CPI Detailed Report-March 2014

CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
MARCH 2014
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent in March on a seasonally adjusted basis, the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 1.5 percent before seasonal
adjustment.
Increases in the shelter and food indexes accounted for most of the seasonally adjusted all items increase. The food index increased
0.4 percent in March, with several major grocery store food groups increasing notably. The energy index, in contrast, declined slightly
in March as decreases in the gasoline and fuel oil indexes more than offset increases in the indexes for electricity and natural gas.
The index for all items less food and energy also rose 0.2 percent in March. Besides the 0.3 percent increase in the shelter index,
the indexes for medical care, for apparel, for used cars and trucks, and for airline fares also increased. The indexes for household
furnishings and operations and for recreation both declined in March.
The all items index increased 1.5 percent over the last 12 months; this compares to a 1.1 percent increase for the 12 months ending
February. The index for all items less food and energy has increased 1.7 percent over the last 12 months, as has the food index. The
energy index has risen slightly over the span, advancing 0.4 percent.

- Data not available.
NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.
NOTE: Local area 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.

- Data not available.
NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.
NOTE: Local area 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.

CPI Detailed Report-March 2014

Technical Notes
Brief Explanation of the CPI
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time of goods and services purchased by
households. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes CPIs for two population groups: (1) The CPI for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), which covers households of wage earners and clerical workers that comprise approximately 28 percent
of the total population and (2) the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the Chained CPI for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U),
which covers approximately 89 percent of the total population and include, in addition to wage earner and clerical worker households,
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 CPIs are based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors’ and dentists’ services,
drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected each month in 87 urban areas across the
country from about 6,100 housing units and approximately 24,000 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 fuels and a few other items are obtained every month in all 87 locations. Prices of most other commodities
and services are collected every month in the three largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods
and services are obtained through personal visits or telephone calls by BLS trained representatives.
In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights that represent their
importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. For the
CPI-U and CPI-W, separate indexes also are published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross-classifications 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 measure
only the average change in prices for each area since the base period. For the C-CPI-U, data are issued only at the national level. It is
important to note that the CPI-U and CPI-W are considered final when released, but the C-CPI-U is issued in preliminary form and is
subject to two annual revisions.
The index measures price change from a designated reference date. For the CPI-U and the CPI-W, the reference base is 1982–84
= 100.0. The reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999=100.0. An increase of 16.5 percent from the reference base, for example,
is shown as 116.5. This change also can 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 1982–84 to $11.65.
For further details, visit the CPI homepage on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/cpi or contact our CPI Information and Analysis
Section at (202) 691-7000.

Calculating index changes
Movements of the indexes from one month to another usually are 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, whereas percent changes are not. The
example shown in the box on this page 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.

CPI Detailed Report-March 2014

Regions defined
The states in the four regions are listed below.
The Northeast--Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and
Vermont.
The Midwest--Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and
Wisconsin.
The South--Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
The West--Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and
Wyoming.

Energy prices
Prices usually are available for the U.S. city average, 13 large metropolitan areas, the 4 census regions, 3 size classifications, and
10 areas reflecting the 4 census regions cross-classified by the 3 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 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 will be published.
All 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.
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). It should be noted that bills priced for the CPI not only are 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.
Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than 1 gallon.
These prices are converted to a gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity or quick payment.
Gasoline and automotive diesel fuel. Gasoline and diesel prices, shown in table P3, are collected at the pump from a sample of
full service, miniservice, and self-service gas stations. Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as
follows, according to the source indicated:
1 therm = 100,000 BTUs (U.S. Department of Energy)
1 kwh = 3,412 BTUs (Edison Electric Institute)
1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTUs (U.S. Department of Energy)

Food and beverage prices
Actual weighted average prices for food and beverages are calculated each month at the national level and for the four census
geographic regions, as shown in table P4. 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 to satisfy the
need for local area data. It should be noted that the average prices for food 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 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, an estimated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. For cases in which the
proportion 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. Detailed specifications are available from
BLS information offices or from the Washington office, upon request.

CPI Detailed Report-March 2014

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 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 before adjustment for seasonal variation.
Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-13ARIMA-SEATS Seasonal Adjustment
Method. Seasonally adjusted indexes and seasonal factors are computed annually. Each year, the last five years of seasonally adjusted
data are revised. Data from January 2009 through December 2013 were replaced in January 2014. Exceptions to the usual revision
schedule were: the updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977; and, in January 2002, dependently
seasonally adjusted series were revised for January 1987-December 2001 as a result of a change in the aggregation weights for
dependently adjusted series. For further information, please see “Aggregation of Dependently Adjusted Seasonally Adjusted Series,” in
the October 2001 issue of the CPI Detailed Report.
Effective with the publication of data from January 2006 through December 2010 in January 2011, the Video and audio series and
the Information technology, hardware and services series were changed from independently adjusted to dependently adjusted. This
resulted in an increase in the number of seasonal components used in deriving seasonal movement of the All items and 64 other lower
level aggregations, from 73 for the publication of January 1998 through December 2005 data to 82 for the publication of seasonally
adjusted data for January 2006 and later. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical
criteria. If any of the 82 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not
seasonally adjusted data will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last five years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes
before that period will not be changed. Note: 35 of the 82 components are not seasonally adjusted for 2014.
Seasonally adjusted data, including the all items index levels, are subject to revision for up to five years after their original release.
For this reason, BLS advises against the use of these data in escalation agreements.
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 Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment
allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern
are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. Beginning with the calculation of seasonal factors for
1996, X-12-ARIMA software was used for Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment. In 2014, for the 2009-2013 revisions, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics began using X-13ARIMA-SEATS to perform the seasonal adjustment of CPI series, including Intervention Analysis
Seasonal Adjustment for certain series.
For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2014, BLS adjusted 31 series using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment,
including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels, electricity and vehicles. For example, this procedure was used for the Motor
fuel series to offset the effects of events such as the response in crude oil markets to the worldwide economic downturn in 2008.
For a complete list of Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment series and explanations, please refer to the article “Intervention
Analysis Seasonal Adjustment”, located on our website at http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.htm.
