Price Movements
November 2000
During the first 11 months of 2000, the CPI-U rose at a
3.5-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR). This
compares with an increase of 2.7 percent for all of 1999.
The energy index, which increased 13.4 percent in 1999,
has risen at a 15.1-percent SAAR thus far in 2000. In the
first 11 months of 2000, petroleum-based energy costs in
creased at an 18.9-percent SAAR, and charges for energy
services rose at an 11.2-percent annual rate. The food in
dex has risen at a 2.4-percent SAAR thus far in 2000, fol
lowing a 1.9-percent increase for all of 1999. Excluding
food and energy, the CPI-U has advanced at a 2.7-percent
rate thus far in 2000, compared with a 1.9-percent rise for
all of 1999.
The food and beverages index increased 0.1 percent in
November, the same as in each of the preceding 2 months.
The index for food at home declined 0.1 percent in
November. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs
declined 1.0 percent in November. Poultry prices fell 3.0
percent as the index for other poultry, including turkey,
declined 5.1 percent. Meat prices declined for the third
consecutive month; a 1.2-percent drop in pork prices more
than offset a 1.2-percent rise in the index for other meats,
while the index for beef was unchanged. The indexes for
he Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) increased 0.1 percent in November, before
seasonal adjustment, to a level of 174.1 (1982-84=100).
For the 12-month period ended in November, the CPI-U
increased 3.4 percent.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose 0.2 percent in November,
prior to seasonal adjustment. The November level of
170.9 was 3.5 percent higher than the index in November
1999.
T
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent
in November, the same as in October. The food index,
which rose 0.1 percent in October, was unchanged in
November. The energy index increased 0.1 percent in
November, following a 0.2-percent rise in October. In
November, the index for petroleum -based energy
increased 0.2 percent, while the index for energy services
declined 0.1 percent. Excluding food and energy, the CPIU rose 0.3 percent, following a 0.2-percent rise in October.
A sharp upturn in the tobacco index was principally
responsible for the larger advance in November.

cereal and bakery products and for dairy products each de
clined 0.3 percent. The index for fruits and vegetables rose
0.7 percent in November. Within the fruits and vegetables
group, the indexes for fresh fruits and for fresh vegetables
rose 2.0 and 0.9 percent, respectively, more than offsetting
a 2.0-percent decline in the index for processed fruits and
vegetables. The index for nonalcoholic beverages rose 0.7
percent, reflecting a 1.5-percent increase in the index for
carbonated drinks. The index for other food at home in
creased 0.6 percent. The other two components of the food
and beverages index—food away from home and alcoholic
beverages—increased 0.1 and 0.5 percent, respectively, in
November.
The housing index increased 0.2 percent in November,
following a 0.5-percent rise in October. The index for fuels
and utilities, which advanced 1.3 percent in October, rose
0.1 percent in November. In November, the indexes for
fuel oil and for electricity increased 0.1 and 0.2 percent,
respectively, while the index for natural gas declined 0.7
percent. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, prices for fuel oil
increased 2.1 percent; and charges for natural gas rose 2.0
percent, while charges for electricity declined 2.0 percent.)
During the past 12 months, prices for fuel oil have increased
45.2 percent; charges for natural gas 25.6 percent. Charges
for electricity have risen 2.3 percent. Shelter costs
increased 0.3 percent in November, following a 0.4-percent
rise in October. Within shelter, the indexes for rent and for
owners’ equivalent rent each increased 0.3 percent, and the
index for lodging away from home rose 0.2 percent. The
index for household furnishings and operations, which was
unchanged in October, advanced 0.4 percent in November.
The transportation com ponent turned back up in
November, advancing 0.3 percent after declining 0.4
percent in October. The index for gasoline prices, which
declined 1.4 percent in October, rose 0.3 percent in
November. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices
declined 0.1 percent.) During the past 12 months,
gasoline prices have risen 21.6 percent. The index for
new vehicles turned up in November, advancing 0.1
percent, following declines in each of the 3 preceding
months. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, new vehicle prices
rose 0.8 percent.) As of November, about 48 percent of
the new vehicle sample was represented by 2001 models;
in November 1999 new models represented about 58
percent of the sample. As they replace old models at
dealerships, the 2001 models will continue to be phased
in over the next several months, with appropriate
adjustments for quality change. (For a report on quality
changes for the 2001 vehicles represented in the Producer
Price Index sample, see news release USDL-00-331,
dated November 9, 2000.) The index for used cars and
trucks increased 0.9 percent in November. Public
transportation costs rose 0.5 percent, reflecting a 0.7percent increase in airline fares. Airline fares have risen
5.1 percent during the past 12 months.
The index for apparel fell 0.4 percent in November, its
first decline in 4 months. (Prior to seasonal adjustment,
apparel prices declined 0.8 percent, reflecting the dis
counting of prices for women’s wear.)
Medical care costs rose 0.2 percent in November to a
level 4.3 percent higher than a year ago. In November,
the index for medical care commodities—prescription
and nonprescription drugs and medical supplies—rose 0.3
percent. The index for medical care services rose 0.1 per
cent. Charges for professional services and for hospital
and related services increased 0.1 and 0.4 percent, respec
tively.
The index for recreation costs, which was unchanged
in October, declined 0.1 percent in November. Price de

Variance Estimates for Changes
in the Consumer Price Index,
January 1999-December 1999
his article presents variance estimates for 1-month,
2-month, 6-month, and 12-month percent changes in
the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPIU). The estimates cover the period January 1999 through
December 1999.1 Each month the CPI collects prices from
a sample of approximately 80,000 items in 23,000 outlets
around the United States. When computing the CPI, vari
ance is a measure of the uncertainty caused by the use of a
sample of retail prices, instead of the complete universe
of retail prices.
The most commonly used measure of sampling vari
ability is the standard error of the estimate - the square
root of the variance. The standard error of the CPI’s change
can be used to construct confidence intervals, to deter
mine whether the change for a particular CPI series is sig
nificantly different from zero. This information should
help users determine which index changes are significant.
calculated for these intervals in the same way as for
1-month periods.
T
Analysis of findings
Analysis of the data reveals three important observations.
First, the standard errors increase as one moves from the
U.S. City Average to individual regions of the country and
from all items to individual item categories. Second,
standard errors differ between item categories. Third, the
standard errors decrease on a relative basis (standard error
divided by price change), as the price change interval gets
longer.
The primary reason standard errors increase as one
moves from the U.S. City Average to individual regions of
the country is the difference in sample sizes. In general,
smaller sample sizes lead to larger standard errors. For
example, the U.S. City Average-All Items Index is com
puted each month from the prices of approximately 80,000
selected items throughout the United States, and its me
dian standard error for 1-month changes is 0.04 percent.
By contrast, the Northeast Region-All Items Index is com
puted from the prices of approximately 17,000 selected
items, and its median standard error is 0.09 percent. Re
gional indexes have larger standard errors, because their
sample sizes are smaller.
The same effect can be observed as one moves from
the all items index to individual item categories. Again,
the U.S. City Average-All Items Index is computed each
month from the prices of approximately 80,000 selected
items, and its median standard error is 0.04 percent. By
contrast, the U.S. City Average-Recreation Index is com
puted from the prices of approximately 4,000 items; and
its median standard error is 0.13 percent, more than three
times as large. So, again, smaller sample sizes lead to larger
standard errors.
The second observation is that standard errors differ
between item categories. There are two reasons for this.
First, the item categories differ in sample size. For
example, the U.S. City Average Food and Beverages Index
is computed from approximately 33,000 prices each month,
while the U.S. City Average-Recreation Index is computed
from approximately 4,000 prices. Therefore, it is not
surprising that the recreation index has larger standard
errors. Second, there are real differences in item category
price behaviors caused by different selling practices,
seasonal influences, and consumer demand. This is
Presentation of findings
The percent changes in the CPI, along with their standard
errors, were estimated for all 12 months between January
1999 and December 1999. To summarize the results, tables
1V-5V show the median values of those percent changes,
as well as the median values of their standard errors. Table
IV shows this information for the U.S. City Average, and
tables 2V-5V show the information for the Northeast,
Midwest, South, and West regions of the country.
For example, from January 1999 through December
1999, the 1-month changes in the U.S. City Average-All
Items Index had a median value of 0.23 percent. The stan
dard errors of those 12 estimates had a median value of
0.04 percent. Margins of error are usually expressed as a
statistic’s point estimate plus or minus 2 standard errors,
so the margin of error on the CPI’s 1-month change is
approximately 0.23 percent plus or minus 0.08 percent.
That means that in a typical 1-month period the true change
in the CPI was probably somewhere between 0.15 percent
and 0.31 percent. The tables also show median percent
changes and standard errors for 2-month and 6-month in
tervals and for the full year 1999. Margins of error can be
'In 1998 significant changes were made to the CPI’s structure and sample,
and a new variance calculation system was implemented. For information on
variances from 1978-1986, 1989-1993, 1993-1997 and 1998, see the CPI
Detailed Report for February 1991, May 1994, February 1998, and
December 1999, respectively.

be observed in each geographic area and each item
category, in order to minimize the variance of the U.S.
City Average-All Items Index. The Bureau reduces non
sampling error through a series of computerized and
professional data reviews, as well as through continuous
survey process improvements and theoretical research.
especially true for apparel, where it is common for the
prices of individual items to fluctuate by 50 percent or
more each month. As a result, standard errors for apparel
are large.
The third observation is that standard errors decrease
on a relative basis (standard error divided by price change)
as the price change interval gets longer. For the U.S. City
Average-All Items Index, the median standard error divided
by the median percent change is 0.04/0.23 = .17 for 1month changes, 0.05/0.40 = .12 for 2-month changes, 0.08/
1.30 = .062 for 6-month changes, and 0.08/2.20 = .036 for
the 12-month change between December 1998 and
December 1999. This shows that the relative accuracy of
percent changes in the CPI improves as the price change
interval gets longer. On an absolute basis, the standard
errors increase; but they increase at a decreasing rate.
The data presented here indicate that users should
exercise caution when using CPI estimates to make
inferences about index changes for relatively short time
periods, for individual goods and services, and for local
areas. The standard errors of those estimates may be on
the same order of magnitude as the estimates themselves;
and, thus, few inferences about them are reliable.
Replication and variance estimation
An important advantage of using sampling is that the CPI’s
variance can be estimated directly from the sample data.
Starting in 1978, the CPI’s sample design has
accommodated variance estimation by using two or more
independent samples o f items and outlets in each
geographic area, This allows two or more statistically
independent estimates of the index to be made. The
independent samples are called replicates, and the set of
all observed prices is called the full sample.
The CPI collects data in 38 geographic areas across
the United States. The 38 areas consist o f 31 selfrepresenting areas and 7 non-self-representing areas. Selfrepresenting areas are large metropolitan areas, such as
the Boston metropolitan area, the St. Louis metropolitan
area, and the San Francisco metropolitan area. Non-selfrepresenting areas are collections of small metropolitan
areas. For example, one non-self-representing area is a
collection of 32 small metropolitan areas in the Northeast
region (Buffalo, Hartford, Providence, Bangor, etc.) of
which 8 areas were randomly selected to represent the
entire set. Within each of the 38 areas, price data are
collected for 211 item categories called item strata.
Together, the 211 item strata cover all consumer purchases.
Examples of item strata are bananas, women’s dresses, and
electricity.
Multiplying the number of areas by the number of item
strata gives 8,018 (= 38 x 211) different area and item
combinations for which price indexes need to be calculated.
Separate price indexes are calculated for each one of these
8,018 area/item combinations. After calculating all 8,018
of these basic-level indexes, the indexes are then
aggregated to form higher-level indexes, using expenditure
estimates from the Consumer Expenditure Survey as their
weights. Examples of higher-level geographic areas are
the four regions of the country (Northeast, Midwest, South;
West); and examples of higher-level item categories arethe
eight major groups (food and beverages, housing,
apparel, transportation, medical care, education and
communication, recreation, and other goods and services).
The highest level of geographic aggregation is the U.S.
City Average, and the highest level of item aggregation is
Sources of error
One way of analyzing the error in a survey estimate is to
divide the total error into two sources: sampling error and
non-sampling error. Sampling error is the uncertainty in
the CPI caused by the fact that a sample of retail prices is
used to compute the CPI, instead of using the complete
universe of retail prices. Non-sampling error is the rest of
the error. Non-sampling error includes things like incor
rect information given by survey respondents, data pro
cessing errors, etc. Non-sampling error arises, regardless
of whether data are collected from a sample of retail prices
or from the complete universe.
Another way of analyzing error is to divide it into vari
ance and bias. The variance of the CPI is a measure of
how close different estimates of the CPI would be to each
other if it were possible to repeat the survey over-and-over
using different samples. Of course, it is not feasible to
repeat the survey over-and-over, but statistical theory al
lows the CPI’s variance to be estimated anyway. A small
variance, for example, indicates that multiple independent
samples would produce values that are consistently very
close to each other. Bias is the difference between the
CPI’s expected value and its true value. A statistic may
have a small variance but a large bias, or it may have a
large variance but a small bias. For an index to be consid
ered accurate, both its variance and bias need to be small.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is constantly trying to
reduce the error in the CPI. Variance and sampling error
are reduced by using a sample of retail prices that is as
large as possible, given resource constraints. The Bureau
has developed a model that optimizes the allocation of
resources by indicating the number of prices that should
All Items.
Variances are computed with a Stratified Random
Groups Method in which variances are computed sepa
rately for certain subsets of areas and items, and then those
individual variances are combined to produce the variance
of the entire area and item combination. Subsets of items

CPI(A,I,r,t-k) be the corresponding index values for
replicate=r. Most areas have two replicates, but some have
more. Then, the full-sample k-month percent change be
tween months t-k and t is computed by dividing CPI(A,If,t)
by CPI(A,If,t-k)9 subtracting 1, and multiplying by 100:
PC ( A, I , f , t , t - k) =
CPI ( A, I , f , t )
CPI(A,I,f,t-k)

where:

C W ( a ,I,f,t) = ^ C W ( a ,i ,f ,t )

and, likewise, for replicates. The symbol aczA means that
the sum is over all basic-level areas within area=^4, and
the symbol i d means that the sum is over all item catego
ries that are intersections of item category=/ with a major
group.
Then, the variance is computed with the following
Stratified Random Groups variance estimation formula:

where S, N are the sets of all self-representing and nonself-representing areas in the CPI’s geographic sample,
respectively; and A n S , A n N are the sets o f all selfrepresenting and non-self-representing areas within area-A.
The number Rais the number of replicates in area=a.
Finally, the standard error of the percent change is
computed by taking the square root of its variance:
SE[PC(A, I,
k)] = yjV[PC(A, /, f , t , t - k ) ] .
^W(A, /, f , / ) - CW (a,i',f,t) + CW(a,i,r,t)--------- 'J

for self-representing areas. For non-self-representing ar
eas, another replicate percent change for area=a, item
i<zl
C W ( A ,I,f,t) = Y C W ( a , I , f , t )
Every index has a weight W(A,I,f) or W(A,I,r) associ
ated with it, which is used to combine the index with other
indexes to produce indexes for large geographic areas and
large item categories. For example, the weights are used
to combine all 8,018 basic-level indexes into higher-level
indexes such as the U.S. City Average-All Items Index.
The product of an index and its weight is called a cost
weight, CW(A,I,r,t) = CPI(A,I,r,t) x W(A,I,r), and it is an
estimate of the total cost in area=A for consumption of
item category = / in month=i.
For the Stratified Random Groups Method used here,
replicate percent changes are defined as follows: full
sample cost weights are used for every geographic area
within area=A except for one of the areas. In the omitted
area, the full sample cost weight is replaced by a replicate
cost weight. Let the lower case letter a denote one of the
38 basic-level areas included in area=y4, and let the lower
case letter i denote the intersection of item category= / with
one of the eight major groups. Then, the replicate percent
change for area=a, item subset=z, replicate=r between
months t-k and t is computed as:
P C J M r q j- k ) - [
ZCFr(a,i,/,0
CW( A, I , f , t ) = Yj

" Data not available.
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.

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.

Technical Note
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, whereas percent
changes are not. The example below illustrates the computation
of index point and percent changes.
Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are ex
pressed as annual rates and are computed according to the
standard formula for compound growth rates. These data in
dicate what the percent change would be if the current rate
were maintained for a 12-month period.
Brief Explanation of the CPI
he Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the aver
age change in prices over time in a market basket of
goods and services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics pub
lishes CPIs for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Ur
ban Consumers (CPI-U), which covers approximately 87
percent of the total population, and (2) a CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), which covers 32 per
cent of the total population. The CPI-U includes, in addition
to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as profes
sional, 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 physicians’and dentists’
services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy
for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 87 urban areas
across the country from about 50,000 housing units and
approximately 23,000 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 metropolitan areas and every other month in other
areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal
visits or telephone calls of the Bureau’s trained representatives.
In calculating the index, price changes for the various items
in each location are averaged together with weights that rep
resent 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 26 local ar
eas. 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.
The index measures price change from a designed refer
ence date— 1982-84, which equals 100.0. An increase of 16.5
percent, for example, is shown as 116.5. 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 1982-84 to $11.65.
For further details see BLS Handbook o f Methods, Chap
ter 17, the Consumer Price Index, Bulletin 2490, April 1997.

Energy Prices
Prices are usually 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.

table PI.) Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities
greater than one gallon. These prices are converted to a gal
lon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts
for quantity or quick payment.
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). For both utility
services, the consumption ranges specified in table P2 are
the upper and lower limits of the bill sizes priced for the CPI.
The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are cal
culated 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 dif
ferent 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.
The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas,
and for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (shown in table PI)
are calculated from a special price collection program. They
are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Because heating
and air-conditioning requirements vary by geographic loca
tion, 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 time for constant amounts of con
sumption, and to provide continuity with prices of natural
gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with
the unrevised CPI.
Gasoline and automotive diesel fuel. Gasoline and diesel
prices, shown in table P3, are collected at the pump from a
sample of full service, mini-service, and self-service gas sta
tions.
Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some
energy items are as follows, according to the source indi
cated:
1 therm = 100,000 BTU’s (U.S. Department of Energy)
1 kwh = 3,412 BTU’s (Edison Electric Institute)
1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTU’s (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 satisfy the need for local area data. It should be
noted that the average prices for food in this report reflect
Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. (See
108
variations in brand, quality, and size among geographic ar
eas. 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 esti
mated price will be calculated for the missing item and used
in computing the average price. In cases where the propor
tion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is con
sidered 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. More detailed specifications
are available from BLS regional offices or from the
Washington office upon request.
seasonal adjustment procedure called Intervention Analysis
Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Intervention Analy
sis Seasonal Adjustment allows for better estimates of sea
sonally adjusted data. Extreme values or sharp movements
that might distort the seasonal pattern are estimated and re
moved from the data before calculation of seasonal factors.
Since the calculation of seasonal factors for 1996, X-12ARIMA software has been used for Intervention Analysis Sea
sonal Adjustment.
For the fuel oil and the motor fuels indexes, this proce
dure is used to offset the effects that extreme price volatility
would otherwise have had on the estimates of seasonally ad
justed data for those series. For the breakfast cereal index,
the procedure is used to offset the effects of price-cutting
among cereal manufacturers. For the educational books and
supplies index, the procedure is used to account for greaterthan-normal sale prices on educational reference books. For
some alcoholic beverage series, Intervention Analysis Sea
sonal Adjustment is used to offset the effects of increased
brewer’s costs, along with increased demand for specialty
beers. For the nonalcoholic beverages index, the procedure
is used to offset the effects of a large increase in coffee prices
due to adverse weather. For the fats and oils series, the pro
cedure is used to account for lower domestic butter stocks,
lower cold storage supplies, and anticipation of a bumper
soybean crop. For the new trucks index, the procedure is
applied to account for loyalty rebates offered to customers
by American automakers. For the water and sewerage main
tenance index, the procedure is used to account for a data
collection anomaly.
A description of Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjust
ment, as well as a list of unusual events modeled and sea
sonal factors for these items, may be obtained by writing the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices and
Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212, or by calling Claire
McAnaw Gallagher on (202) 691-6968. Ms. Gallagher may
also be reached at gallagher_c@bls.gov by e-mail.
Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
Because different groups use price data for different purposes,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted,
as well as unadjusted, changes each month.
For analyzing general price trends in the economy, sea
sonally adjusted changes are usually preferred, because 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 unadjusted for seasonal variation.
Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted
indexes are derived by the X-12-ARIMA Seasonal Adjust
ment Method. The updated seasonal data at the end of 1977
replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subsequent annual
updates have replaced 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data from
1995 through 1999 were replaced at the end of 1999. The
seasonal movement of all items and 54 other aggregations is
derived by combining the seasonal movement of 73 selected
components. Each year, the seasonal status of every series is
reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of
the 73 components change their seasonal adjustment status
from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not sea
sonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years; but the
seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period.
Seasonally adjusted data, including the all items index lev
els, are subject to revision for up to 5 years after their origi
nal 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
