CPI Detailed Report-January 2016

CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
JANUARY 2016
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged in January on a seasonally adjusted basis,
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 1.4 percent before
seasonal adjustment.
An increase in the index for all items less food and energy offset a decline in the energy index to lead to the seasonally
adjusted all items index being unchanged. The energy index fell 2.8 percent as all of its major component indexes declined.
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.3 percent in January. The increase was broad-based, with most of the major
components rising, but increases in the indexes for shelter and medical care were the largest contributors.
The food index was unchanged in January. The index for food away from home increased, but the food at home index
declined for the third consecutive month, as five of the six major grocery store food group indexes decreased.
The all items index rose 1.4 percent over the last 12 months, compared to the 0.7-percent 12-month increase for the period
ending December. The energy index fell 6.5 percent over the past year; this was its smallest 12-month decrease since November
2014. The food index rose 0.8 percent over the last 12 months, with the food at home index declining 0.5 percent. The index
for all items less food and energy increased 2.2 percent over the last 12 months, a figure that has been gradually rising over the
last several months.

CPI Detailed Report-January 2016

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.

CPI Detailed Report-January 2016

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.
Contact Information
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 Justin
Yarros, Samuel An or Marie Rogers at (202) 691-6968 or by e-mail at Yarros.Justin@bls.gov,

CPI Detailed Report-January 2016

REPORT ON QUALITY CHANGES FOR 2016 MODEL VEHICLES
In accordance with usual practice, most new-model-year passenger cars and light motor trucks were
introduced into the Producer Price Index (PPI) with the release of data for October 2015.
Passenger Cars
The value of quality changes for a sample of 2016 model year domestically produced passenger cars
included in the PPI for October averaged $90.35, according to estimates by the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS). This change represents 18.2 percent of the average $496.44 increase in
manufacturers’ invoice prices for this year's models as compared with last year's models.
The retail equivalent value of these quality changes averaged $94.98, representing 23.4 percent of the
average $405.43 over-the-year increase in manufacturer’s suggested list prices.
Light Trucks
The value of quality changes for a sample of 2016 model year domestically produced light trucks
included in the PPI for October averaged $128.57. This change represents 10.8 percent of the
average $1,194.71 increase in manufacturers’ invoice prices for this year's models as compared with
last year's models.
The retail equivalent value of quality changes averaged $139.15, representing 10.6 percent of the
average $1,313.47 over-the-year increase in manufacturer’s suggested list prices.
The $139.15 estimated retail value of quality change breaks down as follows:
•

$85.84 for mandated and non-mandated safety changes such as improvements to
airbags and the addition of rearview cameras.

•

$53.31 for other changes, such as changes to audio systems, powertrains, and changes in
levels of standard or optional equipment.

For technical information regarding quality changes for 2016 model year motor vehicles, contact
Thaddious Foster at Foster.Thaddious@bls.gov or (202) 691-6443. For general PPI information,
contact the PPI Section of Index Analysis and Public Information, at ppi-info@bls.gov or
(202) 691-7705.
********
Estimates of the value of quality change are based on a review by the BLS of data supplied by
producers for similarly equipped 2015 and 2016 domestically produced models priced for the PPI.
Most of the estimates of quality changes in this release are derived from information supplied for the
PPI for October. These data also form the basis of the new vehicle quality adjustment for the
Consumer Price Index (CPI). However, it should be noted that, effective with the release of data for
January 1999, changes made solely for the purpose of meeting air pollution standards are no longer
considered quality improvements for CPI calculation purposes.

CPI Detailed Report-January 2016

Response Rates for the Consumer
Price Indexes, 2015

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 2015.
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 percent of the sample used
at estimation is defined as the number of sample units
used in estimation divided by the number of eligible
sample units.1
Response rates for 2015 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 2015. Tables R-2
through R-17 show rates for current data collection in
selected areas for which indexes are published
monthly, bimonthly, or semiannually.
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 202120001, or call Bradley Akin at (202) 691-7000, or email
him at Akin.Bradley@bls.gov.

1

Therefore, nearly all eligible sample units have
prices, collected or imputed, that are used in
estimation.

Imputed prices, when used in estimation, are
counted in this estimate. Beginning in July 2010, the
BLS began using rent prices imputed by a noninterview adjustment technique in estimation.

- 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.

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 6,100 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 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.

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 January, 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 (www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisaqanda.htm) and the
Timeline of Seasonal Adjustment Methodological Changes (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.

2015 Series Adjusted Using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment
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.

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 2015, revised seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted indexes for 2009-2014 were calculated and published. For
directly adjusted series, the seasonal factors for 2014 will be applied to data for 2015 to produce the seasonally adjusted 2015 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 82 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. Thirty-two of the 82 components of the U.S. city average all
items index are not seasonally adjusted for 2015.

Contact Information
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 Justin Yarros, or Samuel An at (202) 691-6968 or by e-mail at
