Price Movements
July 1994

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) rose 0.3 percent before seasonal adjustment in July
to a level of 148.4 (1982-84=100). For the 12-month pe­
riod ended in July, the

downturn in the index for apparel and upkeep was respon­
sible for the moderation.
During the first 7 months of 1994, the CPI-U rose at a
2.7-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR). In
1993, the CPI-U increased 2.7 percent. The food index in­
creased at an annual rate of 1.6 percent and energy costs at
a 3.0-percent rate. The index for all items less food and
energy rose at an annual rate of 2.9 percent during the first
7 months. This follows a 3.2-percent increase in 1993 and
continues the moderating pattern evident in this compo­
nent since 1990.
The food and beverage index rose 0.5 percent in July.
Grocery store food prices increased 0.8 percent, their larg­
est advance in more than a year. A sharp rise in coffee
prices and another substantial one in the index for fresh
fruits and vegetables were largely responsible for the in­
crease. Coffee prices rose 22.4 percent, accounting for over
four-fifths of the 2.3 percent increase in the index for other
food at home. The index for fruits and vegetables regis­
tered its third consecutive large monthly increase—up 2.5
percent in July. The index for fresh fruits and vegetables
rose 3.4 percent and that for processed fruits and veg­
etables, 0.7 percent. The index for cereal and bakery prod­
ucts increased 0.2 percent. Partially offsetting these in­
creases were declines in the indexes for dairy products and

C P I-U in c r e a s e d 2 .8 p e r c e n t .

The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also increased 0.3 percent in
July, prior to seasonal adjustment. The July 1994 CPI-W
level of 145.8 was 2.6 percent higher than the index in July
1993.
C P I f o r A ll U r b a n C o n s u m e r s (C P I-U )

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.3 per­
cent in July, the same as in June. The food and energy in­
dexes, which had a moderating effect on the CPI-U during
the first half of 1994, increased 0.5 and 1.8 percent, respec­
tively, in July. Within the food component, increases in
prices for fresh fruits and vegetables and coffee were par­
tially offset by price declines for meats and dairy products.
A sharp increase in prices for motor fuels—up 3.8 percent
after seasonal adjustment—accounted for nearly 90 percent
of the advance in the energy index. The CPI-U excluding
food and energy rose 0.2 percent in July, following in­
creases of 0.3 percent in each of the preceding 2 months. A

for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs—down 0.3 and 0.7 per­
cent, respectively. Beef prices fell 1.2 percent in July and
were 2.2 percent lower than a year earlier. The index for
pork fell 1.2 percent, reflecting smaller than usual price
increases in July. Poultry prices rose 0.3 percent. The other
two components of the food and beverage index—restau­
rant meals and alcoholic beverages—continued to show
little change.
The housing component, which rose 0.1 percent in June,
increased 0.2 percent in July. Shelter costs increased 0.3
percent, following a 0.1-percent rise in June. Within shel­
ter, homeowners’ costs increased 0.4 percent, while rent­
ers’ costs declined 0.1 percent and maintenance and repair
costs fell 0.2 percent. The decrease in renters’ costs re­
flects a 1.1-percent decline in the index for lodging while
out of town; residential rents advanced 0.3 percent. The
index for fuel and other utilities turned up in July, follow­
ing declines in each of the 3 preceding months. The index
for household fuels rose 0.4 percent, as increases in the
indexes for fuel oil and electricity—up 1.1 and 0.6 percent,
respectively—more than offset a 0.1-percent decline in the
index for natural gas. The index for other utilities and pub­
lic services was unchanged in July. The index for house­
hold furnishings and operation was also unchanged in July.
Transportation costs rose 1.0 percent, primarily reflect­
ing a sharp increase in the index for motor fuels. The index
for gasoline rose 3.5 percent in July. (Prior to seasonal ad­
justment, gasoline prices rose 2.6 percent.) As of July, the
gasoline index was 2.4 percent higher than a year earlier.
Automobile purchase costs continued to advance in July.
The index for new vehicles rose 0.4 percent in July and has
advanced at a 4.8-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate
thus far in 1994. Automobile finance charges, which ad­
vanced 1.8 percent in July, have increased 11.7 percent in
the past 4 months. The index for used cars rose 0.9 percent.

Public transportation costs increased 0.9 percent. Airline
fares rose 1.3 percent in July and have now risen 4.4 per­
cent after registering a record 5.4 percent decline in May.
The index for apparel and upkeep declined 0.4 percent
in July, after advancing 0.4 and 0.6 percent in the 2 preced­
ing months. Price decreases, reflecting seasonal sales of
spring-summer wear, were slightly larger than usual and,
coupled with the slower than usual introduction of fall-win­
ter wear, resulted in the downturn in July. (Prior to seasonal
adjustment, prices for apparel and upkeep fell 2.2 percent
in July, following declines of 0.6 and 1.3 percent in May
and June, respectively.)
Medical care costs rose 0.4 percent in July, to a level 4.6
percent above a year earlier. The index for medical care
commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs,
and medical supplies—rose 0.4 percent in July. The index
for medical care services also rose 0.4 percent in July.
Charges for professional services and hospital and related
services increased 0.3 and 0.4 percent, respectively.
Entertainment costs increased 0.3 percent in July, fol­
lowing a 0.1-percent decline in June. Over three-fourths of
the July advance resulted from price increases in the in­
dexes for admissions to movies, theaters, concerts, and
sporting events and for newspapers—up 1.0 and 0.9 per­
cent, respectively.
The index for other goods and services rose 0.4 percent
in July, the same as in June. Increases in the indexes for
educational expenses and for tobacco and smoking prod­
ucts accounted for about four-fifths of the July advance in
this major group.

The following metropolitan areas are published annually and appear in
tables 16A and 23A of the January issue of the CPI Detailed Report: New
Orleans, LA and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL.
Data not available.
NOTE: Local area CPI 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.

Kansas City, MO-KS; Milwaukee, Wl; Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN-WI; PortlandVancouver, OR-WA; San Diego, CA; and Seattle-Tacoma, WA.
The following metropolitan areas are published annually and appear in
tables 16A and 23A of the January issue of the CPI Detailed Report: New
Orleans, LA and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL.
Data not available.
NOTE: Local area CPI 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.

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. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
publishes CPI’s for two population groups: (1) a CPI for A ll
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. A ll 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-classifi­
cations 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.

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.

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
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 b ill 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-conditioning 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

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 w ill be published.
A ll 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.

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 w ill be recomputed annually by using
the previous year’s BLS housing survey data and the most
recently available Census data.

tial consumer. These bills are used merely to track price
changes over time for constant amounts of consumption, and
to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electric­
ity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised
Consumer Price Index.
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 w ill 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 w ill 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 w ill 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

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-A R IM A 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-A R IM A .
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-11-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.

Metropolitan Areas
BLS publishes five major metropolitan areas monthly:
Chicago-Gary-Lake County, IL-IN-WI
Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside, CA
N ew York-Northern NJ-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT
Philadelphia-Wilmington-TrentonPA-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, M A-NH
Cleveland-Akron— Lorain, OH

(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, N Y
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:
