During the past 2 months, gasoline prices have risen 8.3 percent after declining 17.4 percent from their peak level of March 1981. Used car prices also advanced substantially in May—increasing 1.0 percent. Moderating the impact of these increases were declines in new car prices, automobile finance charges, and public transportation costs. The 1.8 percent decline in automobile finance charges was the tenth consecutive monthly decline. A sharp drop in airline fares more than offset increases in other fares for public transportation. The housing component advanced 0.3 percent in May, following an increase of 0.5 percent in April. Shelter costs also registered a 0.3 percent increase. Within the shelter component, homeowners' costs rose 0.3 percent; renters' costs increased 0.5 percent; and the index for maintenance and repairs, which pertains to both renters and homeowners, increased 0.2 percent. The index for fuel and other utilities rose 0.8 percent. Fuel oil prices were up 3.8 percent in May, after registering declines in each of the preceding 5 months. The May rise in electricity charges was the first monthly increase in 1983. Charges for natural gas continued to advance and have risen more than 20 percent during the past 12 months. The index for household furnishings and operations declined 0.1 percent, following a 0.5 percent increase in April. The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.5 percent before seasonal adjustment in May. The May level of 297.1 (1967= 100) was 3.5 percent higher than the index in May 1982. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also rose 0.5 percent in May, prior to seasonal adjustment, to a level of 296.3 (1967 = 100). For the 12-month period ended in May, the CPI-W has increased 3.4 percent. 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 advanced 0.5 percent in May, following an increase of 0.6 percent in April. For the first 5 months of 1983, the CPI-U rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.0 percent. Somewhat more than half of the May increase was due to increased energy costs. Gasoline prices rose for the second consecutive month and were responsible for the large increase in the transportation component. Household energy costs also rose sharply, but the overall housing component registered a moderate increase in May. Most other major components of consumer spending also recorded small or moderate monthly increases. Table A.

Fruit and vegetable prices rose sharply for the third consecutive month and accounted for about half of the 0.3 percent increase in the May index for grocery store foods. Fresh vegetable prices, reflecting a weather-induced reduction in supplies, have increased 21.3 percent in the past 3 months. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs rose 0.3 percent in May as a 12.0 percent increase in egg prices more than offset a decline in meat prices. Pork prices declined for the third consecutive month, beef prices were unchanged, and poultry prices rose moderately. All other grocery store food groups continued to record very moderate increases or declines in May. The other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—increased 0.3 and 0.1 percent, respectively. The May increase of 0.4 percent in the medical care component was about the same as in the preceding 2 months and compares with an average monthly increase of 0.9 percent for the period from December 1980 through February 1983. The index for medical care commodities, which includes prescription and non-prescription drugs and medical supplies, and the index for medical care services both increased 0.4 percent. Within medical care services, charges for professional services and hospital rooms rose 0.5 and 1.2 percent, respectively. The index for apparel and upkeep advanced 0.7 percent in May, following an increase of 0.2 percent in April. The entertainment index rose 0.2 percent, and the other goods and services component increased 0.4 percent in May. 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 rose 0.4 percent in May, following a 0.6 percent increase in April. The second consecutive large monthly increase in the trans- Compound annual rate 3 months ended May 1983 portation component—up 1.1 percent—accounted for over one-half of the May increase in the overall index. Except for the 0.6 percent rise in apparel prices, all other major categories of consumer spending recorded increases of 0.4 percent or less in May. The 0.4 percent rise in the CPI-W compares with an increase of 0.5 percent in the CPI-U. The CPI-U uses the new rental equivalence measure, which rose 0.3 in May, to measure shelter costs of homeowners. Homeownership in the CPI-W, which uses house prices, mortgage interest rates, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repair costs, rose 0.1 percent in May. Increases in house prices, property insurance, property taxes, and maintenance and repair costs offset a large decline in mortgage interest rates. Announcement to users: 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 CPI-U 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 costs, 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 CPI-U, X-5 are no longer being published. The new homeowners' cost component has been introduced into the CPI-U in such a manner that the indexes using the old and new methodologies are equal in the so-called link month—December 1982. A similar technique will be employed for the CPI-W in December 1984. This technical procedure has been used in previous revisions of the CPI. In accordance with historical practice, BLS will make available to users, for a 6-month overlap period, calculations based on the old method of homeownership. In the case of the CPI-U, the overlap period will run from January to June 1983; for the CPI-W, the overlap period will run from January to June 1985. The new homeowners' cost component is similar to the one used in the CPI-U, X-l, with 4 important refinements. First, BLS has calculated a set of owner weights for the individual units in the CPI rent sample. These new weights make the rent sample represent owner occupied housing and permit the calculation of a rent change estimate for homeowners. Second, the Bureau has augmented the rent sample in order to enhance the rental equivalence measure. This new sampling is concentrated in areas where the housing is predominantly owner-occupied in order to increase the proportion of rental units that have characteristics similar to owner-occupied units. Third, the expenditure weight for rental equivalence, which for the experimental index, X-l, was calculated by means of a short-cut method, has been recalculated using the complex statistical estimating procedure used for weights in the official CPI. In addition, the weights associated with other homeowner expenditures for such things as insurance, appliances, and maintenance and repairs have been modified to be consistent with the rental equivalence concept. This enhancement has improved the quality of the national CPFs rental equivalence weight and provides weights for computation of local area CPI-U's using the rental equivalence approach. Finally, the computer system which produces the CPI each month has been expanded to accomodate the calculation, with complete item and geographic detail, and with proper geographic weighting for the rental equivalence approach. BLS will continue to work on other refinements in the statistical estimating techniques used in the rental equivalence measure. See tables C and D for a description of changes in the index structure. For further detail, see the January or February issues of this report. Table C.

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. 3 Regions are defined as the four Census regions.

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. 51 Table 14.

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 19.

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. 3 Regions are defined as the four Census regions. The population size classes are aggregations of areas which have urban population as defined: 6.1 6.1 4.4 -.2 4.9 3.7 3.9 1.0 3.5 3.3 6.1 -.8 3.9 4.6 4.5 1.5 1.0 1.4 .9 .2 -.2 .8 1.2 .7 .9 .1 1.8 .9 .8 1.4 .3 2.4 A-1 More than 4,000,000.

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. 89 Table 14(0S).

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. 102 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. Index Point Change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change: 236.4 233.2 3.2 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals: Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change: 233.2 0.014 0.014x100 1.4 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 are also used extensively for escalation .S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE: 1983-381-261:508 103 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-ll 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.
