Price Movements
October 1983
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) increased 0.3 percent before seasonal adjustment in October. The October level of 302.6 (1967 = 100)
was 2.9 percent higher than the index in October 1982.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose 0.2 percent in October, prior to seasonal adjustment, to a level of 301.3
(1967=100). For the 12-month period ended in October, the CPI-W has increased 2.6 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 rose 0.4 percent in October, about the
same as the average monthly increase during the preceding 6-month period. The transportation component,
which advanced less than in September, accounted for
about one-third of the overall increase in the October
CPI. The continued advance in prices for motor vehicles was only partially offset by the decline in gasoline
prices. Energy prices also contributed to the smaller
increase for the housing component. On the other hand,
the entertainment and other goods and services components posted larger increases than in September. The
food, medical care, and apparel and upkeep indexes
registered about the same change in October as in the
preceding month.
The transportation component advanced 0.6 percent
in October, following increases of 1.0 and 0.8 percent
in the 2 preceding months. New and used car prices
rose 0.7 and 2.1 percent, respectively, and accounted
for over four-fifths of the transportation increase. The
higher-priced 1984 model new cars are being purchased
(and therefore included in the CPI) at a faster rate relative to last year's models than has been the case in recent years. (For a report on quality change for 1984
cars, see news release USDL 83-488, dated November
10, 1983.) Used car prices have risen sharply in each of
the last 6 months, increasing at an annual rate of over
20 percent. Among other automotive expenses, the cost
of automobile insurance rose 1.8 percent while automobile finance charges increased 0.5 percent. Finance
charges have increased 3.6 percent over the past 3
months after declining 21.6 percent in the 12 months
ended in July. The index for public transportation rose
0.4 percent, largely due to increases in airline fares and
intercity bus fares. In contrast, gasoline prices registered their first decline in 7 months—down 0.4 percent
in October. Despite the sharp advances from April
through September—increasing at an annual rate of 23.8
percent—gasoline prices in October were 8.4 percent
below their peak level of March 1981.
The food and beverage component advanced 0.5 percent in October, following an increase of 0.4 percent

in September. A sharp increase in prices for fresh fruits
and vegetables accounted for over one-half of the 0.4
percent increase in the grocery store food index in October. Fresh vegetable prices, in particular, rose
sharply—up 4.3 percent—reflecting supply shortages
related to adverse weather and decreased acreage. The
index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs rose slightly,
recording its first increase since May, largely because
of a 5.7 percent jump in egg prices. Pork and poultry
prices declined, while the index for beef and veal, following seasonal adjustment, registered its first increase
since April. The other foods at home category increased
0.5 percent, as prices for fats and oils and non-alcoholic
beverages rose sharply. Prices for cereal and bakery
products advanced slightly while the index for dairy
products was unchanged for the second consecutive
month. The other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—increased 0.6 and 0.2 percent, respectively.
The housing component rose 0.2 percent in October,
following an increase of 0.5 percent in September. The
index for fuel and utilities, which had increased 0.7 percent in September, declined slightly in October. Declines in charges for natural gas and telephone services
more than offset increases in prices for other fuels and
water and sewerage services. Natural gas prices declined at an annual rate of 4.6 percent in the 5 months
ended in October. The index had risen at a 22.5 percent
annual rate between August 1981 and May 1983. Shelter costs rose 0.4 percent, with both renters' and
homeowners' costs up 0.4 percent. The index for maintenance and repairs, which pertains to both renters and
homeowners, increased substantially—up 1.3 percent.
The index for household furnishings and operations rose
0.2 percent in October, the same as in September.
The medical care component rose 0.4 percent in October, continuing the more moderate rate evident since

October
March. The index for medical care commodities, which
includes prescription drugs and non-prescription drugs
and medical supplies, increased 0.8 percent. The cost
of medical care services advanced 0.3 percent. Charges
for professional services and hospital rooms rose 0.6
and 0.5 percent, respectively.
The index for apparel and upkeep was unchanged for
the second consecutive month in October. A small decline in clothing prices, following seasonal adjustment,
offset a 0.4 percent increase in laundry and dry cleaning costs.
The entertainment and other goods and services components both increased 0.7 percent in October. Within
the entertainment index, the cost of reading materials
advanced 1.4 percent. Higher tuition costs were largely
responsible for the increase in the other goods and services component.
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 October, the same as in September. The acceleration
in the indexes for food and beverages, entertainment,
and other goods and services was offset by smaller increases in three other major categories of consumer
spending.
The 0.4 percent rise in the CPI-W was the same as
in the CPI-U. In the CPI-U, the homeowners' cost index — which uses a rental equivalence approach —
rose 0.4 percent in October. Homeownership in the
CPI-W, which is based on house prices, mortgage interest rates, property taxes, property insurance, and
maintenance and repair costs, was unchanged in October. Increases in mortgage interest rates, property insurance, property taxes, and maintenance and repair
costs were offset by a decline in house prices.

Area is generally the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA),
exclusive of farms. L.A.-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, Cole, which does not include
Douglas County. Definitions do not include revisions made since 1973.

Regions are defined as the four Census regions.
The population size classes are aggregations of areas which have
urban population as defined:

C 75,000 to 385,000.
D Less than 75,000.
Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes
A-1 and A-2.
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.

Region/population size class

B - 385,000 to 1,250,000.
C 75,000 to 385,000.
D Less than 75,000.
Population size class A is the aggregation of population size classes
A-1 and A-2.
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.

Technical Notes
Brief Explanation of the CPI
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the
average change in prices over time in a fixed market
basket of goods and services. 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.
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).
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.

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 was introduced into the CPI-U in such a manner that the indexes using the old and new methodologies were equal in the socalled 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 historic practice, the
BLS made available calculations for the CPI-U from
January to June 1983 based on the old method of
homeownership. A 6-month overlap period for the CPIW will also be made available to users; it will run from
January to June 1985. For further details, see: Changing the Homeownership Components of the Consumer
Price Index to Rental Equivalence, CPI Detailed
Report, January 1983.
es 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 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-ll Variant of the
Census Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program. The
updated seasonal data at the end of the 1977 replaced
data from 1967 through 1977. Subsequent annual updates have replaced 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data
from 1978 through 1982 were replaced at the end of
1982. The seasonal movement of all items and 43 other
aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal
movement of 50 selected components. Each year the
seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon
certain statistical criteria. If any of the 50 selected components changes its seasonal status, seasonal data from
1967 forward for the all items and for any of the 43
other aggregations that have that series as a component
are replaced.

different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publish-
