Food prices posted their largest quarterly increase since the fourth quarter in 1980 and accounted for about onethird of the increase in the overall CPI during the first quarter of 1984. Despite the sharp increase in fuel oil prices and the cost of telephone services, the housing index rose at a annual rate of only 3.8 percent. The transportation component also rose less than the overall CPI in the first quarter, with moderate rises in new car prices and lower gasoline prices being countered by rapidly rising used car prices. In March, the food and beverage component registered a 0.1 percent decline. Grocery store food prices, which increased 2.4 and 0.9 percent in the first 2 months of this year, declined 0.3 percent in March. Decreases in the indexes for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs and fruits and vegetables were only partially offset by small price increases in most other grocery store foods. Beef and pork prices declined 0.5 and 0.4 percent, respectively. After declining during 1983, prices for both had risen sharply early this year. Egg and poultry prices declined 12.1 and 1.0 percent, respectively, in March, after advancing sharply during the preceding 8-month period, as the impact of the summer drought and avian influenza dissipated. Prices for fresh fruits, which had risen sharply earlier this year due to the severe early winter weather, also declined in March. The slight increase in fresh vegetable prices in March—up 0.1 percent—follows a 7-month period in which the average monthly increase was 3.5 percent. Prices for restaurant meals rose 0.3 percent in March, while the index for The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent before seasonal adjustment in March, to a level of 307.3 (1967= 100). For the 12-month period ended in March, the CPI-U increased 4.7 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) was unchanged in March, prior to seasonal adjustment. The March level of 303.3 (1967=100) was 3.5 percent higher than the index in March 1983. The CPI-W is used for indexing Social Security and some other Federal payments. It is also commonly used as an escalator in collective bargaining agreements. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)-seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for All Urban Consumers rose 0.2 percent in March. This advance followed increases of 0.6 and 0.4 percent in January and February, respectively, and compares with an average monthly increase of 0.3 percent since the slowdown in prices began in October 1981. The moderation in March is largely attributable to declines in prices for fuel oil, meat, poultry, eggs, and fresh fruits; these items rose sharply during the first 2 months of this year. The transportation component, on the other hand, advanced substantially in March after recording no change in February. Gasoline prices rose, following declines earlier in the year, and used car prices increased further. During the 3 months ended in March, the CPI-U rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.0 percent, about Table A.

The housing component was virtually unchanged in March, following increases of 0.5 percent in both January and February. The index for fuel and utilities, which had increased sharply in each of the 2 preceding months, declined 1.0 percent in March and was responsible for the moderation in housing. Prices for fuel oil, natural gas, and telephone services all declined, while charges for electricity were unchanged. The 5 percent decline in fuel oil prices, after increasing nearly 10 percent earlier this year, brought the index to 9.2 percent below its peak level of April 1981. Although telephone service rates declined in March, they were still 6.7 percent above their December levels. On the other hand, costs for shelter and household furnishings and operation accelerated somewhat in March. Within shelter costs, renters' and homeowners' costs both rose 0.5 percent. The index for household furnishings and operations increased slightly in March, following a 0.3 percent decline in February. The transportation component advanced 0.9 percent in March, after registering no change in February. Gasoline prices advanced 1.0 percent, following seasonal adjustment, as pump prices declined less than is usual in March. Despite the increase, gasoline prices were still 12.4 percent below their peak level 3 years ago. The increases in new and used cars—up 0.5 and 2.4 percent, respectively—also contributed to the acceleration in transportation costs. Automobile finance charges, however, declined for the second consecutive month and the index for public transportation was unchanged in March. The medical care index rose 0.5 percent in March, notably less than in January and February and the same as the average monthly increase in 1983. The cost of medical care services increased 0.4 percent in March, about one-half the monthly increase earlier this year. December January Compound annual rate 12 months ended 3 months March 1984 ended March 1984 Within medical care services, professional services rose 0.4 percent, while charges for hospital rooms advanced 0.7 percent. The index for medical care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 1.0 percent. The apparel and upkeep component continued its moderate behavior in March, increasing slightly, after registering a 0.3 percent decline in February. For the 6 months ended in March, these costs have increased at a 0.4 percent annual rate. Clothing prices actually declined over this period, but were more than offset by the increase in charges for apparel services. The entertainment index declined 0.2 percent in March. This compares with an increase of 0.3 percent in February and reflects widespread declines, particularly for reading materials which dropped 1.0 percent in March after increasing 2.1 percent in February. The other goods and services component rose 0.5 percent in March, the same as in February. 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 was unchanged in March, following an increase of 0.1 percent in February. The unchanged CPI-W compares with an increase of 0.2 percent in the CPI-U. In the CPI-U, the homeowners' cost index—which uses a rental equivalence approach—rose 0.5 percent in March. Homeownership in the CPI-W, which is based on house prices, mortgage interest rates, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repair costs, declined 0.7 percent in March. Declines in house prices and mortgage interest rates more than offset the small increases in property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repairs. Changes in Frequency of Publication for Local Area CPI's to Begin in 1987 The Bureau of Labor Statistics will improve the sample of urban areas in which it gathers prices for monthly preparation of the Consumer Price Index beginning in 1987. At the same time, the Bureau will publish a number of local area CPi's less frequently. The changes in publication frequency arise from the requirement to allocate the sample to reflect population shifts in the 1980 Census so as to provide the most accurate national CPI possible with the funds available. As a result, some areas will no longer have samples sufficient to permit more frequent publication. The selection of the new sample of urban areas is one of the major early steps in the periodic revision of the CPI. The CPI is updated and refined about once every decade to take account of population shifts and changes in consumer buying habits and to introduce technical improvements. Since World War II, major revisions have been introduced in 1953, 1964, and 1978. The revision program now in progress will result in release of a revised CPI in 1987. The new sample of urban areas will include the Nation's largest metropolitan areas, plus other urban areas chosen by a probability sampling method to represent scientifically all of the remaining urban areas in the United States. The new sample reflects the population shifts of the past decade and, thus, will more accurately measure consumer price movements in the years ahead. In addition to the national index for all cities, the Bureau now publishes indexes for 28 urban areas. In 1987, it will continue to publish indexes for all but one of these areas—Northeast Pennsylvania (Scranton—Wilkes-Barre). Price data will continue to be gathered in that area, but on a smaller scale than currently and publication of a separate index will be discontinued. In this and 63 other urban areas where data are to be collected, samples will be insufficient for calculation of a local index. The new publication plan for local area indexes, beginning with the index for January 1987, is listed below. • Monthly indexes will continue to be published for the four largest metropolitan areas. Because of sample design considerations, the index for the Detroit area, currently published monthly, will be published only every other month beginning in 1987. The areas to be published monthly are: New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT; Philadelphia-WilmingtonTrenton, PA-DE-NJ-MD; Chicago-Gary-Lake County, IL-IN-WI; and Los Angeles-AnaheimRiverside, CA. • Bimonthly indexes will be published, as in the past, for the next 11 largest areas, including Detroit. These areas are: Boston-LawrenceSalem, MA-NH; Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley, PA; Cleveland-Akron-Lorain, OH (will be published in odd-numbered months rather than in even-numbered months); Detroit-Ann Arbor, MI (will be published in even-numbered months, rather than monthly, as currently); St. Louis-East St. Louis, MO-IL; Baltimore, MD; Dallas-Fort Worth, TX; Houston-GalvestonBrazoria, TX; Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL; Washington, DC-MD-VA; and San FranciscoOakland-San Jose, CA. • A semi-annual average index will be published twice a year for 12 areas now published bimonthly. These areas are: Buffalo-Niagara Falls, NY; Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN; Kansas City, MO-Kansas City, KS; Milwaukee, WI; Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN-WI; Atlanta, GA; Anchorage, AK; Denver-Boulder, CO; Honolulu, HI; Portland-Vancouver, OR-WA; San Diego, CA; and Seattle-Tacoma, WA. The Bureau also will continue to publish separate indexes for four regions of the United States and for groups of cities within these regions, classified by size. Minor adjustments in the size groupings also are being planned, and separate indexes for nonmetropolitan urban places in the Northeast and West will be discontinued. BLS news release USDL-84-89 provides further details on the sample change and publication plans. Chart 1.

See Table 29 for additional revised indexes. 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. Table 14.

See Table 29 for additional revised indexes. 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. 63 Table 19.

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," by W. John Layng, reprinted from the Statistical 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. Ginsburg, Monthly Labor Review, August 1978; and CPI Issues, Report 593, (Bireau of Labor Statistics, February 1980). 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 (CPiu) 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 in- 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. Index Point Change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change 2364 2332 32 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change 78 32 2332 0014 0014x100 1 4 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. 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 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 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-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 1979 through 1983 were replaced at the end of 1983. 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 five 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 five years, but not seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period. Homeownership Changes Effective with release of the index for January 1983, the Bureau of Labor Statistics changed the way homeowner costs are measured in the CPIU to rental equivalence. The rental equivalence approach calculates homeowner costs of the shelter based on the implicit rent owners would have to pay to rent the homes they own. The old method calculated homeowner costs as home purchase, mortgage interest cost, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repair. As previously announced, the CPI-W will be changed to rental equivalence effective with data for January 1985. The CPI experimental measures, known as the CPI-U, X-l through CPIU, X-5 are no longer being published. The new homeowners' cost component was introduced into the CPIU in such a manner than the indexes using the old and new methodologies were equal in the socalled link month—December 1982. A similar technique will be employed for the C P I W in December 1984. This technical procedure has been used in previous revisions of the CPI. In accordance with historical practice, the BLS made available calculations for the CPI-U from January to June 1983 based on the old method of homeownership. A 6-month overlap period for the CPi-w will also be made available to users; it will run from January to June 1985.
