CPI Detailed Report-January 2010

CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
JANUARY 2010
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the January Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.2 percent, the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the index increased 2.6 percent before seasonal adjustment.
The seasonally adjusted increase in the all items index was due to a rise in the energy index. An increase in the gasoline index
was the main factor, and the indexes for fuel oil and natural gas rose as well, though the electricity index declined.
The index for all items less food and energy fell 0.1 percent in January. This decline was largely the result of decreases in the
indexes for shelter, new vehicles, and airline fares. In contrast, the medical care index posted its largest increase since January 2008,
and the index for used cars and trucks increased significantly for the sixth month in a row.
The food index increased in January, with the food at home component posting its largest increase since September 2008. Sharp
increases in the indexes for dairy and related products and for fruits and vegetables accounted for most of the increase.

CPI Detailed Report-January 2010

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-12-ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment
Method. Seasonally adjusted indexes and seasonal factors are computed annually. Each year, the last 5 years of seasonally adjusted
data are revised. Data from January 2005 through December 2009 were replaced in January 2010. 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.
The seasonal movement of all items and 54 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 73 selected
components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 73
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 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that
period. Note: 46 of the 73 components are seasonally adjusted for 2010.
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.
For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2010, BLS adjusted 30 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 damage to oil refineries from Hurricane Katrina.
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.
For additional information on seasonal adjustment in the CPI, please write to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of
Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or contact David Levin at (202) 691-6968, or by e-mail at
Levin.David@bls.gov. If you have general questions about the CPI, please call our information staff at (202) 691-7000.

CPI Detailed Report-January 2010

Intervention Analysis in Seasonal Adjustment
In some Consumer Price Index (CPI) series, a process known as seasonal adjustment is used to identify and factor out seasonal
movements. The resulting seasonally adjusted data reflect an estimate of nonseasonal price movements. The CPI uses the Bureau of
the Census X-12-ARIMA software to calculate factors for seasonal adjustment of both historical and current series.
Seasonal adjustment for some CPI series use a technique called intervention analysis that is included in the Census X-12 seasonal
adjustment program. Intervention analysis seasonal adjustment allows economic phenomena that are not seasonal in nature, such as
outliers and level shifts, to be factored out of indexes before calculation of seasonal adjustment factors. (An outlier is an extreme
value for a particular month. A level shift is a change or shift in the price level of a CPI series caused by an event, such as a sales tax
increase or oil embargo, occurring over one or several months.) The result is an adjustment based on a representation of the series
with the seasonal pattern emphasized. Intervention analysis seasonal adjustment also makes it possible to account for seasonal shifts,
resulting in a better seasonal adjustment in the periods before and after the shift occurred. For those CPI series adjusted using
intervention analysis seasonal adjustment techniques, the resulting seasonal factors more accurately represent the underlying seasonal
pattern. Seasonal factors are applied to the original unadjusted series without intervention. As a result, level shifts and outliers,
removed for the calculation of seasonal factors, are present in the seasonally adjusted series.
When X-12-ARIMA is used to perform intervention analysis seasonal adjustment, unusual events are modeled as part of the
seasonal adjustment process. X-12-ARIMA’s built-in regression variables are used for directly estimating the effects of sudden level
changes and other disruptions and removing those effects before calculation of the seasonal factors. For a comprehensive discussion of
X-12-ARIMA and intervention analysis seasonal adjustment, see "Improvements to CPI Procedures for Intervention Analysis
Seasonal Adjustment" in the December 1996 issue of the CPI Detailed Report.
A CPI series may receive intervention analysis seasonal adjustment (IASA) if the series is directly adjusted and has a relative
importance greater than 0.5% to the U.S. city average all items index. If IASA is used for a component of the seasonally adjusted U.S.
city average all items index, series which are subsets of the component series are also eligible for IASA. In January 2010, BLS
adjusted the series listed below using intervention analysis seasonal adjustment techniques. BLS examined these series using the 8year span from January 2002 through December 2009.

CPI Detailed Report-January 2010

Item Structure and Publication Changes for January 2010
Effective with the release of CPI data for January 2010 scheduled for Friday, February 19, the BLS will introduce several item
structure and other publication changes into the CPI.
Shelter. The expenditure weight for second homes will be moved from Lodging away from home to a new, unpriced stratum under the
Owners’ equivalent rent expenditure class. As such, the expenditure class index for Owners’ equivalent rent will now include both
primary and secondary homes, and the title of that expenditure class index will change from Owners’ equivalent rent of primary
residences to Owners’ equivalent rent of residences. Both the expenditure class (Owners’ equivalent rent of residences), and the
Owners’ equivalent rent of primary residence stratum within it, will be published.
Current Structure
Lodging away from home
Housing at school, excluding board
Other lodging away from home including hotels and motels
Owners’ equivalent rent of primary residence
Owners’ equivalent rent of primary residence*
New Structure
Lodging away from home
Housing at school, excluding board
Other lodging away from home, including hotels and motels
Owners’ equivalent rent of residences
Owners’ equivalent rent of primary residence
Unsampled owners’ equivalent rent of secondary residences*

Medical care commodities. The item structure for Medical care commodities will change:
Current Structure
Medical care commodities
Prescription drugs
Prescription drugs
Unsampled rent or repair of medical equipment*
Nonprescription drugs and medical supplies
Internal and respiratory OTC drugs
Nonprescription medical equipment and supplies
New Structure
Medical Care Commodities
Medicinal drugs

Indexes that are deemed continuous will have the same reference base previously used. New index series will have a December 2009
= 100 reference base. Unpublished series are indicated with a *.
Other publication changes
The index for State and local registration and license will be retitled State motor vehicle registration and license fees.
A new index for Intracity mass transit will be published. Indexes for Land-line interstate toll calls and Land-line intrastate toll
calls will be discontinued.

15

CPI Detailed Report-January 2010

C-CPI-U Index Revisions
As scheduled, effective with release of data for January 2010, the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CCPI-U) has undergone its annual revision. Because the current expenditure data required for the calculation of the C-CPI-U are
available only with a time lag, the index is issued first in preliminary form, using the latest available expenditure data at the time of
publication, and is subject to two subsequent revisions. Therefore, C-CPI-U indexes for the 12 months of 2008 will be issued in final
form – employing monthly expenditure weights from 2008. Values for the 12 months of 2009 will be revised and issued as interim,
using expenditure weights from the 2007-2008 period. Calculation of the initial value of the January 2010 C-CPI-U index, and all
subsequent months in 2010, will also be based upon 2007-2008 expenditure weights.
For more information on the C-CPI-U, contact Rob Cage by telephone at (202) 691-6959 or by electronic mail at
Cage.Rob@bls.gov .

Expenditure Weight Update
Effective with the release of the January 2010 CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will update the consumption
expenditure weights in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) to the 2007-08 period. The updated expenditure weights for these indexes will replace the
2005-2006 weights that were introduced effective with the January 2008 CPI release. As originally announced by BLS in December
1998, CPI expenditure weights will continue to be updated at two-year intervals.

CPI Detailed Report-January 2010

Response Rates for the Consumer
Price Indexes, 2009
This article and the accompanying tables update articles previously published on response rates in the CPI Detailed Report for
March 1991, and in the January issues of 1993 through 2009.
In an effort to measure the outcome of data collection for the CPI, the BLS calculates response rates. Response rates measure the
proportion of completed surveys to those issued and help measure the accuracy of the CPI. Failure of a data unit to respond at either
the data collection stage or estimation stage represents a loss of statistical information which dilutes the accuracy of the sample. The
BLS publishes response rates annually to assist the data user in judging the accuracy of CPI data.
The BLS calculates response rates for the CPI-U at the data collection and data estimation phases for pricing. The response rate at
the data collection phase is the number of responding sample units divided by the number of eligible sample units. A sample unit is
eligible if it belongs to the defined target population and if it should provide information for one or more items. The response rate at
estimation is defined as the number of sample units used in estimation divided by the number of eligible sample units.
Response rates for 2009 are presented in tables R-1 through R-17. Table R-1 shows response rates for all data included in the
CPI-U, U.S. city average, by major group, for all of 2009. Tables R-2 through R-17 show rates for current data collection in selected
areas for which indexes are published monthly and bimonthly.
The response rates in tables R-1 through R-17 are separated into commodities and services, and the shelter portion of 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-1, it is important to note the relatively low percentages of quotes reported, collected and used in estimation for apparel.
Low rates for these items can be partially attributed to the design of the apparel sample. Because seasonal apparel items commonly
are in stores only during certain times of the year, most of the apparel sample is doubled, with each half of the sample designated for
pricing during part of the year. Thus, at any particular time of the year, a large number of apparel quotes, although eligible, are
designated out of season and are not collected.
The response rates at the data collection phase for shelter are separated into three categories. If useable information is obtained,
the unit is designated data reported. If the assigned unit is located but is unoccupied, the unit is designated found vacant. In instances
where the unit is eligible but no data are available (for example, refusals or no one at home) the unit is designated other.
For additional information on response rates, write to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices and Price
Indexes, Room 3615, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE., Washington, DC 20212-0001, or call Jonathan Church at (202) 691-7000, or
email him at church.jonathan@bls.gov.

- 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.

6 Indexes on a November 1996=100 base.
- 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.
