NOTE: Effective with the release of the Janaury 1988 CPI, the official reference base
will be changed from 1967 = 100 to 1982-84=100. See page 6.
As noted earlier, since release of the January 1987 index, the Consumer Price Indexes
have been calculated on a revised basis, using 1982-84 expenditure patterns and updated
population weights. In addition, a number of technical improvements have been made.
Over the next 2 years, additional improvements also will be introduced. See page 5 for
more revision information.

Price Movements
June 1987

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) rose 0.4 percent before seasonal adjustment in June
to a level of 340.1 (1967 = 100). For the 12-month period
ended in June, the CPI-U has increased 3.7 percent.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also rose 0.4 percent in June, prior
to seasonal adjustment. The June 1987 CPi-w level of 334.9
(1967 = 100) was 3.7 percent higher than the index in June
1986.

CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPi-u rose 0.4 percent in June, about the same as in each of the preceding 4
months. Advances in food and energy prices accounted for
more than 60 percent of the increase in the overall June CPI.
The 0.7-percent rise in the food index was largely due to
further increases in prices for beef, pork, and fresh fruits
and vegetables. Energy costs, which had risen substantially
in each of the first 3 months of 1987 before subsiding in April
and May, rose 1.5 percent in June, primarily reflecting
increases in the indexes for electricity and gasoline. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U increased 0.2 percent in June.
This compares with an average monthly increase of 0.4 percent in the first 5 months of the year.
During the first 6 months of 1987, the CPI-U rose at a
seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of 5.4 percent. The
rate of increase slowed from 6.2 percent in the first quarter
to 4.6 percent in the second quarter. The 5.4-percent rate
during the first half of 1987 compares with a 1.1-percent
increase in 1986 and advances of about 4 percent in each

of the preceding 4 years. The sharp turnaround in energy
prices—up at an annual rate of 16.7 percent in the first half
of 1987 after declining 19.7 percent in 1986—was the
primary factor in the larger increase in the overall index in
the first half. The CPI excluding energy also rose at a more
rapid pace in the first 6 months of 1987. Prices for nonfoodnonenergy commodities picked up quite rapidly with the
largest advances being for clothing and used cars. The
indexes for food and shelter each advanced at a somewhat
faster rate during the first half of 1987 than in the preceding
year. Charges for other services, however, slowed down in
the first half of the year. The annual rates for these groups
during the last several years and the first half of 1987 are
shown below.

The food and beverage index rose 0.7 percent in June following a 0.6-percent increase in May. Grocery store food
prices advanced 0.8 percent in June, reflecting sharp
increases in the indexes for meat, poultry, fish, and eggs and
fruits and vegetables. Beef and pork prices advanced 2.1 and
2.3 percent, respectively. In the past 12 months, beef prices
have risen 12.3 percent and pork prices, 15.8 percent. On
the other hand, poultry prices—down 1.0 percent in Junedeclined for the tenth consecutive month. Prices for fresh
fruits and vegetables, on average, rose 3.9 percent in June
and 19.5 percent in the past 12 months. Prices for other
grocery store food groups were, on average, unchanged in
June with a slight increase in prices for cereal and bakery
products offset by a 0.2-percent decline in the index for dairy
products. The other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—both
increased 0.5 percent.
Housing costs rose 0.3 percent in June following a
0.2-percent increase in May. The indexes for fuel and other
utilities and household furnishings and operations, which
were unchanged in May, advanced 0.8 and 0.2 percent,
respectively, in June. The index for electricity rose 2.5 percent. Charges for natural gas increased 0.4 percent following seasonal adjustment. Despite the June advances, the
indexes for electricity and natural gas were both lower than
in June 1986. Fuel oil prices declined 0.3 percent in June,
but have increased 17.9 percent in thefirst6 months of 1987.
However, as of June these prices were 31.6 percent lower
than their peak level of April 1981. Among other utilities,
the index for telephone services declined 0.7 percent in June,
reflecting declines in charges for local and intrastate toll calls.
Shelter costs continued to slow in June, increasing 0.2 percent. Within shelter, renters' costs rose 0.4 percent;
homeowners' costs, 0.1 percent; and maintenance and repair
costs, 0.8 percent.
The transportation index rose 0.5 percent in June following a 0.3-percent increase in May. Prices for motor fuels
advanced 1.3 percent in June, after registering their smallest
increase this year in May. Gasoline prices have increased
16.4 percent in the first 6 months of 1987, but remain well

below—29.2 percent as of June—their peak level of March
1981. Used car prices continued to advance, increasing 1.1
percent in June and 8.3 percent in thefirst6 months of 1987.
New car prices rose 0.4 percent in June and 0.5 percent so
far in 1987. The index for automobile finance charges
registered its second consecutive increase—up 1.3 percent
in June—after declining sharply earlier this year. The cost
of automobile insurance, after advancing at double-digit rates
in 1985 and 1986, continued its more moderate behavior in
1987, increasing 0.6 percent in June and at a 6.8-percent
annual rate in the first 6 months. The index for public transportation recorded its third consecutive decline, again due
to a drop in airline fares.
The index for apparel and upkeep declined 0.8 percent in
June after advancing 4.6 percent in thefirst5 months of 1987.
Larger than usual end-of-season price reductions, particularly for women's and girls' apparel, were responsible for
the June decline.
The medical care component advanced 0.7 percent in June
to a level 6.8 percent above a year ago. In June, the index
for medical care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—increased 0.9 percent. The index for medical care services rose 0.6 percent,
with the cost of professional services up 0.7 percent and
hospital and related services up 0.8 percent.
Entertainment costs continued to advance moderately,
increasing 0.1 percent in June and at a 3.3-percent annual
rate in the first 6 months of 1987.
The index for other goods and services rose 0.6 percent
in June, the same as in May, and has increased at an
8.0-percent annual rate so far this year. Prices for tobacco
and smoking products increased 0.5 percent in June and at
an 8.6-percent annual rate in 1987.

CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
(CPI-W)

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.4 percent in June.

CPI (old series)
For the first 6 months of 1987, BLS has continued to
calculate the old series CPI-U and old series CPI-W based on
the 1972-73 expenditure patterns used in the CPifrom 1978




through 1986. This will be the last month for which these
data are published. The latest old series data are contained
in tables OS-1 through OS-4. In June, the old series CPI-U
and the old series CPI-W both increased 0.6 percent. (These
series are not seasonally adjusted.)

Consumer Price Index Revision

The Bureau of Labor. Statistics introduced 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 CPiw now use updated expenditure
weights based upon data tabulated from 3 years (1982, 1983
and 1984) of the Consumer Expenditure Surveys, replacing
the old 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.
A greatly enhanced housing survey designed to improve
the rental equivalence measure of homeownership costs in
both the CPI-U and CPiw was introduced with release of the
January 1987 CPI. The selection of the new housing sample
is structured to represent optimally both owners and renters
in the estimation of shelter costs.
In addition, a number of methodological and sampling
advances first introduced in the 1978 revision were enhanced
and 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 CPI revision was begun as a 5-year project in 1984. In
addition to the new expenditure weights and enhancements
introduced with the January 1987 CPI, other technical
improvements will be introduced over the next 2 years. (See,
for example, "Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging
Effects," page 5.)
Also, the January 1987 index was based for the first time
on the geographic distribution of consumers as of the 1980
Census of Population. The previous CPI used the 1970
Census of Population. The requirement to allocate the
sample so as to provide the most accurate national CPI has
resulted in some local areas not having samples sufficient
to permit frequent publication. Therefore, effective with
release of the data for January 1987, a number of local area
CPl's are now published less frequently. The areas affected
by the changes in publication are identified later in this article.
Both of the CPl's are linked to the indexes for December
1986 to provide a continuous series. The linking was
accomplished by setting the index levels of the revised CPI,
with the updated expenditure weights and samples,equal to
the index levels published for the previous series in December
1986. Each index has been moved upward or downward from
the December 1986 level in accordance with subsequent
changes in prices.
As in the past, the Bureau is publishing selected indexes
using the old expenditure weights for 6 months after the
issuance of the revised CPI. In order to conserve resources,




the overlap indexes will differ from the revised indexes
only in their expenditure weights. Unlike earlier revisions,
the overlap indexes are not based on the old sample of items
and outlets. The reference base period for revised CPI indexes
issued for January 1987 is 1967 = 100, the same as for the
previous indexes: As described below, this reference base
period will be changed to 1982-84=100 effective with the
CPI for January 1988.
In addition to the national all-city average CPIU and CPiw
indexes, the Bureau previously published indexes for 28 local
areas. In 1987, the Bureau is publishing indexes for all but
one of these areas—Northeast Pennsylvania (ScrantonWilkes-Barre). Because of the requirement to allocate the
sample to provide the most accurate national CPI possible,
however, 14 of the remaining 27 published areas have had
a change in the frequency of their publication.
Based on population growth since 1970 and the expanded
definitions of the Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas
issued by the Office of Management and Budget, the San
Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area has replaced the DetroitAnn Arbor area as the fifth largest area covered by CPI
indexes. For that reason, the San Francisco area is now
published monthly while the Detroit area is published only
for even-numbered months rather than monthly.
Indexes for 12 areas previously published bimonthly are
now 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.
The semiannual average indexes, which refer to the
arithmetic averages of the 6-month periods from January
through June and July through December, are published with
release of the CPI for July and January, respectively, i.e.,
in the months of August and February. These series are compiled and published on their previous reference bases,
1967 = 100 for all areas other than Anchorage, which is on
an October 1967 reference base. Also, the Cleveland-AkronLorain, Ohio, indexes are now published for odd-numbered
rather than even-numbered months.
Indexes were previously published bimonthly for 4 regions,
5 size classes, and 16 region-by-size groups. Beginning with
January 1987, publication of these indexes is monthly; two
of the size classes have been combined and two of the regionby-size groups (nonmetropolitan areas in the West and in the
East) were eliminated.
Additional details on the revision are available from BLS.

Adjustment of Shelter Indexes
for Aging Effects

Recent Bureau of Labor Statistics research demonstrates
that the CPi's for residential rent and owners' equivalent rent
should be adjusted for the effects of the aging of the housing
units. Currently the BLSdoes not adjust for the fact that, on
average, houses amd apartments depreciate slowly through
time. If the results from the revised shelter survey confirm




this initial result, then an aging adjustment will be introduced
with the CPI for January 1988. (The research results indicate
that annual changes for the residential rent and owners'
equivalent rent indexes would be about 0.3 percent larger
if aging adjustments were included.) The basic research
papers on this topic are available from the BLS.

Consumer Price Indexes Will Shift
to New Reference Base in 1988

Beginning with the release of data for January 1988 in
February 1988, most Consumer Price Indexes will shift to
a new reference base year. All indexes currently expressed
on a base of 1967 = 100, or any other base through December
1981, will be rebased to 1982-84 = 100. Only indexes with
a base later than December 1981 will keep their current
bases. This base change was reviewed by the Office of
Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, Office of Management and Budget, and is in keeping with its longstanding
policy to update index bases periodically. Selection of the
1982-84 period was made to coincide with the updated
expenditure weights, which are based upon data tabulated
from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys for 1982, 1983,
and 1984. The last rebasing of CPldata occurred in February
1971, when the current 1967 base was substituted for the
former 1957-59 base. Historical data for each CPI series on
the new base will be available from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. For the convenience of users, BLS will continue




to publish all items indexes for the U.S. city average, and
for the individual local areas for which CPl's are published,
on their former official reference base (1967 = 100 in most
cases).
Conversion factors will also be available from BLS. Multiplication by one of these factors will rebase the related index series from its current base to a 1982-84 reference base.
To help users in planning for this change, BLS is supplying
the conversion factors for the U.S. City Average All Items
CPi-u and CPI-W at this time; they are .3338279 and
.3357176, respectively. As an example, the 1967= 100-based
U.S. City Average All Items CPi-u and CPI-W for January
1987 are 333.1 and 327.7 respectively. When multiplied by
the appropriate rebasing factor, these indexes become 111.2
and 110.0, respectively, on a 1982-84=100 base. (Users
should note: Because of rounding effects, there may be occasional minor differences between the final rebased index
and the result obtained using the conversion factor).

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.

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.

D Less than 75,000.
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.

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 CPl's for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All
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 percent of the total population. The CPI-U includes, in addition
to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as professional, 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, 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 91 urban areas across the country from about 60,000 housing units
and approximately 21,000 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 food, fuels, and a few other items
are obtained every month in all 91 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 calculations
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 only measure the average change in prices
for each area since the base period.




The indexes measures price change 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.
II, "The Consumer Price Index," Bulletin 2134-2, April
1984 and "The Consumer Price Index: 1987 Revision, "BLS
Report 736, January 1987.

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

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.

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 'Mink 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.

Fuel oil. 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 per
gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity and/or quick payment.

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 Sputh 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.

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

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 y e a r such as price movements resulting from changing climatic
conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays,
and sales.
The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers
concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data
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 unadjusted for seasonal variation.
Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted
indexes are derived by the X-11 ARIMA 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 1982
through 1986 were replaced at the end of 1986. The seasonal
movement of all items and 43 other aggregations is derived
by combining the seasonal movement of 50 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is
reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of
the 50 components change their st? us from not seasonally
adjusted to seasonally adjusted, seasonally adjusted indexes
will be used before the period.

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 Washington Office upon request.

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.
