The CPI-U rose to 287.1 and the CPI-W to 286.5 (1967=100), respectively. The All Items experimental measure using a rental equivalence approach (CPI-U, X-l) increased 0.7 percent to 260.6. Compared with their levels in May 1981, the CPI-U was 6.7 percent higher, the CPI-U, X-l 6.1 percent higher, and the CPI-W 6.5 percent higher. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for All Urban Consumers rose 1.0 percent in May, while the experimental CPI-U, X-l increased 0.6 percent. The 1.0 percent advance in the official CPI follows a 7-month period in which the average monthly increase was 0.3 percent. The acceleration in the May index was largely attributable to a turnaround in the transportation component. Gasoline prices, which had declined almost 15 percent over the period from March 1981 through April 1982 rose 0.9 percent in May. Further advances in the housing and food and beverage components also contributed to the upturn in consumer prices. On the other hand, the index for apparel and upkeep declined while increases in the other major categories of consumer spending were less than or the same as in April. The transportation index advanced 0.4 percent in May, following a decline of 1.6 percent in April. The turnaround was due to the dramatic reversal in gasoline prices which accounted for over three-fifths of the acceleration in the overall CPI. Moderating the impact of the jump in gasoline prices were smaller increases in new and used car prices, which rose 0.3 and 0.1 percent, respectively. Automobile finance charges declined for the second consecutive month. Moderate increases were recorded for most other private transportation components. The index for public transportation rose 0.8 percent, the same as in April, again largely due to increases in airline and intercity train fares. The housing component rose 1.4 percent in May, following a 0.8 percent increase in April, and accounted for about one-third of the acceleration in the overall CPI. Shelter costs advanced sharply for the second consecutive month. The index of home financing costs rose 1.7 percent as a 2.6 percent increase in house prices was partially offset by a 0.8 percent decline in mortgage interest rates. Charges for residential rent rose 0.8 percent in May, following a small increase in April. The index for fuel and other utilities also accelerated, rising 1.0 percent in May after recording no change in April. Charges for natural gas rose sharply for the fifth consecutive month while the index for electricity registered a small decline for the second month in a row. Fuel oil prices, which had declined sharply in the 2 preceding months, rose 0.7 percent in May. The index for food and beverages rose 0.8 percent in May, compared with a 0.3 percent increase in April. Grocery store food prices also accelerated, advancing 1.0 percent, largely due to substantial increases in the indexes for meats, poultry, fish and eggs, and fruits and Table A.

Beef, pork, and poultry prices all rose sharply, while egg prices declined for the third consecutive month. All other major grocery store food groups continued to record either moderate increases or small declines. Prices for the other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—increased 0.4 and 0.1 percent, respectively. The medical care index rose 0.9 percent in May, about the same as in recent months. The index for medical care commodities, which includes prescription and nonprescription drugs and medical supplies, increased 0.8 percent. Charges for hospital rooms and physicians' services rose 0.8 and 0.6 percent, respectively. The index for apparel and upkeep declined 0.1 percent in May. A decline in prices for women's and girls' clothing, reflecting early summer sales, was primarily responsible for the decrease. Partially offsetting this decline were moderate increases in the indexes for men's and boys' clothing, footwear, and apparel services. The entertainment index rose 0.3 percent in May, the same as in April. The other goods and services component advanced 0.7 percent, somewhat less than in recent months. Increases in bank service charges and tobacco products were largely responsible for the May increase. 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 advanced 0.9 percent in May, after recording an increase of 0.2 percent in April. The food and beverage component rose 0.8 percent in May, following an increase of 0.3 percent in the preceding month. Grocery store food prices rose 1.0 percent, largely reflecting sharp price increases in meats and vegetables. The housing component increased 1.4 percent, the second consecutive large monthly increase. Shelter costs rose sharply as both homeownership costs and charges for rent accelerated. The index for fuel and utilities also increased substantially. The transportation component, which had declined in each of the preceding 4 months, increased 0.5 percent in May. The turnaround was due largely to the sharp reversal in gasoline prices, which increased 0.9 percent in May. The index for medical care advanced 0.8 percent. The apparel and upkeep component declined 0.4 percent, largely due to a decline in prices for women's and girls' clothing. The entertainment and other goods and services components rose 0.2 and 0.7 percent, respectively. CPI-U Experimental Measure On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U using rent substitution (X-l) rose 0.6 percent in May. The official CPI-U rose 1.0 percent. The large difference in movement in May reflects the different treatment of homeownership costs in the two indexes. The CPI-U, X-l uses rental charges to represent movements in shelter costs of homeowners. Rental charges increased 0.8 percent in May. The official CPI-U employs house prices, mortgage interest rates, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repair costs. This measure of homeownership costs increased 1.8 percent in May as a result of a sharp increase in house prices. Homeownership Changes On October 27, 1981, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced its intention to change the way in which homeownership costs are measured for the Consumer Price Index. Effective with data for January 1983, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPIU) will incorporate a rental equivalence measure for homeownership costs. Effective with data for January 1985, the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) will also incorporate the rental equivalence approach. Details of these changes can be found in U.S. Department of Labor news release 81-506, October 27, 1981. Table B.

Postponement of Rebasing of Consumer Price Index Because of severe budget constraints, the Bureau of Labor Statistics did not carry out the Government directive to rebase the Consumer Price Index and the Producer Price Index to the new U.S. Government 1977 = 100 reference base. Postponement was required Seasonally adjusted percent change from— May 1981 NOTE: See Technical Notes for explanation of homeownership measures. because of the high cost of both the direct production work necessary to prepare the data and the information services to explain the change. No alternative date for adopting the 1977 reference base has been set. All Items indexes on a 1977 = 100 reference base are available upon request from the Bureau. Homeownership Costs The Bureau of Labor Statistics has announced a plan to change the way the Consumer Price Index measures homeownership costs. Here are some questions and answers about the change. roughly 6 percent of all consumers covered by the index. All other consumers living in their own homes are assumed to have no home purchase and mortgage interest cost at all. 5. What is wrong with the current approach? 1. Why is the change in the homeownership component being made? The change is being made to improve the CPI. The cost of owning a home is a large part of a family's expenses. People buy houses to live in and because houses are important investments. The CPI should include the price of the shelter provided by the home but should exclude the change in the value of the house as an asset. The new approach will do that. 2. Will the change result in lower inflation figures? There is no way of knowing whether the new measure will produce higher or lower inflation figures. In the past an experimental measure similar to the one to be adopted rose more slowly than the CPI. 3. Was politics involved in the decision to change the CPI? The decision to change the homeownership component was made entirely on technical grounds by the Commissioner of Labor Statistics. The CPI is widely used to adjust benefits under government programs and payments under private contracts. Any change in the index naturally is of concern to those who have a stake in these payments, both as payers and recipients. Because of these concerns, decisions about CPI measurement are carefully insulated from politics. 4. How does the present CPI measure homeownership? The present CPI reflects the cost of the purchase of a house as an asset. The index includes the net price of the house purchased, the total amount of mortgage interest contracted for over half the life of the mortgage, property taxes, insurance, and home maintenance and repairs. The current CPI represents the expenditures of only those who purchased houses in the base period, From a practical point of view, accurate data needed to support the current approach are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. The scarcity of long-term mortgage financing, the growth of seller financing, and the advent of variable rate mortgages have combined to make the current approach unrepresentative of the marketplace. Furthermore, the current approach is based upon the purchase of an asset rather than the price of the shelter consumed. The index reflects shelter costs incurred only by those who purchased homes in the base period and does not cover shelter costs incurred by others who lived in homes purchased in earlier years. 6. How will the new homeownership measure differ? A.new measure of rental equivalence will be used to represent the cost of the shelter consumed by the homeowner. BLS agents will collect information on rents for housing units that are similar to those that are owned. The change in these rents will represent the change in the amount that a homeowner would have to pay each month to live in a home like the one he owns. 7. How will the change to rental equivalence affect the weight of homeownership in the CPI? Homeownership costs make up about 25 percent of the present CPI. In an experimental rental equivalence measure produced by BLS, homeownership accounted for about 14 percent. 8. How will the rental equivalence measure differ from the CPI rent measure? The rental equivalence measure will consist of rents for a sample of homes for which sample weights represent owned units. Thus, in each sampling area, the housing units will represent the proportion of owneroccupied houses rather than the proportion of rental units. 9. How do other countries measure homeownership? Most other countries use a rental equivalence approach; some measure user cost more directly; and some exclude homeownership completely from the index. The United States is the only country in the world which includes the asset value of a house in the CPI. 10. Why did BLS wait so long to make the change? The CPI is an important statistical series which affects the incomes of a large number of people. It must have public credibility and it must be understood. The BLS raised the measurement issue publicly more than 10 years ago, published papers on the subject, calculated alternative measures, and encouraged public discussion of the issues involved. It took time for people to understand the issue. 11. Why is there so much advance notice of the change? A major change in an important index like the CPI cannot be made without advance notice. Approximately 1 year of notice is being provided for the change in the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), which has only existed since 1978. The CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), however, has been used for indexation since World War I. It is used in a large number of major collective bargaining agreements, many of which last for 3 years. For this reason, longer notice is being given for the CPI-W. Thus, the CPI-U will be changed beginning with data for January 1983 and the CPI-W beginning with data for January 1985. 12. Where can I obtain CPI information regularly? The most comprehensive source of CPI information is the monthly BLS periodical, CPI Detailed Report, available for $20 per year from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.

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 (CPI-U) 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 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. 80 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, (Bureau of Labor Statistics, February 1980). A Note About 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.

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 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 to compute the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-l 1 Variant of the Census Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program. Annual updates replace 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data from 1977 through 1981 were replaced at the end of 1981. The seasonal movement of all items and 35 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 45 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluted based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 45 selected components changes its seasonal status, seasonal data from 1967 forward for the all-items and for any of the 35 other aggregations that have that series as a component, are replaced. Explanation of Homeownership Measures Official CPI-Uincludes five components. The weights for property taxes, property insurance, and home maintenance and repairs represent expenditures of all homeowners in the base period. The weights for house prices and contracted mortgage interest cost represent only those homeowners who actually purchased a home in the base period. Included are the total price paid for the home and the total amount of interest expected to be paid over half the stated life of the mortgage. Current monthly prices are used for each of these components. Experimental Measure X-l: The weight for this rental equivalence measure is the estimate of the rental value of all owner-occupied homes in the base period compiled from a specific question asked on the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey. This covers the entire stock of owned homes. Prices used are the current rents 81 collected for the residential rent component of the CPI. The CPI rent component is designed to represent changes in residential rents for all types of housing units, not just changes in rents for units that are typically owner occupied. The CPI rent component is, therefore, not appropriate for this measure. Experimental Measure X-2: The weight for this user cost method includes expenditures for mortgage interest, property taxes, property insurance, maintenance and repairs, the estimated base-period cost of homeowners' equity in their houses, and the offset to shelter costs resulting from the estimated appreciation of house values in the base period. This measure covers the entire stock of owned houses. To derive the weights for mortgage interest costs and^ equity costs, the total value of the housing stock in the base period was apportioned into its debt and equity components. The debt component equals the amount owed and the equity component is the amount owned, i.e., payments on principal plus appreciation from the time of purchase to the base period. Each component was subsequently multiplied by the average mortgage interest rate in the base period to determine its cost. Prices used are current ones except for the appreciation term which uses a 5-year moving average of the changes in appreciation rates. Experimental Measure X-3: The weights are the same as in Experimental Measure X-2, except that mortgage interest costs are calculated as the total interest amount paid out by homeowners in the base period. As in X-l and in X-2, this measure covers the entire homeowner population. The prices for all components except mortgage interest costs and appreciation are current monthly prices. As in X-2, appreciation is represented by a 5-year moving average of the changes in house prices. However, X-3 uses past and current mortgage interest costs in a 15-year weighted moving average which reflects the base-period age distribution of mortgage loans. Experimental Measure X-4: The weights for this outlays approach include expenditures actually made in the base period for property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repairs. The weight for the mortgage interest term is calculated in the same manner as in X-2. However, no appreciation or equity terms are included. Not all homeowners are represented in this measure because those who made no mortgage debt payment in the base period are excluded. The prices used for each of these items are current ones. Experimental Measure X-5: The weights for this outlays approach include, as in X-4, expenditures actually made in the base period for property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repairs. The weight for the mortgage interest cost term is the same as for the X-3. No appreciation or equity elements are used. As in X-4, not all homeowners are represented in this measure because those who made no mortgage debt payment in the base period are excluded. Current prices are used in X-5 except for mortgage interest which uses the 15-year weighted moving average also used in the X-3. * U. S.
