Price Movements

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) and the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) both increased
0.6 percent before seasonal adjustment in July. The
CPI-U rose to a level of 292.2 and the CPI-W to 291.8
(1967=100). The all items experimental measure using
a rental equivalence approach (CPI-U, X-l) increased
0.7 percent to 265.0. Compared with their levels in July
1981, the CPI-U was 6.5 percent higher, the CPI-U,
X-l was 6.4 percent higher, and the CPI-W was 6.3
percent higher.
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally
adjusted changes
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for All Urban Consumers rose 0.6 percent while the experimental CPI-U, X-l increased 0.8 percent.
The July advance of 0.6 percent in the official CPIU compares with increases of 1.0 percent in each of the
preceding two months and substantially smaller changes
earlier this year. Most of the slowdown in July was attributable to the deceleration in the housing, transportation, and food and beverage components. In particular, a slowing in the rise of homeownership costs, a
smaller increase in gasoline prices, and a decline in
prices for fruits and vegetables were responsible for
the moderation. On the other hand, the index for apparel and upkeep increased more than in recent months.
Other major categories of consumer spending—medical care, entertainment, and other goods and services—rose about the same as in June.
The housing component rose 0.5 percent in July, sub-

stantially less than in recent months. Homeownership
costs, which had been primarily responsible for the large
increases, rose 0.4 percent. House prices advanced 0.7
percent, while mortgage interest rates declined for the
third consecutive month. Smaller increases in the prices
for fuels and other utilities also contributed to the
deceleration in the housing component. Fuel oil prices
advanced 0.6 percent, following a 2.1 percent increase
in June. Charges for natural gas rose 0.9 percent, while
the index for electricity was unchanged. On the other
hand, the index for rent advanced 1.0 percent in July,
noticeably more than in most recent months. The index
for household furnishings and operations rose 0.4
percent.
Increases in the prices for gasoline and used cars accounted for over two-thirds of the 1.2 percent rise in
the transportation component. Gasoline prices registered a 2.0 percent advance in July, following a 5.4
percent increase in June. Despite a 8.4 percent rise in
the past 3 months, gasoline prices were still 7.7 percent
below the peak level of March 1981. New and used car
prices rose 0.5 and 1.6 percent, respectively. Automobile
finance charges—up 0.8 percent—increased for the second consecutive month, following declines earlier this
year. The index for public transportation rose 0.5
percent.
The food and beverage component was unchanged
in July as a decrease in grocery store food prices was
offset by moderate increases in the indexes for restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages. The 0.4 percent
decline in grocery store food prices follows increases
of 1.0 percent in May and 0.8 percent in June. A sharp

decline in prices for fresh fruits and vegetables was
largely responsible for the drop. The index for meats,
poultry, fish, and eggs was unchanged in July, following substantial increases in each of the preceding 3
months. Beef and poultry prices both declined, while
pork prices rose less than in recent months. Egg prices,
however, rose sharply, after registering declines in each
of the preceding 4 months. The index for dairy products which had risen only 1.0 percent during the entire
previous 12 month period, rose 0.5 percent in July. As
was true last month, most other major grocery store
food groups recorded small declines or very moderate
increases.
The medical care index rose 1.0 percent in July, about
the same as in recent months. The index for medical
care commodities, which includes prescription and nonprescription drugs and medical supplies, increased 0.6
percent. Charges for hospital rooms and physicians'
services rose 1.7 and 0.7 percent, respectively.
The index for apparel and upkeep rose 0.5 percent in
July. This compares with an increase of 1.0 percent
during the first 6 months of 1982. Seasonal price reductions were prevalent, but most clothing items registered
small increases, following seasonal adjustment. Charges
for apparel services rose 1.0 percent in July.
The indexes for entertainment and other goods and
services rose 0.6 and 0.7 percent, respectively.
CPI-U Experimental Measure
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U using rent
substitution (X-l) rose 0.8 percent in July. The official
CPI-U rose 0.6 percent. The difference in July reflects
the different treatment of homeownership costs in the
two indexes. The CPI-U, X-l uses rental charges to
represent movements in shelter costs of homeowners.
Rental charges increased 1.0 percent in July. The official CPI-U employs House prices, mortgage interest
rates, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repair costs. This measure of homeownership costs increased 0.4 percent in July.

CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers (CPI-W)—seasonally adjusted changes
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical Workers advanced 0.6 percent in July, following a 1.0 percent increase in June.
The food and beverage component was unchanged as
a decline in grocery store food prices was offset by
moderate increases in the indexes for restaurant meals
and alcoholic beverages. The 0.3 percent decline in the
index for grocery store foods was largely attributable
to a decrease in prices for fresh fruits and vegetables
and a deceleration in meat prices. The housing component increased 0.6 percent in July, following a 1.0 percent rise in June. Homeownership costs increased, but
by much less than in recent months. House prices rose
0.8 percent and mortgage interest rates declined for the
third consecutive month. The index for fuel and other
utilities also slowed considerably. The transportation
component registered a 1.2 percent increase in July, as
gasoline prices rose 1.9 percent. New and used car
prices rose 0.6 and 1.6 percent, respectively. The index
for medical care advanced 1.0 percent. The apparel and
upkeep component rose 0.4 percent in July, following
seasonal adjustment. The indexes for entertainment and
other goods and services rose 0.8 and 0.7 percent,
respectively.
Homeownership Changes
On October 27, 1981, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
announced its intention to change the way in which
homeownership costs are measured for the Consumer
Price Index. Effective with data for January 1983, the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPIU) will incorporate a rental equivalence measure for
homeownership costs. Effective with data for January
1985, the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) will also incorporate the rental equivalence approach. Details of these
changes can be found in U.S. Department of Labor
news release 81-506, October 27, 1981.

Postponement of Rebasing of Consumer Price
Index
Because of severe budget constraints, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics did not carry out the Government directive to rebase the Consumer Price Index and the
Producer Price Index to the new U.S. Government
1977=100 reference base. Postponement was required

NOTE: See Technical Notes for explanation of homeownership measures.

because of the high cost of both the direct production
work necessary to prepare the data and the information
services to explain the change. No alternative date for
adopting the 1977 reference base has been set. All Items
indexes on a 1977=100 reference base are available
upon request from the Bureau.

Homeownership Costs

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has announced a plan
to change the way the Consumer Price Index measures
homeownership costs. Here are some questions and
answers about the change.

roughly 6 percent of all consumers covered by the index.
All other consumers living in their own homes are
assumed to have no home purchase and mortgage interest cost at all.
5. What is wrong with the current approach?

1. Why is the change in the homeownership component being made?
The change is being made to improve the CPI. The
cost of owning a home is a large part of a family's expenses. People buy houses to live in and because houses
are important investments. The CPI should include the
price of the shelter provided by the home but should exclude the change in the value of the house as an asset.
The new approach will do that.
2. Will the change result in lower inflation figures?
There is no way of knowing whether the new measure
will produce higher or lower inflation figures. In the
past an experimental measure similar to the one to be
adopted rose more slowly than the CPI.
3. Was politics involved in the decision to change the
CPI?
The decision to change the homeownership component was made entirely on technical grounds by the
Commissioner of Labor Statistics. The CPI is widely
used to adjust benefits under government programs and
payments under private contracts. Any change in the index naturally is of concern to those who have a stake in
these payments, both as payers and recipients. Because
of these concerns, decisions about CPI measurement are
carefully insulated from politics.
4. How does the present CPI measure homeownership?
The present CPI reflects the cost of the purchase of a
house as an asset. The index includes the net price of
the house purchased, the total amount of mortgage interest contracted for over half the life of the mortgage,
property taxes, insurance, and home maintenance and
repairs. The current CPI represents the expenditures of
only those who purchased houses in the base period,




From a practical point of view, accurate data needed
to support the current approach are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. The scarcity of long-term mortgage financing, the growth of seller financing, and the
advent of variable rate mortgages have combined to
make the current approach unrepresentative of the
marketplace.
Furthermore, the current approach is based upon the
purchase of an asset rather than the price of the shelter
consumed. The index reflects shelter costs incurred only
by those who purchased homes in the base period and
does not cover shelter costs incurred by others who lived
in homes purchased in earlier years.
6. How will the new homeownership measure differ?

A new measure of rental equivalence will be used to
represent the cost of the shelter consumed by the
homeowner. BLS agents will collect information on
rents for housing units that are similar to those that are
owned. The change in these rents will represent the
change in the amount that a homeowner would have to
pay each month to live in a home like the one he owns.
7. How will the change to rental equivalence affect the
weight of homeownership in the CPI?
Homeownership costs make up about 25 percent of
the present CPI. In an experimental rental equivalence
measure produced by BLS, homeownership accounted
for about 14 percent.
8. How will the rental equivalence measure differ
from the CPI rent measure?
The rental equivalence measure will consist of rents
for a sample of homes for which sample weights
represent owned units. Thus, in each sampling area, the

housing units will represent the proportion of owneroccupied houses rather than the proportion of rental
units.
9. How do other countries measure homeownership?

Most other countries use a rental equivalence approach; some measure user cost more directly; and some
exclude homeownership completely from the index. The
United States is the only country in the world which includes the asset value of a house in the CPI.
10. Why did BLS wait so long to make the change?

The CPI is an important statistical series which affects the incomes of a large number of people. It must
have public credibility and it must be understood. The
BLS raised the measurement issue publicly more than 10
years ago, published papers on the subject, calculated
alternative measures, and encouraged public discussion
of the issues involved. It took time for people to understand the issue.




11. Why is there so much advance notice of the change?
A major change in an important index like the CPI
cannot be made without advance notice. Approximately
1 year of notice is being provided for the change in the
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), which has only
existed since 1978. The CPI for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), however, has been used
for indexation since World War I. It is used in a large
number of major collective bargaining agreements,
many of which last for 3 years. For this reason, longer
notice is being given for the CPI-W. Thus, the CPI-U
will be changed beginning with data for January 1983
and the CPI-W beginning with data for January 1985.
12. Where can I obtain CPI information regularly?
The most comprehensive source of CPI information
is the monthly BLS periodical, CPI Detailed Report,
available for $20 per year from the Superintendent of
Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington,
D.C. 20402.

Technical Notes

Brief Explanation of the CPI
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. Effective with the January
1978 index, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began
publishing CPI'S for two population groups: (1) a new
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80 percent of the total noninstitutional
civilian population; and (2) a revised CPI for Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which
represents about half the population covered by the
CPI-U. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners
and clerical workers, groups which historically have
been excluded from CPI coverage, 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 CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter,
and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors' and
dentists' services, drugs, and the other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across the country from about
18,000 tenants, 18,000 housing units for property taxes,
and about 24,000 establishments—grocery and department stores, 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 food, fuels, 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 personal visits of the
Bureau's trained representatives. Mail questionnaires
are used to obtain public utility rates, some fuel prices,
and certain other items.
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 appropriate population group. Local data are
then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate
indexes are also published by size of city, by region of
the country, for cross-classifications of regions and
population-size classes, and for 28 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.




80

The index measures price changes from a designated
reference date—1967—which equals 100.0. An increase
of 122 percent, for example, is shown as 222.0. 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 $10 in 1967 to $22.20.
For further details see the following: The Consumer
Price Index: Concepts and Content Over the Years,
Report 517, revised edition (Bureau of Labor Statistics,
May 1978); The Revision of the Consumer Price Index,

Reporter, February 1978, No. 78-5 (U.S. Dept. of Commerce), Revisions in the Medical Care Service Component of the Consumer Price Index, by Daniel H.

A Note About 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 percent 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 indicate what the percent change would be if
the current rate were maintained for a 12-month period.
