January 1995

The food and beverage index fe ll 0.2 percent in January.
Grocery store food prices decreased 0.5 percent in January,
follow ing a 1.0-percent increase in December. The decelera­
tion reflects a sharp downturn in the index fo r fruits and
vegetables, which declined 2.6 percent in January, fo llo w ­
ing a 5.3-percent rise in December. The index fo r fresh fruits
and vegetables decreased 4.3 percent, more than offsetting a
1.0-percent increase in the index fo r processed fruits and
vegetables. Each o f the other major grocery store food groups
showed little movement in January, w ith the changes rang­
ing between negative and positive 0.2 percent. The index fo r
cereal and bakery products fe ll 0.2 percent, w hile the in ­
dexes fo r meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, fo r dairy products,
and fo r other food at home each increased. The index fo r
meats, poultry, fish, and eggs turned up in January as an
increase in meat prices more than offset declines in the prices
fo r poultry, eggs, and fish and seafood. Beef and pork prices,
each o f which declined in 1994, rose 0.5 and 1.3 percent,
respectively. The other two components o f the food and bev­
erage index— restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—
each rose 0.1 percent in January.
The housing component increased 0.4 percent in January,
follow ing no change in December. Each o f the three major

The Consumer Price Index fo r A ll Urban Consumers (CPIU) rose 0.4 percent before seasonal adjustment in January
to a level o f 150.3 (1982-84=100). For the 12-month period
ended in January, the CPI-U increased 2.8 percent.
The Consumer Price Index fo r Urban Wage Earners and
C lerical Workers (CPI-W ) increased 0.4 percent in Janu­
ary, prior to seasonal adjustment. The January 1995 CPIW level o f 147.8 was 2.9 percent higher than the index in
January 1994.

CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.3 per­
cent in January, follow ing increases o f 0.1 and 0.2 percent
in the 2 preceding months. In January, the index fo r food
declined 0.3 percent, follow ing an advance o f 0.8 percent
in December. Energy costs, which declined slightly in De­
cember, increased 0.3 percent in January. Excluding food
and energy, the CPI-U increased 0.4 percent, follow ing a
0.1-percent rise in December. The acceleration in January
reflects a larger rise in shelter costs and upturns in the in ­
dexes fo r apparel co m m o d itie s, a irlin e fares, and
housefumishings, each o f which had declined throughout
most o f the second h alf o f 1994.

its pattern o f very little movement evident since the intro­
duction o f the 1995 models. (As o f January, the proportion
o f 1995 models in the index was about 80 percent o f the new
car sample.) Autom obile finance charges continued to in ­
crease sharply, advancing 4.0 percent in January and 27.4
percent in the last 12 months. Used car prices also contin­
ued to rise sharply, advancing 2.6 percent in January and
11.4 percent since January 1994.
The index fo r apparel and upkeep, which registered de­
clines throughout most o f the second h a lf o f 1994, turned up
in January, increasing 0.7 percent. Smaller than usual dis­
counts on fall-w inter clothing in January, resulting from sub­
stantial discounting earlier in the season were responsible
for the January increase. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, cloth­
ing prices fe ll 0.9 percent in January.)
M edical care costs rose 0.3 percent in January to a level
4.9 percent higher than a year earlier. The index fo r medi­
cal care commodities— prescription drugs, nonprescription
drugs, and medical supplies— was unchanged in January.
The index fo r medical care services rose 0.4 percent in Janu­
ary. Charges fo r professional services and hospital and re­
lated services increased 0.3 and 0.2 percent, respectively.
Entertainment costs increased 0.4 percent in January, fo l­
low ing a 0.1-percent rise in December. The indexes fo r toys
and sporting goods and equipment and fo r fees fo r club mem­
berships and fo r instructions, which declined in December,
turned up in January.
The index fo r other goods and services was unchanged in
January. The index fo r tobacco and smoking products fe ll
1.3 percent. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, tobacco prices
rose 0.1 percent.) An increase in the index fo r personal and
educational expenses, in particular, fo r prices o f school books
and supplies offset the drop in the tobacco index.

housing groups contributed to the acceleration. Shelter costs,
which increased 0.1 percent in December, advanced 0.3 per­
cent in January. W ithin shelter, renters’ costs rose 0.2 per­
cent; homeowners’ costs, 0.4 percent; and maintenance and
repair costs, 0.3 percent. The index fo r fuel and other u tili­
ties, which declined 0.2 percent in December, increased 0.5
percent in January. The index fo r household fuels rose 0.2
percent, as increases in the indexes fo r fuel o il and electric­
ity — up 0.6 and 0.7 percent, respectively— more than offset
a 0.8-percent decline in the index fo r natural gas. The index
for other u tilities and public services rose 1.0 percent in Janu­
ary, reflecting a sharp increase in the index fo r telephone
services. These charges rose 1.3 percent in January as a 2.7percent increase in local telephone call charges more than
offset a 4.8-percent drop in charges for intrastate to ll calls.
Charges for cable television, which had declined throughout
most o f 1994 before turning up in November, rose 0.7 per­
cent in January. The index for household furnishings and
operation, which was unchanged in December, increased 0.8
percent in January, its largest monthly advance since Febru­
ary 1991. Contributing to the January increase was a 10.3percent rise in postage fees.
The transportation index advanced 0.6 percent in Janu­
ary, follow ing an increase o f 0.2 percent in December. Pub­
lic transportation costs, which declined 2.3 percent in De­
cember, rose 1.2 percent in January, reflecting an upturn in
airline fares. The index fo r airline fares rose 2.2 percent in
January, follow ing declines in each o f the last 4 months o f
1994 totaling 10.8 percent. Private transportation costs rose
0.5 percent in January, the same as in December. The index
for motor fuels rose 0.4 percent in January. (Prior to sea­
sonal adjustment, gasoline prices declined 1.8 percent.) The
increase o f 0.1 percent in the index fo r new cars continues

Intervention Analysis in
Seasonal Adjustment

Seasonal adjustment is the process by which the typical
seasonal movement o f prices fo r goods or services in a
Consumer Price Index series is quantified and factored out
o f the series. This process permits analysis o f nonseasonal
price movements. CPI series use the X-11-AR IM A (1988)
program developed by Statistics Canada to calculate factors
fo r seasonal adjustm ent o f both h isto rica l and current
series. Some CPI series are adjusted using Intervention
A n a lysis Seasonal A d ju stm e n t in c o n ju n ctio n w ith
X-11-AR IM A seasonal adjustment.
Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment is a technique
used to produce better seasonal adjustment. The technique
allows nonseasonal economic phenomena such as level shifts
to be factored out o f the indexes before adjustment. A level
shift is a change (or shift) in the price level o f a CPI series
occurring over 1 or several months caused by events such
as a sales tax increase or o il embargo. The result is an ad­
justm ent based on a representation o f the series w ith the
seasonal pattern emphasized. Intervention Analysis Seasonal
Adjustment also allows fo r seasonal shifts to be accounted
for, resulting in a better seasonal adjustment in the periods
before and after the shift occurred.
When Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment is used
in conjunction w ith X -11-A R IM A seasonal adjustment, the
unusual events are modeled before the seasonal adjustment
is done. Prior-adjustm ent factors from the Intervention
Analysis Seasonal Adjustm ent are calculated and applied
using the prior-adjustment option o f X-11-AR IM A. For a
more comprehensive discussion o f Intervention Analysis
Seasonal Adjustment, please see “ Improvements in CPI Pro­
cedures” in the M arch 1990 issue o f the CPI Detailed
Report.
In January 1995, the series listed below were adjusted
using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustm ent before
X-11-A R IM A processing. These series were examined us­
ing an 8-year span from 1987 to 94.

quality adjustment, it is estimated that this index would have
increased 1.1 percent. In those areas required to sell the
reform ulated gasoline, v irtu a lly a ll o f the January price
quotes were fo r reformulated gasoline.

A quality adjustment has been made to gasoline prices
used in the January CPI to account fo r the effects o f the
mandated introduction o f reformulated gasoline in selected
areas o f the United States. The gasoline index rose 0.4 per­
cent in January, follow ing seasonal adjustment. W ithout the

improved. Second, additional BLS research indicated that
the prior procedures, both fo r residential rent and fo r own­
ers’ im p lic it rent, tended to understate the short-term rent
change. Beginning w ith data fo r January 1995, BLS has in ­
corporated an improved estimate. Research on this issue w ill
continue during the course o f the upcoming CPI revision,
and, i f this research yields further improvements in the esti­
mates o f rent changes, they w ill be incorporated into the
index as part o f the revision effort.
Finally, the procedure fo r handling the introduction into
the index o f generic versions o f form erly patented drugs
into the index has been changed. The prior practice o f di­
rectly comparing the prices o f patented and generic drugs
only when the patented drug is no longer available in the
sampled outlet has been changed. A new procedure, which
reflects the rate at which consumers switch their purchases
from patented to generic versions o f a drug, has been em­
ployed beginning w ith CPI data fo r January 1995.
The basic research papers on these topics are available
from BLS by calling (202) 606-7000. These changes are
explained more fu lly in the CPI Detailed Report fo r Octo­
ber 1994.

Effective w ith the release o f data fo r January 1995, the
Bureau o f Labor Statistics introduced several technical im ­
provements in the calculation o f the Consumer Price Index
designed to make the index a more accurate measure o f price
change. These improvements, which stem from findings o f
research conducted by BLS staff, affected the food at home,
shelter, and prescription drug components o f the CPI.
The change to the food at home component improved the
outlet sample rotation process. (Approxim ately 20 percent
o f CPI outlet samples are updated annually.) Em pirical evi­
dence had established that the prior procedures fo r the rou­
tine introduction o f new samples tended to overstate price
change fo r the newly sampled items immediately follow ing
their introduction. Because the food at home component o f
the index is particularly sensitive to this effect, new mea­
sures designed to lessen its impact have been introduced in
the calculation o f the food at home component beginning
with January 1995 data.
In addition, two changes have been made in the way in
which the shelter component o f the CPI is calculated. First,
the im putation form ula fo r estimating owners’ equivalent
rent, which relies upon a matching o f a sample o f residen­
tia l rental units to a sample o f homeowner units, has been

Response Rates for the Consumer
Price Indexes, 1994

Joseph Pavalone
This article and the accompanying tables update in fo r­
mation previously published on response rates in the CPI
Detailed Report fo r March 1991, January 1992, 1993, and
1994.
In an effort to measure the outcome o f data collection for
the CPI, BLS calculates response rates. Response rates mea­
sure the proportion o f completed surveys to those issued
and help measure the accuracy o f the CPI. Failure o f a data
unit to respond at either the data collection stage or estima­
tion stage represents a loss o f statistical inform ation which
dilutes the accuracy o f the sample. BLS publishes response
rates annually to assist the data user in judging the accuracy
o f CPI data.
Response rates are calculated fo r the CPI-U at the data
collection phase fo r initiation and pricing, and at the data
estimation phase fo r pricing. The response rate at the data
collection phase is the number o f responding sample units
divided by the number o f eligible sample units. A sample
unit is eligible if it belongs to the defined target population
and if it should provide inform ation fo r one or more items.
The response rate at estimation is defined as the number o f
sample units used in estimation divided by the number o f
eligible sample units.
Response rates fo r 1994 are presented in tables R -l
through R-17. Table R -l shows response rates fo r all data
included in the CPI-U, U.S. city average, by major group,
fo r all o f 1994. Tables R-2 through R -l6 show rates fo r cur­
rent data collection in selected areas fo r which indexes are
published monthly and bimonthly.
The response rates in tables R -l through R -l6 are sepa­
rated into commodities and services, and the shelter portion

o f housing. Commodities and services are further broken
down into outlets and quotes. An “ outlet” is a generic term
that designates the place where prices are collected. A
“ quote” is a specific item to be priced in a specific outlet.
There may be from 1 to more than 50 quotes priced in each
outlet.
In table R -l, it is im portant to note the relatively low
percentages o f quotes reported, collected, and used in esti­
mation fo r apparel and upkeep. Low rates fo r these items
can be partially attributed to the design o f the apparel sample.
Because seasonal apparel items commonly are in stores only
during certain times o f the year, most o f the apparel sample
is doubled, w ith each h a lf o f the sample designated fo r pric­
ing during part o f the year. Thus, at any particular time o f
the year, a large number o f apparel quotes, although e li­
gible, are designated out o f season and are not collected.
The shelter section in tables R -l through R - l6 includes
categories fo r owners, renters, and those fo r whom the ten­
ure status is unknown. A unit qualifies as an owner or renter
unit if its tenure status is known either by previous know l­
edge or is collected in the current interview period. The
response rates at the data collection phase fo r shelter are
separated into three categories. I f useable inform ation is
obtained, the unit is designated data reported. I f the assigned
unit is located but is unoccupied, the unit is designatedfound
vacant. In instances where the unit is eligible but no data
are available (fo r example, refusals or no one at home) the
unit is designated other.
For additional inform ation on response rates, w rite to the
Bureau o f Labor Statistics, D ivision o f Consumer Prices
and Price Indexes, Room 3615, 2 Massachusetts Avenue,
NE., Washington, DC 20212-0001, or call Joseph Pavalone
at (202) 606-7000.

Joseph Pavalone is an economist in the Office of Prices and Living Con­
ditions.

Note: For the shelter component, the number of owner units used in estimation may be higher than the number listed
under "Data reported.“ The use of owner units in estimation is based on matching renter data, not on their own collection
status. This applies to both U.S. dty average data as well as metropolitan area data.

N T : Local area C I indexes are byproducts of the national C I
OE
P
P
program E local index has a sm sam size than the national
. ach
aller
ple
index and is, therefore, subject to substantially m sam
ore
pling and other
m
easurem error. A a result, local area indexes show greater volatility
ent
s
than the national index, although their long-term trends are sim
ilar.
Therefore, the B
ureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider
adopting the national average C I for use in their escalator clauses.

N T : Local area C I indexes are byproducts of the national C I
OE
P
P
program E local index has a sm sam size than the national
. ach
aller
ple
index and is, therefore, subject to substantially m sam
ore
pling and other
m
easurem error. A a result, local area indexes show greater volatility
ent
s
than the national index, although their long-term trends are sim
ilar.
Therefore, the B
ureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider
adopting the national average C I for use in their escalator clauses.

Technical Notes

Brief Explanation of the CPI

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.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the
average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket
of goods and services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
publishes CPI’s for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All
Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80
percent of the total population and (2), a CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which covers 32 per­
cent of the total population. The CPI-U includes, in addition
to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as profes­
sional, managerial, and technical workers, the selfemployed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees
and others not in the labor force.
The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter,
fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors’ and dentists’
services, medicine, and the other goods that people buy for
day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas
across the country from about 57,000 housing units and
approximately 19,000 retail establishments—department
stores, supermarkets, hospitals, gasoline stations and other
types of stores and services establishments. All taxes direct­
ly associated with the purchase and use of items are included
in the index. Prices of food, fuel, and and a few other items
are obtained every month in all 85 locations. Prices of most
other commodities and services are collected every month
in the five largest geographic areas and every other month
in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained
by either personal visits or telephone calls from the Bureau’s
trained representatives. Some data, such as used car prices,
are obtained from secondary sources.
In calculating the index, price changes for the various
items in each location are averaged together with weights
which represent their importance in the spending of the ap­
propriate population group. Local data are then combined to
obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also pub­
lished by size of city, by region of country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 29
local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the
level of prices among cities, they only measure the average
change in prices for each area since the base period.




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 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.

Energy Prices

Natural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are reported

Prices are usually available for the U.S. city average, 15
large metropolitan areas, the four census regions, four size
classifications, and 13 areas reflecting the four Census re­
gions cross-classified by the four population sizes. However,
not all energy commodities and services are used in every
area of the country. Fuel oil, for example, is not a common
heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South
and West. Where no average prices are available, the desig­
nation NA appears. This designation also appears if the data
sufficiency criteria have not been met in any given month.
For example, if there are fewer than five usable fuel oil
prices for a published city or region size class, no fuel oil
prices for the area will be published.
All prices are collected monthly by BLS representatives
in the urban areas priced for the CPI. Prices for natural gas
and electricity include fuel and purchased gas adjustments
and all applicable taxes. Fuel oil and gasoline prices include
applicable Federal, State, and local taxes.




in therms, which are a measure of heating value. Electricity
prices are given in kilowatt hours (kwh). For both utility ser­
vices, the consumption ranges specified in table P2 are the
upper and lower limits of the bill sizes priced for the Con­
sumer Price Index. The average prices per therm and per
kilowatt hour are calculated from bills priced within these
ranges. It should be noted that bills priced for the CPI are not
only for different consumption amounts, but may also be cal­
culated from different types of residential rate schedules.
The average price per therm and per kilowatt hour are not,
therefore, generally suitable for use in place-to-place price
comparisons.
The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas
for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table PI) are calculated
from a special price collection program. They are not used
in the calculation of the CPI. Since heating and air-condi­
tioning 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

changes over time for constant amounts of consumption, and
to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electric­

change in quality resulting from the effect of aging on rental
housing. In January 1987, the Bureau announced its inten­
tion to begin making such adjustments, assuming that fur­
ther research substantiated the need to do so. The decision
to implement the adjustment was based on extensive BLS re­
search, in which alternative adjustment methods were ex­
plored and tested. Evaluation of the research indicates that
an aging effect exists, and that the chosen method is opera­
tionally feasible.1The adjustment affect CPI shelter indexes,
which would have been raised by 0.2 percent for the year
1987 had an aging adjustment been applied.
The quality of housing unit decreases as the unit ages. Ex­
isting BLS methods are used to correct for relatively easily
measured quality changes such as the addition of an extra
bedroom, but such methods are inadequate to correct for de­
terioration in the condition of housing unit.2
The aging adjustment method was specifically designed
to correct for quality changes associated with this deteriora­
tion. The BLS used hedonic regression methods to estimate
the aging effect.
The estimates were then used to correct the CPI rent and
rental equivalence indexes. Hedonic regressions are statisti­
cal functions that relate the price of a good to its attributes
or characteristics. For example, a hedonic regression relates
a housing unit’s rent to its size, age, location, etc. By using
BLS housing survey data from 1987 and Census data from
1980, hedonic regression methods provided estimates of the
relationship between a housing unit’s rent and age while oth­
er housing unit characteristics were held constant. The esti­
mated relationship was then used to construct the aging ad­
justment. Estimates will be recomputed annually by using
the previous year’s BLS housing survey data and the most
recently available Census data.

Fuel o il 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).

Food Prices
In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are cal­
culated each month at the national level and for the four Cen­
sus geographic regions. As a result of changes in price
collection methodology and sample sizes, average prices for
individual cities cannot in general be produced. It is hoped
however, that regional average prices will help satisfy the
need for local area data. It should be noted that the average
prices for food in this report reflect variations in brand, qual­
ity, and size among geographic areas. Users of average food
prices should be aware that these differences exist.
Because a number of food commodities are not available
in all areas on a year-round basis, prices will not appear in
some months for some regions or for the U.S. city average.
In other instances, sufficient prices may not be available due
to temporary disruptions in supplies. Where no average
prices are available, the designation NA appears. When a
price is not available from an individual store in any month,
as estimated price will be calculated for the missing item and
used in computing the average price. In cases where the pro­
portion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is
considered too high, the average price is not published and
NA appears for that item in the table.
Because of space limitations in the table, the description
for each item is abbreviated. More detailed specifications
are available from the BLS regional offices or from the
Washington office upon request.

Seasonally Adjusted and
Unadjusted Data
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.

Adjustment of Shelter Indexes
for Aging Effects
Beginning with January 1988 CPI, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics adjusts the monthly CPI shelter indexes for the



237

The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers
concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted
data also are used extensively for escalation purposes. Many
collective bargaining contract agreements and pension
plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consum­
er Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation.
In most cases, seasonal factors used in computing the sea­
sonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X -ll- ARIMA
Seasonal Adjustment Method. The updated seasonal data at
the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subse­
quent annual updates have replaced 5 years of seasonal data,
for example, data from 1987 through 1991 were replaced at
the end of 1991. The seasonal movement of all items and 47
other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal
movement of 60 selected components. Each year the seasonal
status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statis­
tical criteria. Occasionally, a component changes its seasonal
adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally
adjusted. When this occurs, not seasonally adjusted data are
used for the last 5 years, but before that period the seasonally
adjusted indexes remain in calculations of higher-level sea­
sonally adjusted indexes.
Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for
1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has used an enhanced
seasonal adjustment procedure called intervention analysis
in conjunction with X-ll-ARIMA for some CPI series. In­
tervention analysis allows for better estimates of seasonally
adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements
which might distort the seasonal pattern are removed
from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors in
X-ll-ARIMA.
For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this procedure
was used to offset the effects that extreme price volatility
would otherwise have had on the estimates of seasonally ad­
justed data for those series. For some women’s apparel in­
dexes and the girls’ apparel index, the procedure was used
to offset the effects of changes in pricing methodology; and
for new cars, new trucks, and new vehicles, this procedure
was used to offset the effects of changes in marketing strate­
gies and the introduction of new models. For the tobacco and
smoking products index, this procedure was used to offset the
effects of increases in excise taxes and wholesale tobacco
prices. For some alcoholic beverage series, intervention was
used to offset the effects of excise tax increases.
An alternative to the intervention-adjusted X-llARIMA procedure is the state space model-based seasonal
adjustment method. This method adjusts simultaneously for
interventions and seasonal effects, rather than sequentially
as in the X-ll-ARIMA methodology, using structural statis­
tical models with explanatory variables. The state space
structural model-based method of seasonal adjustment was
introduced in 1992 for the adjustment of January 1991December 1991 indexes for three women’s apparel series:
Dresses, separates and sportswear, and suits.
A description of intervention analysis, including a list of

events treated as interventions and the seasonal factors for
these items may be obtained by writing the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices and Price Indexes,

Metropolitan Areas
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

(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.
These areas are:
New Orleans, LA
Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL

CPI on Electronic Bulletin Board
A limited amount of CPI information is currently avail­
able via the Department of Labor’s electronic bulletin board
system (BBS). The data are accessible for downloading free
of charge at virtually anytime to any person who has a per­
sonal computer with a modem and communications soft­
ware. The phone number for the BBS is (202) 219-4784.
Included on the Labor News BBS are all items indexes for
the CPI-U and CPI-W for both the U.S. city average and the
Washington, D.C. area from 1980 to the present. Also in­
cluded on the BBS are average prices for the U.S. from 1990
to the present for natural gas, electricity, fuel oil, and gaso­
line (all types, unleaded regular, and unleaded premium).
More indexes or average prices may be added in the future.
The BBS is set to use the most common personal comput­
er parameters. Users should set their communication soft­
ware to the following:
