(For a description of these indexes, see the explanation following the tables.) Table 1 contains data for the U.S. city average. Tables 2-6 contain data for the areas—28 metropolitan areas, 4 regions, 5 population size classes, and 16 cross classifications of area and population size class. Table 7 presents the relative importance of the individual area all-items indexes in the U.S. city average all-items in dexes. The relative importance of a component is its ex penditure or value weight expressed as a percentage of all items within an area. When the value weights are collected—most recently during the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey—they represent average annual expenditures, and their relative importance ratios show approximately how the index population distributes expenditures among the components. Later, the relative importance ratios show how consumers would dis tribute their expenditures if they continued to buy the same quantities and qualities of goods and services as in the survey period. Consequently, in the period between major revisions, the value weights and their correspond ing relative importance ratios are adjusted solely by the different rates of price change among the various items. The relative importance increases for those items registering a greater than average price increase and decreases for those items registering a smaller than average price increase. Since consumption patterns are influenced by factors other than price change, such as income, variations in climate, family size, and availability of new and dif ferent kinds of goods and services, relative importance ratios cannot be used as estimates of current spending patterns or as indicators of changing consumer expend itures in the intervals between weight revisions. Relative importance ratios of components in the national or local area Consumer Price Indexes may be used in the construction of indexes for special combina tions of items. In such instances, relative importance ratios are used as weights to combine relative changes in prices of the selected components over specified periods.1 For a description o f the procedure for deriving index weights from con sumer expenditure data, see ch. 6, “ Consumer Expenditures and Income,” in BLS Handbook o f Methods, vol. I, Bulletin 2134-1 (1982), pp. 38-42; and BLS Handbook o f Methods, vol. II, The Consumer Price Index, Bulletin 2134-2 (1984). For a description o f the procedure for calculating special-purpose in dexes, as well as the precautions that must be taken, see “ Relative Importance o f CPI Components,” Monthly Labor Review, N ov. 1961, pp. 1233-36 (Reprint N o. 2377), and “ Relative Importance o f Items in the C PI,” Monthly Labor Review, Aug. 1954, pp. 891-96 (Reprint N o. 2146). 1 Table 1.

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 tfiose established by the Office of Management and Budget in 1973, except for Denver-Boulder, Colo, which does not include Douglas County. Definitions do not include revisions made since 1973. 2 Regions are defined as the four Census regions. The population size classes are aggregations of areas which have urban population as defined below: A-1 More than 4,000,000. A-2 1,250,000 to 4,000,000. 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. 35 Brief Explanation of the CPI Prices of most other commodities and services are col lected 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 spend ing of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also published for 28 local areas. Area in dexes 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 22 percent, for example, is shown as 122.0. This change can also be expressed in dollars as follows: The prices of a base period “ market basket” of goods and services in the c p i has risen from $10 in 1967 to $12.20. 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 o f the Consumer Price Index, by W. John Layng, reprinted from the Statistical Reporter, February 1978, No. 78-5 (U.S. Dept, of Com merce); Revisions in the Medical Care Service Compo nent o f the Consumer Price Index, by Daniel H. Ginsburg, Monthly Labor Review, August 1978; Robert Gillingham and Walter Lane, “ Changing the Treatment of Homeownership in the c p i , ” Monthly Labor Review, June 1982; and “ Changing the Homeownership Component of the Consumer Price In dex to Rental Equivalence,” c p i Detailed Report, January 1983. The Consumer Price Index ( c p i ) 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 c p i for all Urban Consumers ( c p i -u ) which covers ap proximately 80 percent of the total noninstitutional civilian population; and (2) a revised c p i for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers ( c p i -w ) which represents about half the population covered by the c p i -u . The c p i -u includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups which historically have been excluded from c p i 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. Bls introduced an important improvement in the with release of the January 1983 data. The Bureau changed the homeownership component from an “ asset” approach to a “ flow-of services” approach. The change was implemented by a rental equivalence technique. The c p i -w will continue to use the o ld homeownership method until January 1985, when it also will be changed to incorporate a rental equivalence measure of homeownership costs. c p i -u The c p i is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors’ and dentists’ services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are col lected in 85 urban areas across the country from over 18,000 tenants, 18,000 housing units for property taxes, and about 24,000 establishments—grocery and depart ment stores, hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are in cluded in the index. Prices of food, fuels, and a few other items are obtained every month in all 85 locations.
