CONSUMER PRICE INDEX –JUNE 2010
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) declined 0.1 percent in June on a
seasonally adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months,
the index increased 1.1 percent before seasonal adjustment.
Similarly to April and May, a decline in the energy index caused the seasonally adjusted all items
decrease in June. The index for energy decreased 2.9 percent in June, the same decline as in May, with a
decline in the gasoline index accounting for most of the decrease. This more than offset an increase in
the index for all items less food and energy, while the food index was unchanged for the second month
in a row.
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in June after increasing 0.1 percent in May.
A broad array of indexes posted increases, including shelter, apparel, used cars, medical care, tobacco,
and recreation. These increases more than offset declines in the indexes for household furnishings and
operations and for airline fares. The 12-month change in the index for all items less food and energy
remained at 0.9 percent for the third month in a row.

Consumer Price Index Data for June 2010
Food
The food index was unchanged in June for the second straight month. The index for food away from
home rose 0.1 percent, the third straight such increase, while the food at home index declined 0.1
percent. Within the latter group, four of the six major grocery store food groups declined. The fruits and
vegetables index fell 1.3 percent, mostly due to a 3.0 percent decline in the index for fresh vegetables.
The index for cereals and bakery products fell 0.6 percent and the indexes for other food at home and for
nonalcoholic beverages fell 0.3 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively. In contrast to these declines, the
index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs rose 1.0 percent in June, the sixth consecutive monthly increase,
and the dairy and related products index rose slightly. The food at home index has risen 0.2 percent over
the last 12 months with none of the major groups rising or falling more than 2.0 percent.
Energy
The energy index declined 2.9 percent in June, the same decline as in May. The gasoline index declined
4.5 percent in June, its fifth consecutive monthly decline after nine consecutive monthly increases. The
household energy index declined 1.6 percent in June, its largest decline in over a year. The fuel oil index
fell 3.2 percent and the electricity index declined 2.2 percent, more than offsetting a 0.6 percent increase
in the natural gas index. The energy index has increased 3.0 percent over the last 12 months. The
gasoline index has risen 3.9 percent over the last 12 months, with the index for household energy up 1.6
percent.
All items less food and energy
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in June after rising 0.1 percent in May. The
shelter index rose 0.1 percent in June, the same increase as last month. Within the shelter component,
the rent index increased 0.1 percent in June. The index for owners’ equivalent rent also rose 0.1 percent,
its first increase since August 2009, and the index for lodging away from home rose 1.3 percent. The
apparel index increased 0.8 percent, and the index for used cars continued to increase, rising 0.9 percent.
The tobacco index rose 1.0 percent in June after increasing 1.3 percent in May. The index for new
vehicles and recreation both rose slightly in June, increasing 0.1 percent. In contrast, the index for
household furnishings and operations fell 0.4 percent in June, and the index for airline fares turned
down, falling 0.6 percent after increasing in each of the previous three months.
Over the last 12 months, the index for all items less food and energy has risen 0.9 percent. Over that
time period, the indexes for shelter, household furnishing and operations, apparel, recreation, and
communication have posted decreases, while the indexes for used cars and trucks, medical care, new
vehicles, tobacco, airline fares, and education have increased.
Not seasonally adjusted CPI measures
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 1.1 percent over the last 12
months to an index level of 217.965 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index fell 0.1 percent prior to
seasonal adjustment.
-3-
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 1.4
percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 213.839 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index
fell 0.1 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.
The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 0.8 percent over the
last 12 months. For the month, the index decreased 0.2 percent on a not seasonally adjusted basis. Please
note that the indexes for the post-2008 period are subject to revision.
The Consumer Price Index for July 2010 is scheduled to be released on Friday, August 13, 2010, at
8:30 a.m. (EDT).

Brief Explanation of the CPI
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time of goods and
services purchased by households. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes CPIs for two population
groups: (1) the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), which covers households
of wage earners and clerical workers that comprise approximately 32 percent of the total population and
(2) the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the Chained CPI for All Urban Consumers (C-CPIU), which cover approximately 87 percent of the total population and include in addition to wage
earners and clerical worker households, 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 CPIs are 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 collected each month in 87 urban areas across the country from about 4,000 housing
units and approximately 25,000 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 geographic 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, which represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local
data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. For the CPI-U and CPI-W 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 27 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.
For the C-CPI-U data are issued only at the national level. It is important to note that the CPI-U and
CPI-W are considered final when released, but the C-CPI-U is issued in preliminary form and subject to
two annual revisions.
The index measures price change from a designed reference date. For the CPI-U and the CPI-W the
reference base is 1982-84 equals 100.0. The reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999 equals
100. An increase of 16.5 percent from the reference base, 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.

Note on Sampling Error in the Consumer Price Index
The CPI is a statistical estimate that is subject to sampling error because it is based upon a sample of
retail prices and not the complete universe of all prices. BLS calculates and publishes estimates of the
1-month, 2-month, 6-month and 12-month percent change standard errors annually, for the CPI-U.
These standard error estimates can be used to construct confidence intervals for hypothesis testing. For
example, the estimated standard error of the 1 month percent change is 0.04 percent for the U.S. All
Items Consumer Price Index. This means that if we repeatedly sample from the universe of all retail
prices using the same methodology, and estimate a percentage change for each sample, then 95% of
these estimates would be within 0.08 percent of the 1 month percentage change based on all retail prices.
For example, for a 1-month change of 0.2 percent in the All Items CPI for All Urban Consumers, we are
95 percent confident that the actual percent change based on all retail prices would fall between 0.12 and
0.28 percent. For the latest data, including information on how to use the estimates of standard error,
see “Variance Estimates for Price Changes in the Consumer Price Index, January-December 2009”.
These data are available on the CPI home page (http://www.bls.gov/cpi), or by using the following link
http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpivar2009.pdf
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 below 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.

A Note on Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
publishes 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 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
before adjustment for seasonal variation.
Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-12-ARIMA
Seasonal Adjustment Method. Seasonally adjusted indexes and seasonal factors are computed annually.
Each year, the last 5 years of seasonally adjusted data are revised. Data from January 2005 through
December 2009 were replaced in January 2010. Exceptions to the usual revision schedule were: the
updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977; and, in January 2002,
dependently seasonally adjusted series were revised for January 1987-December 2001 as a result of a
change in the aggregation weights for dependently adjusted series. For further information, please see
“Aggregation of Dependently Adjusted Seasonally Adjusted Series,” in the October 2001 issue of the
CPI Detailed Report.
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 seasonally adjusted data will be used in the
aggregation of the dependent series for the last 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used
before that period. Note: 46 of the 73 components are seasonally adjusted for 2010.
Seasonally adjusted data, including the all items index levels, are subject to revision for up to five years
after their original release. For this reason, BLS advises against the use of these data in escalation
agreements.
-7-
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 Seasonal Adjustment for some
CPI series. Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment allows for better estimates of seasonally
adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern are
estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. Beginning with the
calculation of seasonal factors for 1996, X-12-ARIMA software was used for Intervention Analysis
Seasonal Adjustment.
For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2010, BLS adjusted 30 series using Intervention Analysis
Seasonal Adjustment, including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels, electricity and vehicles.
For example, this procedure was used for the Motor fuel series to offset the effects of events such as
damage to oil refineries from Hurricane Katrina.
For a complete list of Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment series and explanations, please refer to
the article “Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment”, located on our website at
http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.htm.

Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or contact David
Levin at (202) 691-6968, or by e-mail at [email protected] If you have general questions about the

- 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.
