Over the last 12 months, the all items index was unchanged before seasonal adjustment. The gasoline index increased sharply in May, rising 10.4 percent and accounting for most of the seasonally adjusted all items increase. Other energy indexes were mixed, with the fuel oil index rising but the electricity index declining and the index for natural gas unchanged. The food index was unchanged for the second month in a row, as a decline in the food at home index offset an increase in the index for food away from home. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.1 percent in May, its smallest increase since December. The indexes for shelter, airline fares, and medical care all increased, as did the indexes for personal care, recreation, new vehicles, alcoholic beverages, and tobacco. In contrast, the indexes for apparel, for household furnishings and operations, and for used cars and trucks all declined in May. The all items index was unchanged for the 12 months ending May after showing a 0.2-percent decline for the 12 months ending April. The energy index fell 16.3 percent over the last 12 months, with the gasoline index down 25.0 percent despite rising in May. The food index increased 1.6 percent over the last year, and the index for all items less food and energy rose 1.7 percent. Consumer Price Index Data for May 2015 Food The food index was unchanged in May. As was the case in April, the index for food away from home rose but the food at home index declined. Four of the six major grocery store food group indexes declined in May, led by the dairy and related products index, which fell 0.7 percent. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs declined 0.5 percent, with the index for beef and veal falling 0.1 percent, its first decline since January 2014. The index for nonalcoholic beverages fell 0.2 percent as the coffee index declined, and the index for cereals and bakery products fell 0.1 percent. In contrast to these declines, the index for fruits and vegetables increased 0.3 percent as the fresh vegetables index rose 1.2 percent, more than offsetting a decline in the fresh fruits index. The index for other food at home also rose in May, increasing 0.1 percent. The food at home index rose 0.6 percent for the 12 months ending May. Four of the 1 CPI Detailed Report-May 2015 six major grocery store food groups increased over this span, led by meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, which increased 2.1 percent. The indexes for dairy and related products and for fruits and vegetables declined over the last year. The index for food away from home rose 0.2 percent in May and has risen 3.0 percent over the past 12 months. Energy The energy index rose 4.3 percent in May after declining in April. The gasoline index, which fell in April, rose 10.4 percent in May. (Before seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices rose 10.5 percent in May.) The index for fuel oil also increased in May, though the increase was only 0.7 percent. The index for natural gas, which had declined 4 months in a row, was unchanged in May. The electricity index declined in May, falling 1.2 percent after being unchanged in April. The electricity index has increased 0.5 percent over the last 12 months, its smallest 12-month increase since January 2013. The other energy components have sharply declined over the last 12 months: fuel oil has fallen 27.6 percent, gasoline has declined 25.0 percent, and natural gas has decreased 15.4 percent. All items less food and energy The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.1 percent in May following a 0.3 percent increase in April. The shelter index, which rose 0.3 percent in April, increased 0.2 percent in May. The indexes for rent and owners' equivalent rent both rose 0.3 percent, but the index for lodging away from home turned down in May, falling 2.0 percent. The index for airline fares, which had declined 5 of the last 6 months, rose sharply in May, increasing 5.7 percent. The medical care index rose 0.2 percent in May after increasing 0.7 percent in April. The hospital services index rose 0.5 percent and the index for prescription drugs advanced 0.4 percent. The personal care index rose 0.3 percent in May, while the recreation index increased 0.1 percent. Also increasing in May were the indexes for new vehicles (0.2 percent), tobacco (0.4 percent), and alcoholic beverages (0.2 percent). In contrast to these increases, the apparel index declined 0.5 percent in May. The index for household furnishings and operations fell 0.3 percent, and the index for used cars and trucks decreased 0.4 percent. The index for all items less food and energy has risen 1.7 percent over the past 12 months, a slight decline from the 1.8-percent increase for the 12 months ending April. The shelter index has risen 2.9 percent over the last year, the medical care index has increased 2.8 percent, and the new vehicles index has advanced 0.8 percent. The indexes for airline fares, apparel, and used cars and trucks have all declined over the past 12 months.

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. NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date. 40 CPI Detailed Report-May 2015 Table 11.

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. NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date. 54 CPI Detailed Report-May 2015 Table 18.

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. Index point change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change 202.416 201.800 .616 Percent change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change .616 201.800 0.003 0.003 x 100 0.3 110 CPI Detailed Report-May 2015 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. 111 CPI Detailed Report-May 2015 A Note on 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 2010 through December 2014 were replaced in January 2015. 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: 32 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 2015, BLS adjusted 33 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.

Metropolitan areas BLS publishes price indexes for three major metropolitan areas monthly: Chicago-Gary-Kenosha, IL-IN-WI Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County, CA New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT-PA Data for an additional 11 metropolitan areas are published every other month [on an odd- (January, March, etc.) or even- (February, April, and so forth) month schedule] for the following areas: 112 CPI Detailed Report-May 2015 Atlanta, GA Boston-Brockton-Nashua, MANH -ME-CT Cleveland-Akron, OH Dallas-Fort Worth, TX Detroit-Ann Arbor-Flint, MI Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, TX Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL Philadelphia-Wilmington -Atlantic City, PA-NJ-DE-MD San Francisco-Oakland -San Jose, CA Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton, WA Washington-Baltimore, DC-MD-VA-WV -even -odd -odd -odd -even -even -even -even -even -even -odd (Note: The designation even or odd refers to the month during which the area’s price change is measured. Due to the time needed for processing, data are released 2 to 3 weeks into the following month.) Data are published for another group of 13 metropolitan areas on a semiannual basis. These indexes, which refer to the arithmetic average for the 6-month periods from January through June and July through December, are published with release of the CPI for July and January, respectively, in August and February for Anchorage, AK Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN Denver-Boulder-Greeley, CO Honolulu, HI Kansas City, MO-KS Milwaukee-Racine, WI Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN-WI Phoenix-Mesa, AZ Pittsburgh, PA Portland-Salem, OR-WA San Diego, CA St. Louis, MO-IL Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL How to Obtain Consumer Price Index Information CPI information is available from BLS electronically, through publication subscriptions, and via telephone and fax through automated recordings. Information specialists also are available in the national and information offices to provide help and to respond to questions. Electronic access to CPI data BLS on the Internet. Through the Internet, BLS provides free, continuous access to published CPI data and press releases. The most recent month’s CPI is made available immediately at the time of release. Additionally, a database called LABSTAT, containing current and historical data for the CPI, is accessible. World Wide Web. BLS maintains a Web site at http://www.bls.gov on the Internet.
