November 1990
up at a 2 0 .1 -percent annual rate in the first 11 months o f
1990 compared with a 5.3-percent rate during the correspon
ding period in 1989—was primarily responsible for the ac
celeration in 1990.
The food and beverage index rose 0 .4 percent in
N ovem ber, following a 0.3-percent increase in October.
Grocery store food prices, which rose 0 .5 percent in Oc
tober, advanced 0 .7 percent in November. An upturn in the
index for fruit and vegetables more than offset smaller
changes in each o f the other major grocery store food groups.
The index for fruits and vegetables, which declined slightly
in October, jumped 2 .7 percent in November. The index for
meats, poultry, fish, and eggs rose 0 .7 percent in November
after advancing 0.8 percent in the preceding month. A larger
increase in b eef prices was more than offset by a larger
decline in poultry prices and smaller increases in prices for
eggs, pork, and fish and seafood. The indexes for cereal and
bakery products and for dairy products both turned down
in Novem ber, declining 0.1 and 0 .4 percent, respectively.
The other two components o f the food and beverage index
also changed—restaurant meals increased 0 .3 percent and
alcoholic beverages declined 0.1 percent.
The housing component rose 0.2 percent in November after
increasing 0.3 percent in October. For the third consecutive
month, shelter costs rose 0.1 percent. Within shelter,
hom eowners’ costs were up 0.1 percent, renters’ costs rose
0 .5 percent, and maintenance and repair costs increased 0 .4
percent. The index for fuels and utilities continued to
advance—up 0.5 percent in November—but by substantially
less than in recent months. Fuel oil prices, which had in
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
rose 0.2 percent before seasonal adjustment in November
to a level o f 133.8 (1982-84 = 100). For the 12-month period
ended in Novem ber, the CPI-U increased 6.3 percent.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban W age Earners and
Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also increased 0.2 percent in
November prior to seasonal adjustment. The November 1990
CPI-W level o f 132.2 was 6.3 percent higher than the index
in Novem ber 1989.
CPI for All Urban Consumers
(CPi-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.3 percent
in November. This compares with an average monthly in
crease o f 0.7 percent in the 3-month period ended in October.
The moderation in November reflects a sharp deceleration
in the energy component as a result o f a downturn in
petroleum-based energy prices. After advancing 28 .9 per
cent and accounting for over one-half o f the 2 .1 -percent in
crease in the overall CPI-U during the 3-month period ended
in October, the index for energy com modities declined 0.3
percent in November. Food prices, on the other hand, rose
0.5 percent in Novem ber, somewhat more than in recent
months. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.3 per
cent in November, the same as in each o f the preceding 2
months.
During the first 11 months o f 1990, the CPI-U advanced
at a 6.4-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate. This com
pares with a 4.6-percent annual rate in the first 11 months
o f 1989. A much larger increase in the energy component—

creased 50.8 percent in the preceding 3 months, fell 3.8 per
cent in November. Among other fuels, charges for natural
gas and electricity rose 3.2 and 0 .6 percent, respectively.
The index for household furnishings and operations declined
0 .4 percent in Novem ber, as a 0.7-percent fall in prices for
housefurnishings more than offset small increases in the in
dexes for housekeeping supplies and services.
The index for transportation, which rose 2.1 percent in
October, increased 0 .6 percent in Novem ber, reflecting
substantial moderation in prices for motor fuels. The index
for gasoline rose 0.3 percent in Novem ber, following a
7.7-percent increase in October. During the first 11 months
o f 1990, the index for gasoline has increased 37.3 percent.
Automobile purchase costs rose for the second consecutive
month. The new car index advanced 0 .6 percent in
Novem ber, only the third increase in the past 10 months.
(As o f Novem ber, the proportion o f 1991 m odels in the in
dex was just over 50 percent.) Automobile finance charges—
up 1.3 percent in Novem ber—increased for the third con
secutive month, but are still 1.2 percent lower than at the
end o f 1989. Used car prices continued to fall, declining 0.9
percent in November. The index for public transportation
advanced 2.5 percent in Novem ber, largely as a result o f
a 3.6-percent increase in airline fares. In the past 3 months,
airline fares have risen 8.4 percent.
The index for apparel and upkeep declined 0.2 percent in

November, the same as in October. The November decrease
reflects widespread price declines for all clothing other than
m en’s apparel. The index for apparel services rose 0 .4
percent.
The medical care component advanced 0 .8 percent in
November to a level that was 9 .4 percent above a year ago.
The index for medical care commodities—prescription drugs,
nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 0 .6 per
cent. The index for medical services advanced 0 .8 percent,
with the cost o f professional services and hospital and related
services up 0.5 and 0 .9 percent, respectively.
Entertainment costs rose 0.1 percent in November, the
same as in October. Small increases in fees for club member
ships, participant sports, and admissions to m ovies, theaters,
concerts, and sporting events more than offset a decline in
the index for entertainment commodities.
The other goods and services index advanced 0 .5 percent
in November, following a 0.6-percent rise in October. A
0 .7 -percent increase in the index for tobacco products ac
counted for almost one-third o f the November advance.
CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
(CPI-W)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.2 percent in November.

NOTE: Local area CPI 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: Local area CPI 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.

Technical Notes
Brief Explanation of the CPI
The indexes measure price change from a designated
reference date, 1982-84, which equals 100.0. An increase
o f 7 percent, for exam ple, is shown as 107.0. This change
can also be expressed in dollars as follows: The price o f a
base period “ market basket” o f goods and services in the
CPI has risen from $100 in 1982-84 to $107.
For further details, see BLS H andbook o f M ethods, BLS
Bulletin 2285, April 1988, and The Consumer P rice Index:
19 8 7 Revision, BLS Report 736, January 1987.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure o f the
average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket
o f goods and services. The Bureau o f Labor Statistics
publishes CPI’s for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All
Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80
percent o f the total population and (2), a CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which covers 32
percent o f the total population. The c p i-u includes, in
addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such
as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the selfemployed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees
and others not in the labor force.
The CPI is based on prices o f food, clothing, shelter, and
fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors’ and dentists’
services, drugs, and the other goods that people buy for dayto-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across
the country from about 5 7 ,0 0 0 housing units and
approximately 19,000 retail establishments—department
stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other
types o f stores and services establishments. All taxes directly
associated with the purchase and use o f items are included
in the index. Prices o f food, fuel, and a few other items are
obtained every month in all 85 locations. Prices o f most other
commodities and services are collected every month in the
five largest geographic areas and every other month in other
areas. Prices o f most goods and services are obtained by
personal visits o f the Bureau’s trained representatives. Some
data, such as used car prices, are obtained from secondary
sources.
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 o f the appropriate
population group. Local data are then combined to obtain
a U .S . city average. Seperate indexes are also published by
size o f city, by region o f country, for cross-classifications
o f regions and population-size classes, and for 29 local areas.
Area indexes do not measure differences in the level o f prices
among cities, they only measure the average change in prices
for each area since the base period.
Calculating Index Changes
Movements o f the indexes from one month to another are
usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in
index points, because index point changes are effected by
the level o f the index in relation to its base period while
percent changes are not. The exam ple in the accompanying
box illustrates the computation o f 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.

Energy Prices
Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some
energy items are as follow s, according to the source
indicated:
Price are usually available for the U .S . city average, 28
large urban areas, and 16 areas reflecting the four Census
regions cross-classified by four population sizes. However,
not all energy commodities and services are used in every
area o f the country. Fuel oil, for example, is not a common
heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South
and W est. Where no average prices are available, the
designation n a will also appear 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 w iil 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. Fiiel oil and gasoline prices include
applicable Federal, State, and local taxes.
1 therm = 100,000 BTU’S (U .S. Department o f Energy).
1 kwh = 3,412 BTU’S (Edison Electric Institute)
1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTU’S (U .S. Department o f
Energy).
Food Prices
In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are cal
culated each month at the national level and for the four
Census geographic regions. As a result o f 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 w ill help satisfy the
need for local area data. It should be noted that the average
food prices in this report reflect variations in brand, quality,
and size among geographic areas. Users o f average food
prices should be aware that these differences exist.
Because a number o f food commoditites are not available
in all areas on a year-round basis, prices w ill not appear in
som e months for som e 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 w ill appear. When
a price is not available from an individual store in any month,
an estimated price w ill be calculated for the m issing item
and used in computing the average price. In cases where the
proportion o f estimated prices used to calculate the average
is considered too high, the average price will not be published
and NA will appear for that item in the table.
Because o f space limitations in the table, the description
for each item is abbreviated. M ore detailed specifications
are available from the BLS regional offices or from the
Washington office upon request.
Natural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are reported
in therms, which are a measure o f heating value. Electricity
prices are given in kilowatt hours (kwh). For both utility
services, the consumption ranges specified in table P2 are
the upper and lower limits o f the bill sizes priced for the
Consumer Price Index. The average prices per therm and
per kilowatt hour are calculated from bills priced within these
ranges. It should be noted that bills priced for the CPI are
not only for different consumption amounts, but may also
be calculated from different types o f residential rate
schedules. The average p ric es p e r therm and p e r kilow att
hour are n ot, therefore, generally suitable f o r use in p laceto-place p rice comparisons.
The average prices for 40 and 100 therms o f natural gas
for 500 kilowatt hours o f electricity (table P I) are calculated
from a special price collection program. They are not used
in the calculation o f the CPI. Since heating and airconditioning requirements vary by geographic location,
climate, and weather conditions, it cannot be inferred that
these consumption amounts represent those used by a typical
residential consumer. These bills are used merely to track
price changes over tim e for constant amounts o f
consumption, and to provide continuity with prices o f natural
gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with
the unrevised Consumer Price Index.
Reference Base Change
Beginning with the release o f data for January 1988 in
February 1988, most Consumer Price Indexes have shifted
to a new reference base year. All indexes previously expressed
on a base o f 1967 = 100, or any other base through December
1981, have been rebased to 1982-84=100. Only indexes with
a base later than December 1981 have maintained their bases.
This base change was reviewed by the O ffice o f Federal
Statistical Policy and Standards, O ffice o f Management and
Budget, and is in keeping with the Governm ent’s
longstanding policy to update index bases periodically.
Selection o f the 1982-84 period was made to coincide with
the updated expenditure weights, which are based upon data
tabulated from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys for 1982,
1983, and 1984. The last rebasing o f CPI data occurred in
Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. Prices
are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than one
gallon. These prices are converted to a gallon price for this
program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity and/or
quick payment.
Gasoline. Gasoline prices are collected at the pump from a
sample o f full service, m ini-service, and self-serve gas
stations.

February 1971, when the 1967 base was substituted for the
former 1957-59 base.
Historical data for each CPI series on the new base are
available from the Bureau o f Labor Statistics. For the
convenience o f users, the BLS w ill continue to publish all
items indexes for the U .S. city average, and for the individual
local areas for which CPI’s are published, on their former
official reference base (1967 = 100 in most cases).
Conversion factors and an accompanying fact sheet on
rebasing are available from BLS. Dividing by one o f these
factors w ill rebase the related index series from its current
1982-84 base to its previous reference base. (Users should
note: Because o f rounding effects, there may be occasional
minor differences between the final rebased index and the
result obtained using the conversion factor.)
The estimates were then used to correct the CPI rent and
rental equivalence indexes. Hedonic regressions are statistical
functions that relate the price o f a good to its attributes or
characteristics. For example, a hedonic regression relates
a housing unit’s rent to its size, age, location, etc. By using
BLS housing survey data from 1987 and Census data from
1980, hedonic regression methods provided estimates o f the
relationship between a housing unit’s rent and age while other
housing unit characteristics were held constant. The estimated
relationship was then used to construct the aging adjustment.
Estimates w ill be recomputed annually by using the previous
year’s BLS housing survey data and the most recently
available Census data.
Seasonally Adjusted and
Unadjusted Data
Adjustment of Shelter Indexes
for Aging Effects
Because price data are used for different purposes by dif
ferent groups, the Bureau o f Labor Statistics publishes
seasonally adjusted as w ell as unadjusted changes each
month.
For analyzing general price trends in the econom y,
seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they
eliminate the effect o f 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 o f primary interest to consumers
concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data
are also used extensively for escalation purposes. Many col
lective 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- a r i m a Seasonal Adjustment
Method. The updated seasonal data at the end o f 1977 replaced
data from 1967 through 1977. Subsequent annual updates
have replaced 5 years o f seasonal data, e .g ., data from 1985
through 1989 were replaced at the end o f 1989. The seasonal
m ovement o f all items and 45 other aggregations is derived
by combining the seasonal movement o f 55 selected com
ponents. Each year the seasonal status o f every series is
reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any o f
the 55 components change their seasonal adjustment status
from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not
seasonally adjusted data w ill be used for the last 5 years,
Beginning with the January 1988 CPI, the Bureau o f Labor
Statistics adjusted the monthly CPI shelter indexes for the
change in quality resulting from the effect o f aging on rental
housing. In January 1987, the Bureau announced its intention
to begin making such adjustments, assuming that further
research substantiated the need to do so. The decision to
implement the adjustment was based on extensive BLS
research, in which alternative adjustment methods were
explored and tested. Evaluation o f the research indicates that
an aging effect exists, and that the chosen method is
operationally feasib le.1 The adjustment affects CPI shelter
indexes, which would have been raised by 0.2 percent for
the year 1987 had an aging adjustment been applied.
The quality o f a housing unit decreases as the unit ages.
Existing BLS methods are used to correct for relatively easily
measured quality changes such as the addition o f an extra
bedroom, but such methods are inadequate to correct for
deterioration in the condition o f housing units.2 The aging
adjustment method was specificially designed to correct for
quality changes associated with this deterioration. The BLS
used hedonic regression methods to estimate the aging effect.
1 A complete technical presentation o f BLS research on this subject is available
in W illiam C. Randolph, “ Housing Depreciation and Aging Bias in the Consumer
Price Index,” BLS Working Paper N o. 166, April 1987, and Journal o f Buisness
and Economic Statistics, V ol. 6, N o. 3, July 1988, pp. 359-71 and in W illiam C.
Randolph, “ Estimation o f Housing Depreciation: Short Term Quality Change and
Long Term Vintage E ffects,” BLS Working Paper No. 160, April 1986, and Journal
o f Urban Economics, V ol. 23, March 1988, pp. 162-78. These papers are available

adjusted data for those series. For some w om en’s apparel
indexes and the girls’apparel index, the procedure was used
to offset the effects o f changes in pricing methodology; and
for new cars and for new vehicles, this procedure was used
to offset the effects o f changes in marketing strategies and
the introduction o f new m odels. A description o f interven
tion analysis, as w ell as a list o f events treated as interven
tions and seasonal factors for these items may be obtained
by writing the Bureau o f Labor Statistics, D ivision o f Con
sumer Prices and Price Indexes, W ashington, DC 20212 or
by calling Claire M cAnaw on (202)504-2051.
but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period.
Effective with the calculation o f the seasonal factors for
1990, the Bureau o f Labor Statistics has used an enhanced
seasonal adjustment procedure called intervention analysis
for som e CPI series. Intervention analysis allows for better
estimates o f seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or
sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern
are removed from the data prior to calculation o f seasonal
factors. For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this pro
cedure was used to offset the effects that extreme price
volatility would otherwise have had on the estimates of seasonally
