NOTE: The Bureau of Labor Statistics currently is completing a major revision
of the Consumer Price Index. Beginning with release of the CPI for January 1987
on February 27, 1987, the Bureau will introduce revised versions of the current
CPI's both for All Urban Consumers and for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers. The revised CPI's will reflect more current population and spending
patterns and numerous technical enhancements. See page 3 for further details.

Price Movements
June 1986

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
rose 0.5 percent before seasonal adjustment in
June to a level of 327.9 (1967= 100). For the 12-month
period ended in June, the CPI-U has increased 1.7 percent.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also increased 0.5 percent
in June prior to seasonal adjustment. The June 1986
CPI-W level of 323.0 (1967 = 100) was 1.3 percent higher
than the index in June 1985.

store foods also declined in the first half. On the other
hand, shelter costs continued to advance at an annual
rate of about 5 percent. The index for all items excluding food, shelter, energy, and used cars increased at
an annual rate of 4 percent during the first 6 months.
Within this all other items group, however, price
movements for commodities and for services continued
to diverge. Price increases in the goods sector, continued to moderate, but prices for services, in particular
medical care, have accelerated.
The annual rates for these groups during the last
several years and the first half of 1986 are shown below.

(CPI-U)

CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally

adjusted changes
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0. 5 percent in June. This compares with a 0.2-percent increase
in May and declines in each of the 3 preceding months.
Excluding energy, the CPI-U rose 0. 2 percent in June,
the same as in May. Energy prices, which were responsible for the earlier declines, rose 2.3 percent in June,
following a slight advance in May, and accounted for
about half of the June advance in the overall CPI-U.
Substantial increases in prices for gasoline, electricity,
and natural gas were only partially offset by a further
decline in fuel oil prices.
During the first 6 months of 1986, the CPI-U declined
at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 0.2 percent. This
decrease represents the first time that the index has
declined over the first half of the year since 1955.
Reflecting the sharp drop in crude oil prices, the index
for energy commodities—fuel oil, coal, bottled gas, and
motor fuels—declined at an annual rate of 40.2 percent
in the first half of 1986. Prices for used cars and grocery

In June, the transportation component registered its
second consecutive monthly increase, after declining
sharply in the 3 preceding months. The motor fuel component, which had been primarily responsible for the
sharp declines earlier this year, rose 3.0 percent in June
and accounted for nearly three-fourths of the 0.8-percent
advance in the June transportation index. Despite increases in May and June, gasoline prices have declined
22.3 percent in the first 6 months of 1986 and are 31.2
percent below their peak level of March 1981. The new
car index rose 0.6 percent in June, reflecting price increases in both domestic and imported models. This index has advanced at an 8.4-percent annual rate in the
past 3 months, the largest quarterly increase in 5 years.
In contrast automobile finance charges declined 0.9 percent in June and fell at an annual rate of 19.2 percent
during the second quarter. Automobile insurance costs
increased 1.3 percent in June and have risen 14 percent
in the past 12 months. Used car prices declined 0.4 percent in June and were 4.7 percent lower than in June
1985. The index for public transportation rose 0.4 percent in June, the same as in May.
The housing component, which declined 0.1 percent
in May, rose 0.5 percent in June, reflecting a sharp turnaround in the index for fuel and other utilities. The indexes for electricity and natural gas rose 3.7 and 1.2 percent, respectively, in June, following declines in each of
the 3 preceding months. Charges for telephone services,
which were unchanged in May, increased 1.9 percent in
June. A 4.6-percent rise in local charges, reflecting an
increase in the monthly line access fee, more than offset
decreases of 5.6 and 0.2 percent in interstate and intrastate toll calls, respectively. (Local telephone charges
are priced monthly in all areas; long distance charges are
priced every other month in most areas.) Fuel oil prices,
however, continued to decline—down 2.1 percent in
June and 27.6 percent in the first 6 months of 1986.
Shelter costs increased 0.2 percent in June, following a
0.1-percent increase in May. Within shelter, renters'
costs rose 0.4 percent, homeowners' costs were virtually
unchanged, and maintenance and repair costs declined
0.1 percent. The index for household furnishings and
operations rose 0.2 percent in June.

The food and beverage index rose 0.1 percent in June,
after advancing 0.4 percent in May. Grocery store food
prices, which had also increased 0.4 percent in May,
declined slightly in June. A turnaround in fruit and
vegetable prices more than offset the acceleration in
most other major grocery store food groups. Fresh fruit
and vegetable prices declined 4.3 percent in June after
increasing 10.6 percent in the previous 2-month period.
The cereal and bakery products and meats, poultry,
fish, and egg groups, however, registered their largest
increases this year—up 0.7 and 1.0 percent, respectively.
Pork, poultry, and egg prices all rose substantially in
June and beef prices—up 0.3 percent—registered their
first increase in 1986. The indexes for dairy products
and other foods at home increased only slightly in June.
The other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—rose
0.4 and 0.3 percent, respectively.
The medical care component increased 0.7 percent in
June, about the same as the average monthly rate of increase during the first 5 months of 1986. The index for
medical care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 0.5 percent. The index for medical care services increased 0.7
percent, with the costs of physicians' services and
hospital rooms up 0.5 and 0.8 percent, respectively.
The index for apparel and upkeep declined 0.3 percent in June. For the first 6 months of 1986, apparel
prices have declined at an annual rate of 2.4 percent.
Prices for men's, boys', women's, and girls' clothing
and for footwear each declined during the first 6 months
while the index for apparel services increased at an annual rate of 4.1 percent.
In June, for the second consecutive month, the entertainment and the other goods and services components
both registered increases of 0.4 percent.
CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
— seasonally adjusted changes
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers increased 0.5 percent in
June.

(CPI-W)

The Consumer Price Index Revision

The Bureau of Labor Statistics will begin publishing a
revised Consumer Price Index (CPI) with the release of
the January 1987 index in February 1987. As a result of
the revision, both the CPI-U and the CPI-W will have updated expenditure weights based upon data tabulated
from 3 years (1982, 1983, and 1984) of the Consumer
Expenditure Survey, replacing the current expenditure
weights based on 1972-73 data. The Bureau periodically
revises the expenditure weights so that the CPI reflects
price changes of items currently being purchased by
consumers.
The January 1987 CPI also will introduce a greatly
enhanced housing survey which will improve the rental
equivalence measure of homeownership costs in both
the CPI-U and CPI-W. The new housing sample was

designed to represent optimally both owners and renters
in the estimation of shelter costs.
A number of methodological and sampling advances
first introduced in the 1978 revision also have been
enhanced and will be incorporated into the CPI for
January 1987. For example, the selection of the urban
areas and the allocation of outlet samples in which
prices are collected for the CPI were done by the Bureau
with the primary objective of producing the most accurate national CPI possible with the funds available.
The January 1987 index also will be based, for the first
time on the geographic distribution of consumers as of
the 1980 Census of Population. The current CPI uses the
1970 Census of Population. The requirement to allocate
the sample so as to provide the most accurate national
CPI did result in some local areas not having samples
sufficient to permit frequent publication. Therefore,
beginning in January 1987, the Bureau will publish a
number of local area CPI'S less frequently. The areas affected by the changes in publication are identified later
in this article.
Both the CPI-U and the CPI-W published for January
1987 will be linked to the present series of each index as
of December 1986 to provide a continuous series. The
linking will be accomplished by setting the index levels
of the revised CPI with the updated expenditure weights
and samples equal to those published for the present
series in December 1986. Each index will move upward
or downward from the December 1986 level in accordance with subsequent changes in prices.
As in the past, the Bureau will publish selected indexes using the old expenditure weights for 6 months
after the issuance of the revised CPI. Unlike earlier revi-




sions, these overlap indexes will not be based on the old.
samples and will differ from the revised indexes only by
their expenditure weights. The base period for revised
CPI issued for January 1987 will be 1967 = 100, the same
as for the present index.
In addition to the national all-city average CPI-U and
CPI-W indexes, the Bureau now publishes indexes for 28
local areas. In 1987, it will continue to publish indexes
for all but one of these areas—Northeast Pennsylvania
(Scranton-Wilkes-Barre). Because of the requirement to
allocate the sample to provide the most accurate national CPI possible, 14 of the remaining 27 published
areas will have a change in the frequency of their
publication.
Based on the population growth since 1970 and expanded geographic definitions of Consolidated
Metropolitan Statistical Areas issued by the Office of
Management and Budget, the San Francisco-OaklandSan Jose area has superseded the Detroit-Ann Arbor
area as the fifth largest area covered by the CPI. For this
reason, beginning with data for January 1987, the San
Francisco area will be published monthly while the
Detroit area will be published only for even-numbered
months rather than monthly.
Twelve areas now published bimonthly will be compiled on a semiannual average basis. These areas are:
Buffalo-Niagara Falls, N.Y.; Cincinnati-Hamilton,
Ohio-Ky.-Ind; Kansas City, Mo.-Kansas City, Kan.;
Milwaukee, Wis.; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.-Wis.;
Atlanta, Ga.; Anchorage, Alaska; Denver-Boulder,
Colo.; Honolulu, Hawaii; Portland-Vancouver,
Ore.-Wash.; San Diego, Calif.; and Seattle-Tacoma,
Wash. These semiannual average indexes, which refer to
the arithmetic averages of the 6-month periods from
January through June and July through December, will
be published with release of the CPI for July and
January, respectively, i.e., in the months of August and
February. These series will be compiled and published
on their present reference bases, 1967 = 100 for all areas
other than Anchorage, which is on an October 1967
reference base. Also, the Cleveland-Akron-Lorain,
Ohio, indexes will be published for odd-numbered
rather then even-numbered months.
Indexes also are currently published bimonthly for 4
regions, 5 size classes, and 16 region-by-size groups.
Beginning with January 1987, publication will become
monthly; two of the size classes will be combined; and
two of the region-by-size groups will be eliminated.

Area is generally the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA),
exclusive of farms. LA.-Long Beach, Anaheim, Calif, is a combination of
two SMSA's, and N.Y., N.Y.-Northeastern N.J. and Chicago, III.Northwestern Ind. are the more extensive Standard Consolidated Areas.
Area definitions are those established by the Office of Management and
Budget in 1973, except for Denver-Boulder, Colo, which does not include
Douglas County. Definitions do not include revisions made since 1973.

Detroit, Mich, will no longer be published on a monthly basis after
December 1986. Beginning after December 1986, a local index will be
published for even numbered months only.
4
Due to smaller sample sizes in this area, data will no longer be
published on a bi-monthly basis after December 1986. A local index will
be published on a semi-annual average basis.
5
This index will no longer be published after December 1986.
6
After December 1986, Cleveland, Ohio will be published in odd
instead of even numbered months.
7
After December 1986, this index series will be published on a
monthly basis.

Region/population size class
cross classification 8

Regions are defined as the four Census regions.
The population size classes are aggregations of areas which have
urban population as defined:
A-1 More than 4,000,000.
A-2 - 1,250,000 to 4,000,000.
B - 385,000 to 1,250,000.
C 75,000 to 385,000.
D Less than 75,000.
Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes
A-1 and A-2.
After December 1986, indexes for the regions, size classes, and
region/size class cross-classes will be published on a monthly basis.
9
A-1 and A-2 will be aggregated to produce a population size class A
index after December 1986. A-1 and A-2 will no longer be published
separately after December 1986.
NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI
program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national
index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to
substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the
national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than
the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar.
Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider
adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses.

Regions are defined as the four Census regions.
The population size classes are aggregations of areas
which have urban population as defined:
A-1 More than 4,000,000.
A-2 - 1,250,000 to 4,000,000.
B - 385,000 to 1,250,000.
C 75,000 to 385,000.
D Less than 75,000.
Population size class A is the aggregation of population
size classes A-1 and A-2.
After December 1986, indexes for the regions, size
classes, and region/size class cross-classes will be published
on a monthly basis.
6
A-1 and A-2 will be aggregated to produce a population
size class A index after December 1986. A-1 and A-2 will no
longer be published separately after December 1986.

Regions are defined as the four Census regions.
The population size classes are aggregations of areas which have
urban population as defined:
A-1 More than 4,000,000.
A-2 - 1,250,000 to 4,000,000.
B - 385,000 to 1,250,000.
C 75,000 to 385,000.
D Less than 75,000.
Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes
A-1 and A-2.
After December 1986, indexes for the regions, size classes, and
region/size class cross-classes will be published on a monthly basis.
9
A-1 and A-2 will be aggregated to produce a population size class A
index after December 1986. A-1 and A-2 will no longer be published
separately after December 1986.
NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI
program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national
index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to
substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the
national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than
the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar.
Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider
adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses.

Regions are defined as the four Census regions.
The population size classes are aggregations of areas
which have urban population as defined:
A-1 More than 4,000,000.
A-2 - 1,250,000 to 4,000,000.
B - 385,000 to 1,250,000.
C 75,000 to 385,000.
D Less than 75,000.
Population size class A is the aggregation of population
size classes A-1 and A-2.
After December 1986, indexes for the regions, size
classes, and region/size class cross-classes will be published
on a monthly basis.
6
A-1 and A-2 will be aggregated to produce a population
size class A index after December 1986. A-1 and A-2 will no
longer be published separately after December 1986.

Technical Notes

Brief Explanation of the CPI

among cities, they only measure the average change in
prices for each area since the base period.
The index measures price changes from a designated
reference date—1967—which equals 100.0. An increase
of 203 percent, for example, is shown as 303.0. 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 $30.30.
For further details see BLS Handbook of Methods,
Vol. H,"The Consumer Price Index," Bulletin 2134-2,
April 1984.

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 noninstitutional
civilian population; and (2) a CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which represents
about half the population covered by the CPI-U. The CPIu includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical
workers, 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 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
4,000 food stores, 24,000 rental units, and 28,000
establishments—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




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.

Homeownership Changes
The Consumer Price Index (CPi) has been changed to
incorporate a rental equivalence measure of
homeowners' costs in accordance with plans announced
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on October 27,
1981. For the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), this
change was effective with release of the index for
January 1983 and for the CPI for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPi-W), it was effective with the
release of the January 1985 index. The rental
equivalence approach calculates shelter costs of
homeowners based on the implicit rent owners would
have to pay to rent homes that they own. The old
method calculated homeownership as home purchase,
mortgage interest costs, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repairs. The new
homeownership component was introduced into both the
CPI-U and the CPI-W in such a manner that in each case
the indexes using the old and new methodologies were
equal in the so-called "link month"—December 1982
for the CPI-U and December 1984 for the CPI-W. For
more information, see the CPI Detailed Report for
January 1983, pp. 7-13.

Energy Prices
Prices are usually available for the U.S. city average,
28 large urban areas, and 16 areas reflecting the four
Census regions cross-classified by 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 designation NA will appear, NA
will also appear 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, except for electricity, are collected monthly
by BLS representatives in the urban areas priced for the
CPI. Electricity prices are collected monthly on mail
questionnaires by the Department of Energy for BLS.
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.

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
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.
The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural
gas and for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table P-l)
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 consumption amounts
represent those used by a typical residential consumer.
These bills are used merely to track price changes over
time for constant amounts of consumption, to provide
data for place-to-place price comparisons, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity
formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised
Consumer Price Index.
Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil^(hqme^ heating oil) is priced.
Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater
than one gallon. These prices, are converted to a per
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 selfserve gas stations.
Approximate British Thermal 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
calculated each month at the national level and for the
four Census 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, however, that the average food prices
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

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 services, the consumption ranges
specified in table P-2 are the upper and lower limits of
the bill sizes priced for the Consumer Price Index. The
average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are

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 will appear. 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. In cases where
the proportion of estimated prices used to calculate the
average is considered too high, the average price will not
be published and NA will appear 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 BLS Regional Offices
or from the Washinton Office upon request.

climatic conditions, production cycles, model change
overs, 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 unadjusted for
seasonal variation.
Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-l 1 Seasonal Adjustment Method. The updated seasonal data at the end of
1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subsequent
annual updates have replaced 5 years of seasonal data,
e.g., data from 1981 through 1985 were replaced at the
end of 1985. The seasonal movement of all items and 44
other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal
movement of 51 selected components. Each year the
seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon
certain statistical criteria. If any of the 51 components
change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally
adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years, but the
seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that
period. If any of the 51 components change their status
from not seasonally adjusted to seasonally adjusted,
seasonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years,
but not seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before
that period.

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
