For the 12-month period ended in September, the CPI-U increased 2.7 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 0.1 percent in Septem ber prior to seasonal adjustment. The September 1993 CPI-W level of 142.6 was 2.5 percent higher than the index in September 1992. compares with rates of 4.0 and 2.2 percent in the first and second quarters, respectively, and brings the year-to-date annual rate to 2.5 percent. Thus far in 1993, the food index has increased at an annual rate of 1.9 percent, about the same as in each of the 2 preceding calendar years. Despite substan tial increases in each of the past 2 months, the index for fresh fruits and vegetables has been a mitigating factor on the rate of inflation for food this year, declining at a 1.2-percent rate in the first 9 months. The energy index, reflecting the weak ness in petroleum prices, has declined at a 1.4-percent annu al rate thus far in 1993. Petroleum-based energy costs have declined at a 6.8-percent rate, while energy services have in creased at a 3.9-percent rate. After increasing 3.3 percent in 1992—the smallest ad vance since 1972—the CPI-U excluding food and energy has increased at a 3.0-percent rate during the first 9 months of 1993. The further deceleration in 1993 has largely been the result of the sharp downturn in the index for tobacco and smoking products. The food and beverage index increased 0.1 percent in September. Grocery store food prices, which rose 0.4 per cent in August, increased 0.1 percent in September. The in dex for fresh fruit and vegetables climbed 2.0 percent, but was largely offset by decreases or advances of 0.1 percent or less in other grocery store food groups. Prices for dairy prod uct sfell 0.7 percent. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U was unchanged in September after advancing 0.3 percent in August. The food index, which increased 0.3 percent in August, rose 0.1 percent in September. Fresh fruit and vegetable prices rose sharply for the second consecutive month, but each of the other major food groups declined or rose only slightly. Energy costs, reflecting the continued decline in the index for petroleum-based energy, fell 0.4 percent in September. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.1 percent in September, following a 0.3-percent increase in August. A downturn in the index for apparel and upkeep and a larger drop than in August for prices of tobacco and smoking prod ucts accounted for most of the slowdown. Consumer prices rose at a 1.4-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) in the third quarter of 1993. This Table A.

Decreases in prices for beef and eggs more than offset increases in the indexes for pork, poul try, and fish and seafood. The indexes for processed fruits and vegetables and cereal and bakery products each rose 0.1 percent, while the index for other food at home was un changed. The other two components of the food and bever age index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages— each advanced 0.1 percent in September. The housing component rose 0.2 percent in September, following a 0.3-percent increase in August. This moderation reflects slightly smaller increases in the indexes for shelter and for fuel and other utilities, each of which rose 0.2 percent in September. Within shelter, renters’ costs rose 0.3 percent, and homeowners’ costs, 0.1 percent; while maintenance and repair costs fell 0.2 percent. The index for household fuels rose 0.2 percent in September. The indexes for natural gas and electricity rose 0.3 and 0.2 percent, respectively, more than offsetting a 0.5-percent drop in fuel oil prices. The in dex for other utilities and public services advanced 0.2 per cent in September, reflecting moderate increases in the in dexes for telephone services, refuse collection, and water and sewerage maintenance. The index for household fur nishings and operation advanced 0.3 percent in September, the same as in August. The transportation index fell 0.1 percent in September af ter increasing 0.1 percent in August. The index for gasoline declined for the seventh consecutive month. The 1.5-percent decrease in September brought its level to a point 20.0 per cent below its peak level of November 1990. The index for new vehicles, which increased 0.7 percent in August, rose 0.2 percent in September. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, new vehicle prices declined 0.1 percent after remaining un changed in July and August.) The used car index continued to rise—up 0.7 percent in September and 8.6 percent in the past 12 months. Automobile finance charges, however, con tinued to drop—down 0.8 percent in September. This index has increased in only one month since February 1991. The index for public transportation increased 0.2 percent in Sep tember, the same as in August. The index for apparel and upkeep, which registered its first increase since February in August—up 0.9 percent— turned back down in September, declining 0.6 percent. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, the index increased 1.9 and 2.0 percent in August and September, respectively.) The sea sonally adjusted movements in the past 2 months reflect the earlier than anticipated introduction of higher-priced fall and winter merchandise. Medical care costs rose 0.4 percent in September to a level 5.7 percent above a year ago. The index for medical care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—increased 0.1 percent. The index for medical care services rose 0.4 percent, with the cost of pro fessional services and hospital and related services up 0.3 and 0.5 percent, respectively.

Charges for entertainment services rose 0.7 percent, reflecting increased fees for participant sports and fees for lessons or instruc tions—up 1.2 and 1.1 percent, respectively. The index for other goods and services declined 1.5 per cent in September, its largest decrease since the series incep tion in January 1967. A record 5.4-percent drop in the index for tobacco and smoking products, resulting from a sharp de cline in cigarette prices at the producer level in August, was responsible for the decrease. The index for tobacco and smoking products had declined 2.9 percent in August. Also contributing to the September decrease in the index for other goods and services were seasonally adjusted decreases in school related costs. The index for tuition and other school fees fell 0.7 percent and that for school books and supplies, 1.8 percent. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, tuition costs rose 3.2 percent, while school book prices fell 0.4 percent.) CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers was unchanged in September. 3 Improvements to CPI Procedures: Publication of Gasoline, Unleaded Midgrade Index midgrade, as well as all other grades, are currently used in calculating the motor fuel index and this will not change. The separate gasoline indexes, however, are calculated differently than motor fuel. The same price data used to calculate the motor fuel index are extracted for each of the varying grades of gasoline. Gasoline indexes by the different grades are then independently calculated. Price movements for different grades of gasoline are not added into the aggregate CPI to form higher-level indexes because that information has already been added through the motor fuel component. Unleaded midgrade indexes will be initially available only on an unadjusted basis. The series will be seasonally ad justed at the U.S. level after BLS has enough historical data to determine seasonal patterns, probably at least 5 years. Average prices for unleaded midgrade will also be pub lished beginning in January 1994. They will appear on all tables where average prices for other grades of gasoline are published. Again, BLS will have no prior historical data on average prices of midgrade. Additional information on this index may be obtained by writing the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index, Room 3615 PSB, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE, Washington, DC 20212-0001, or by calling Joe Chelena at (202) 606-6982. Beginning with the release of data for January 1994, indexes for unleaded midgrade gasoline will be published. They will be included in every table and available for every area that unleaded regular and unleaded premium indexes are published. “Gasoline, unleaded midgrade” will replace “Gasoline, leaded regular,” which is no longer published, in both the CPI-U and the CPI-W. (Midgrade gasoline is unleaded gasoline marketed at a mid-octane rating between regular and premium levels. It usually has an octane rating of 89 but that level can vary depending on region of the country.) The base period for unleaded midgrade indexes will be December 1993=100 and the weights will be based on December 1993 expenditure estimates. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will have no historical data for midgrade earlier than December 1993. Midgrade indexes will be calculated in the same manner as the other gasoline indexes, that is, as by-products of the motor fuel component. Motor fuel is the lowest item level for which BLS has Consumer Expenditure Survey data from 1982-84; the weighting structure for the entire CPI is based on 1982-84 expenditures. Price changes for motor fuel are added into the aggregate CPI, according to motor fuel’s weight, to calculate higher-level indexes, such as transportation, energy, or all items. Price data from unleaded 4 Publication of All Items Less Food and Energy at the City Level Many persons consider all items less food and energy to be the “core,” or underlying, rate of inflation. As such, there is heavy demand for this item component at the U.S. level, and growing demand for it at more narrowly-defined geographic levels, such as metropolitan areas. (This component series is already available for regions and size-classifications.) The new series will be available only on an unadjusted basis, as are all indexes below the U.S. city average level. Additional information on this index may be obtained by writing the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index, Room 3615 PSB, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE, Washington, DC 20212-0001, or by calling Ken Stewart at (202) 606-7002. Also beginning with the release of data for January 1994, indexes for all items less food and energy will be published for the metropolitan areas and for cross-classifications of re gion and population. They will be included in tables that list detailed indexes for the metropolitan areas and cross-classifications for both the CPI-U and the CPI-W. The base period for the all items less food and energy indexes will be 1982-84=100 for nearly all areas.1The Bureau of Labor Sta tistics will have historical data for these series back to 1982.2 1The indexes for New Orleans and Tampa will have a base period of 1987=100. 2Historical information for New Orleans and Tampa will go back only to 1987. 5 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 * Percent changes over 12-month spans are calculated from unadjusted data.

R Revised. 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. Table 11.

R Revised. 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. 1 Foods, fuels, and several other items priced every month in ail areas; most other goods and services priced as indicated: M - Every month. 1 - January, March, May, July, September, and November. 2 - February, April, June, August, October, and December. 2 Regions defined as the four Census regions.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes CPFs for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approxi mately 80 percent of the total population and (2), a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which covers 32 percent of the total population. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, 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 CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors’ and dentists’ services, drugs, and the other goods that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across the country from about 57,000 housing units and approximately 19,000 retail establishments —depart ment stores, supermarkets, hospitals, gasoline stations and other types of stores and services establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of food, fuel, and 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 either personal visits or tele phone calls from the Bureau’s trained representatives. Some data, such as used car prices, are obtained from sec ondary 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 of the appropriate population group. Local data are then com bined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also published by size of city, by region of country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 29 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. 100 The indexes measure price change from a designated reference date, 1982-84, which equals 100.0. An increase of 7 percent, for example, is shown as 107.0. 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 $100 in 1982-84 to $107. For further details see B LS Handbook of Methods, BLS Bulletin 2414, September 1992 and The Consumer Price Index: 1987 Revision, BLS Report 736, January 1987. Calculating Index Changes Movements of the indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points, because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. The example in the accompanying box illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula for compound growth rates. These data indicate what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained for a 12-month period. Index Point Change CPI 112.5 Less previous index 108.5 Equals index point change 4.0 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change 4.0 108.5 0.0 37 0.,037 x 100 3.7 Energy Prices Approximate British Termal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, 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 region cross-classified by four population sizes. However, not all energy commodities and services are used in every area of the country. Fuel oil, for exmaple, is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South and West. Where no average price are available, the desig nation NA 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 pub lished city or region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area will be published. All prices arer collected monthly by BLS representa tives in the urban area 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. N atural 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 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 diffferent consumpation amount, but may also be calculated from different types of residential rate schedules. The average price per therm and per kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally suitable fo r use in place-to-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table P I) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Since heating and air-conditioning 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 time for constant amounts of consumption, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised Consumer Price Index. Food Prices In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are calculated each month at the national level and for the four Census geographic regions. 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 food prices 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 commoditiates 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 will appear. When a price is not available from an individual store in any month, as estimated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. In cases where the proportion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price will not be published and N A will appear 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 the BLS regional offices or from the Washington office upon request. Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging Effects Beginning with January 1988 CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjust the monthly CPI shelter indexes for the change in quality resulting from the effect of 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 exten sive BLS research, in which alternative adjustment methods were explored and tested. Evaluation of the research indicates that an aging effect exists, and that the 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 an d /o r quick payment. Gasoline. Gasoline prices are collected at the pump from a sample of full service, mini-service, and self-serve gas stations. 1 therm = 100,000 BTU’s (U.S. Departm ent 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). 101 chosen method is operationally feasible.1The adjustment affect CPI shelter indexes, which would have been raised by 0.2 percent for the year 1987 had an aging adjustment been applied. The quality of housing unit decreases as the unit ages. Existing BLS methods are used to correct for relatively easily measured quality changes such as the addition of an extra bedroom, but such methods are inadequate to cor rect for deterioration in the condition of housing unit.2 The aging adjustment method was specifically designed to correct for quality changes associated with this deterio ration. The BLS used hedonic regression methods to estimate the aging effect. The estimates were then used to correct the CPI rent and rental equivalence indexes. Hedonic regressions are statis tical functions that relate the price of a good to its attributes or characteristics. For example, a hedonic regression re lates 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 of the relationship betweeen a housing unit’s rent and age while other housing unit characteristics were held con stant. The estimated relationship was then used to con struct the aging adjustment. Estimates will be recomputed annually by using the previous year’s BLS housing survey data and the most recently available Census data. purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation. In most cases, seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X -llA R IM A Seasonal Adjustment 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 1987 through 1991 were replaced at the end of 1991. The seasonal movement of all items and 47 other aggregations is derived by combin ing the seasonal movement of 60 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 60 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally ad justed to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years, but the seasonally ad justed indexes will be used before that period. 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 in conjunction with X -l 1-ARIMA for some CPI series. Intervention analysis allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values an d /o r sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern are removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors in X -l 1-ARIMA. Seasonally Adjusted and For the fuel oil and the m otor fuels indexes, this proce Unadjusted Data dure was used to offset the effects that extreme price volatil ity would otherwise have had on the estimates of seasonally adjusted data for those series.
