R e la tiv e Im p o r ta n c e C o m p o n e n ts P r ic e in t h e In d e x e s , of C onsum er 1986 This report contains data on the relative importance of revised and unrevised components in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers ( C P I - U ) and the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers ( c p i - w ) as of the end of 1986. (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 areas—27 metropolitan areas, 4 regions, 4 population size classes, and 14 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 indexes. The relative importance of a component is its expenditure or value weight expressed as a percentage of all items within an area. When the value weights are collected—most recently during the 1982-84 Consumer Expenditure Survey—they represent average annual expenditures, and their relative importance ratios show approximately how the index population distributes expenditures among the com ponents. Later, the relative importance ratios show how consumers would distribute their expenditures if they con tinued 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 corresponding 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 different kinds of goods and services, relative importance ratios cannot be used as estimates of current spending patterns or as indicators of changing consumer expenditures 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 combinations 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 1 F o r a d e s c rip tio n o f th e p ro c e d u re fo r d e r iv in g in d e x w e ig h ts fro m c o n s u m e r e x p e n d itu re d a ta , see c h . 6 , “ C o n s u m e r E x p e n d itu re s and In c o m e ,” in v o l.

Area definitions are those established by the Office of Management and Budget in 1983, except for Boston-Lawrence-Salem, MA-NH Area (excludes Rayham Town, MA); Detroit-Ann Arbor, Ml Area (ex 36 1.234 1.176 1.744 .649 cludes Monroe County); and Milwaukee, Wl Area (includes only the Milwaukee MSA). Definitions do not include revisions made since 1983. 2 Regions are defined as the four Census regions. Brief Explanation of the CPI in other areas. Prices for most goods and services are obtained by personal visits o f the Bureau’s trained represent atives. Mail questionnaires are used to obtain public utility rates, som e 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 o f the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U .S . city average. Separate indexes are also published by size o f city, by region o f the country, for cross classifi cations o f regions and population-size classes, and for 27 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. The index measures price change from a designated refer ence date— 1967—which equals 100.0. An increase o f 203 percent, for exam ple, is shown as 303 .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 $10 in 1967 to $30.30. For further details see B L S Handbook of Methods, V ol. II, “ The Consumer Price Index,” Bulletin 2 1 3 4 -2 , April 1984, and The Consumer Price Index: 1987 Revision, BLS Report 736, January 1987. The Consumer Price Index (C P I) 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 pub lishes C P I’s for two population groups: (1) A C PI for All Urban Consumers ( c p i - u ) which covers approximately 80 percent o f the total population and (2), a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers ( c p i - w ) which covers 32 percent o f the total population. The C P I-U includes, in addi tion to w age 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 and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 91 urban areas across the country from about 60 ,0 0 0 housing units and approximately 21,000 retail establishments—department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other types o f stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use o f items are included in the index. Prices o f food, fuels, and a few other items are obtained every month in all 91 locations. Prices o f most other com m odities and services are collected every month in the five largest geographic areas and every other month 37 Where To Find CPI Information M onthly Periodical: M ost com prehensive report available.
