CONSUMER PRICE INDEX – JULY 2013
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent in July on a
seasonally adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months,
the all items index increased 2.0 percent before seasonal adjustment.
The rise in the seasonally adjusted all items index was the result of increases in a broad array of indexes
including shelter, gasoline, apparel, and food. Despite the gasoline increase, the energy index rose only
0.2 percent as the natural gas and electricity indexes declined. The increase in the food index was caused
by a sharp rise in the fruits and vegetables index; other food indexes were mixed.
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in July, the third straight such increase.
Along with the advances in the shelter and apparel indexes, the indexes for medical care, tobacco, and
new vehicles all rose. In contrast, the indexes for household furnishings and operations, airline fares, and
used cars and trucks all declined in July.
The all items index increased 2.0 percent over the last 12 months. The index for all items less food and
energy has risen 1.7 percent over the last year; this compares to 1.6 percent for the 12 months ending
June. The energy index has risen 4.7 percent over the last 12 months, its largest increase since the 12
months ending February 2012. The food index has risen 1.4 percent, the same figure as in May and June.

Consumer Price Index Data for July 2013
Food
The food index increased 0.1 percent in July after rising 0.2 percent in June. The food at home index
rose 0.1 percent, though only two of the six major grocery store food group indexes increased. The index
for fruits and vegetables rose 1.5 percent, with the index for fresh vegetables rising 2.4 percent. The
index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs also increased, rising 0.2 percent, while the index for other food
at home was unchanged. Indexes for the other groups declined. The index for nonalcoholic beverages
fell 0.6 percent, its third decline in the last five months. The cereals and bakery products index declined
0.3 percent and the index for dairy and related products fell 0.1 percent. Over the past year, the food at
home index has increased 1.0 percent. The fruits and vegetables index posted the largest increase over
the span, rising 2.7 percent. The index for nonalcoholic beverages was the only one to decline, falling
1.2 percent. The index for food away from home rose 0.2 percent in July, its third straight such increase,
and has risen 2.1 percent over the past year.
Energy
The energy index rose 0.2 percent in July after increasing 3.4 percent in June; this was its third increase
in a row. The gasoline index increased 1.0 percent in July after a 6.3 percent increase in June. (Before
seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices fell 0.4 percent in July.) The fuel oil index also increased, rising 1.1
percent. However, other household energy indexes declined. The electricity index fell 0.3 percent after
increasing in each of the previous three months. The index for natural gas declined sharply in July,
falling 2.8 percent. Despite the July decline, it has still increased 8.8 percent over the last 12 months.
The other major energy component indexes have also risen over the same span: gasoline (5.2 percent),
fuel oil (3.4 percent), and electricity (3.1 percent).
All items less food and energy
The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.2 percent in July. The shelter index increased
0.2 percent, the same increase as in June, with the rent index increasing 0.2 percent and the index for
owners’ equivalent rent rising 0.1 percent. The apparel index increased for the third month in a row,
rising 0.6 percent. The index for medical care rose 0.2 percent in July. The medical care commodities
index increased 0.4 percent as the index for prescription drugs rose 0.5 percent for the second month in a
row. The medical care services index advanced 0.1 percent. The tobacco index increased 1.4 percent in
July, its largest increase since July 2010. The index for new vehicles also rose in July, increasing 0.1
percent. In contrast to these increases, the index for household furnishings and operations declined 0.4
percent, its largest decrease since April 2010, as the indexes for furniture and bedding and for appliances
declined. The index for airlines fares, which fell 1.7 percent in June, declined 1.3 percent in July. The
index for used cars and trucks also continued to fall, decreasing 0.4 percent, the same decline as in June.
The indexes for recreation and personal care were both unchanged in July.
The index for all items less food and energy increased 1.7 percent for the 12 months ending July. The
shelter index increased 2.3 percent over that span while the new vehicles index rose 1.2 percent; both
figures were unchanged from last month. The index for medical care rose 1.9 percent over the last 12

Not seasonally adjusted CPI measures
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 2.0 percent over the last 12
months to an index level of 233.596 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index was unchanged prior to
seasonal adjustment.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 2.0
percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 230.084 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index
was unchanged prior to seasonal adjustment.
The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 1.8 percent over the
last 12 months. For the month, the index was unchanged on a not seasonally adjusted basis. Please note
that the indexes for the post-2011 period are subject to revision.
The Consumer Price Index for August 2013 is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, September 17,
2013, at 8:30 a.m. (EDT).

Discontinuation of Department Store Inventory Indexes
The Bureau of Labor Statistics will discontinue publication of its Department Store Inventory indexes
after the release of the December 2013 CPI in mid-January 2014, and these values will no longer be
uploaded to the Labstat database. For further information please contact Sharon Gibson at 202-691-6968
or [email protected].
Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) Annual
Average Indexes Discontinued
The final revisions of the C-CPI-U indexes for 2012 will be available in February 2014. Annual average
indexes for C-CPI-U series will not be published for time periods after 2012. (Monthly C-CPI-U indexes
will continue to be published.) In February 2014, the annual average indexes for the final estimates for
2012 C-CPI-U series will be published in the public CPI database. Table 1CA will not be published.
Publication Changes for Average Price Series
The Bureau of Labor Statistics discontinued publication of three average price series after the release of
the June 2013 CPI in mid-July 2013. They are:
- utility (piped) gas, 40 therms;
- utility (piped) gas, 100 therms; and
- electricity, 500 kilowatt hours.
The Bureau, however, continues to publish average prices for utility (piped) gas on a per therm basis,
and will continue to publish electricity prices on a per kilowatt hour basis. As such, users will be able to
convert these data to any consumption amount. CPI Detailed Report table P1. Average residential
prices for utility (piped) gas, electricity, and fuel oil, U.S. city average and selected areas are no longer
published. Data for fuel oil #2, per gallon (3.785 liters) continues to be available in the CPI Average
Price Data public database.

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 29 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 88 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.
-5-
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 26,000 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. 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 116.500. 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.

Information and Analysis Section on (202) 691-7000.
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 1month, 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, JanuaryDecember 2012”. 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/cpivar2012.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 2008 through
December 2012 were replaced in January 2013. 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,
-7-
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.
Effective with the publication of data from January 2006 through December 2010 in January 2011, the
Video and audio series and the Information technology, hardware and services series were changed from
independently adjusted to dependently adjusted. This resulted in an increase in the number of seasonal
components used in deriving seasonal movement of the All items and 54 other lower level aggregations,
from 73 for the publication of January 1998 through December 2005 data to 82 for the publication of
seasonally adjusted data for January 2006 and later. Each year the seasonal status of every series is
reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 82 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 before that period will not be changed. Note: 37 of the 82 components are not seasonally
adjusted for 2013.
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.
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 2013, BLS adjusted 31 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.

6 Indexes on a November 1996=100 base.
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.

1 The C-CPI-U is designed to be a closer approximation to a cost-of-living index in that it, in its final form, accounts for any substitution that consumers
make across item categories in response to changes in relative prices. Since the expenditure data required for the calculation of the C-CPI-U are
available only with a time lag, the C-CPI-U is being issued first in preliminary form using the latest available expenditure data at that time and is subject
to two revisions.
NOTE: Indexes for 2013 are intial estimates. Indexes for 2012 are interim adjustments. Data prior to 2012 are final.
NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.

1 The ’effect’ of an item category is a measure of that item’s contribution to the All items price change. For example, if the Food index had an effect of 0.40,
and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40 / 1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase. Said another
way, had food prices been unchanged for that month the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8 percent. Effects
can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items index actually would
have been 0.1 percent higher (or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were rising, the contribution
of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 / 0.5, or minus 20 percent).
2 A statistic’s margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 0.6 percent,
and its standard error was 0.15 percent, the margin of error on this item’s 1-month percent change would be 0.6 percent, plus or minus 0.3 percent.
3 If the current seasonally adjusted 1-month percent change is greater than the previous published 1-month percent change, then this column identifies
the closest prior month with a 1-month percent change as (L)arge as or (L)arger than the current 1-month change. If the current 1-month percent change
is smaller than the previous published 1-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or (S)maller than the current month
change is identified. If the current and previous published 1-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard numerical comparisons are
used. For example, 0.8% is greater than 0.6%, -0.4% is less than -0.2%, and -0.2% is less than 0.0%. Note that a (L)arger change can be a smaller
decline, for example, a -0.2% change is larger than a -0.4% change, but still represents a decline in the price index. Likewise, (S)maller changes can
be increases, for example, a 0.6% change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price index. In this context, a -0.2% change is
considered to be smaller than a 0.0% change.
4 Not seasonally adjusted.
5 Indexes on a December 1997=100 base.
6 Special indexes based on a substantially smaller sample. These series do not contribute to the all items index aggregation and therefore do not have
a relative importance or effect.

8 Indexes on a December 2005=100 base.
9 Indexes on a December 1986=100 base.
10 Indexes on a December 1993=100 base.
11 This index series was calculated using a Laspeyres estimator. All other item stratum index series were calculated using a geometric means estimator.
12 Indexes on a December 2009=100 base.
13 Indexes on a December 1990=100 base.

1 The ’effect’ of an item category is a measure of that item’s contribution to the All items price change. For example, if the Food index had an effect of 0.40,
and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40 / 1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase. Said another
way, had food prices been unchanged for that year the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8 percent. Effects
can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items index actually would
have been 0.1 percent higher (or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were rising, the contribution
of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 / 0.5, or minus 20 percent).
2 A statistic’s margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 2.6 percent,
and its standard error was 0.25 percent, the margin of error on this item’s 12-month percent change would be 2.6 percent, plus or minus 0.5 percent.
3 If the current 12-month percent change is greater than the previous published 12-month percent change, then this column identifies the closest prior
month with a 12-month percent change as (L)arge as or (L)arger than the current 12-month change. If the current 12-month percent change is smaller
than the previous published 12-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or (S)maller than the current month change is
identified. If the current and previous published 12-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard numerical comparison is used. For
example, 2.0% is greater than 0.6%, -4.4% is less than -2.0%, and -2.0% is less than 0.0%. Note that a (L)arger change can be a smaller decline, for
example, a -0.2% change is larger than a -0.4% change, but still represents a decline in the price index. Likewise, (S)maller changes can be increases,
for example, a 0.6% change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price index. In this context, a -0.2% change is considered to be
smaller than a 0.0% change.

5 Special indexes based on a substantially smaller sample. These series do not contribute to the all items index aggregation and therefore do not have
a relative importance or effect.
