fresh fruits rose 2.3 percent, while the fresh vegetables index declined 0.4 percent. The index for nonalcoholic
beverages rose 0.6 percent in February, its largest increase since November 2014. The index for cereals and bakery products also
increased in February, rising 0.2 percent. In contrast to these increases, the indexes for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs and for other food
at home both declined slightly in February, each falling 0.1 percent, while the index for dairy and related products was unchanged. The

food at home index has declined 0.3 percent over the past 12 months. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs fell 3.7 percent over
the span, and the index for dairy and related products declined 2.6 percent. The index for food away from home increased 0.1 percent
in February and has risen 2.6 percent over the last 12 months.

Energy
The energy index fell 6.0 percent in February, its third consecutive decline. The gasoline index was the primary factor in the
decrease; it fell 13.0 percent. (Before seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices declined 9.9 percent in February, and the index has fallen
over 50 percent since June 2014.) The fuel oil index also continued to decline, falling 2.9 percent after a 6.5 percent decrease in January.
The electricity index declined slightly in February, falling 0.2 percent. The index for natural gas was the only component to rise,
increasing 1.0 percent after falling in each of the 5 previous months. All the energy component indexes have declined over the last 12
months, with declines ranging from 3.0 percent (electricity) to 32.1 percent (fuel oil).

All items less food and energy
The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.3 percent in February, the same increase as the prior month. The shelter
index repeated its January increase of 0.3 percent, with the indexes for rent and for owners' equivalent rent both increasing 0.3 percent,
and the index for lodging away from home rising 0.9 percent. The apparel index rose sharply in February, increasing 1.6 percent, its
largest increase since February 2009. The medical care index rose 0.5 percent, the same increase as in January, with the index for
prescription drugs rising 0.9 percent and the hospital services index advancing 0.5 percent. The index for motor vehicle insurance
increased 0.4 percent in February, the same increase as last month. The index for education rose 0.3 percent. The indexes for new
vehicles, used cars and trucks, alcoholic beverages, recreation, and tobacco all increased 0.2 percent in February. The indexes for
personal care and for airline fares both edged up 0.1 percent, while the index for household furnishings and operations was unchanged.
The communication index was one of the few to decline in February, falling 0.5 percent.
The index for all items less food and energy increased 2.3 percent over the past 12 months, a figure that has been slowly rising
since it was 1.7 percent for the 12 months ending May 2015. The index for shelter has risen 3.3 percent over the last year, its largest 12month increase since the period ending September 2007, and the medical care index has increased 3.5 percent, its largest rise since
October 2012.

Not seasonally adjusted CPI measures
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 1.0 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of
237.111 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index increased 0.1 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 0.7 percent over the last 12 months
to an index level of 230.972 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index was unchanged prior to seasonal adjustment.
The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 0.5 percent over the last 12 months. For the
month, the index was unchanged 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 2016 is scheduled to be released on Thursday, April 14, 2016, at
8:30 a.m. (EDT).

- Data not available.
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.

- Data not available.
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.

CPI Detailed Report-February 2016

Technical Notes
Brief Explanation of the CPI
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time of goods and services purchased by
households. 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 6,000 housing units and approximately 23,000 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 three quarterly revisions before the final version.
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.

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.

A Note on the Use of Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
Introduction
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) produces both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data. Seasonally adjusted data are computed
using seasonal factors derived by the X-13ARIMA-SEATS Seasonal Adjustment Method. These factors are updated each February, and
the new factors are used to revise the previous five years of seasonally adjusted data. For more information on data revisions and
exceptions to the usual revision schedule, please see the Fact Sheet on Seasonal Adjustment (http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisaqanda.htm)
and the Timeline of Seasonal Adjustment Methodological Changes (http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpiseastimeline.htm).

How to Use Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
For analyzing short-term 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. This allows data users to focus on changes
that are not typical for the time of year.
The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data are also
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. BLS advises against the use of seasonally
adjusted data in escalation agreements because seasonally adjusted series are revised annually.

Intervention Analysis
The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Sometimes extreme values
or sharp movements can distort the underlying seasonal pattern of price change. Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment is a process
by which the distortions caused by such unusual events are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors.
The resulting seasonal factors, which more accurately represent the seasonal pattern, are then applied to the unadjusted data.

2016 Series Adjusted Using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment
For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2016, BLS adjusted 37 series using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment,
including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels and natural gas. 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.

Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Indexes
Seasonally adjusted data, including the U.S. city average All items index levels, are subject to revision for up to five years after
their original release. Every year, economists in the CPI calculate new seasonal factors for seasonally adjusted series and apply them to
the last five years of data. Seasonally adjusted indexes beyond the last five years of data are considered to be final and not subject to
revision. In January 2016, revised seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted indexes for 2011-2015 were calculated and published. For
directly adjusted series, the seasonal factors for 2015 will be applied to data in 2016 to produce the seasonally adjusted 2016 indexes.

Determining Seasonal Status
Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. Using these criteria, BLS
economists determine whether a series should change its status: from "not seasonally adjusted" to "seasonally adjusted", or vice versa.
If any of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all items index 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. 28 of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all items index
are not seasonally adjusted for 2016.
