CPI Detailed Report - December 2007
Consumer Price Movements
December 2007
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) decreased 0.1 percent in December before seasonal adjustment. The

The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) decreased 0.1 percent in December prior to
seasonal adjustment. The December level of 205.777 (1982-84=100) was 4.3 percent higher than in December 2006.
The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) decreased 0.1 percent in December on a not seasonally
adjusted basis. The December level of 121.088 (December 1999=100) was 3.4 percent higher than in October 2006. Please note
that the indexes for the post-2005 period are subject to revision.
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U increased 0.3 percent in December, following a 0.8 percent rise in November. The index
for energy advanced 0.9 percent and accounted for about one-third of the overall CPI increase in December. The index for
petroleum-based energy rose 1.2 percent and the index for energy services, 0.5 percent. The food index rose 0.1 percent in
December. The index for food at home was virtually unchanged, while the index for food away from home increased 0.2 percent.
The index for all items less food and energy advanced 0.2 percent in December, following a 0.3 percent increase in November.
Smaller increases in the indexes for apparel, for medical care, for recreation, and for new vehicles were responsible for the more
moderate increase in December.

Consumer prices advanced at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of 5.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007. This
followed increases in the first three quarters at annual rates of 4.7, 5.2, and 1.0 percent, respectively. For the 12 month period ended
in December, the CPI-U rose 4.1 percent. This compares with an increase of 2.5 percent in 2006. The index for energy, which
advanced at annual rates of 22.9 and 32.9 percent in the first two quarters, declined at a 14.8 percent rate in the third quarter, turned
back up in the fourth quarter, advancing a 37.1 percent annual rate. Overall energy costs rose 17.4 percent in 2007 with the index for
petroleum-based energy costs (energy commodities) up 29.4 percent and charges for energy services (gas and electricity) up 3.4
percent The food index, which rose 2.1 percent in all of 2006, advanced 4.9 percent in 2007, its largest increase since a 5.3 percent
rise in 1990. Grocery store food prices increased 5.6 percent in 2007, reflecting acceleration over the last year in each of the six
major groups. These increases ranged from 3.2 percent in the index for other food at home to 13.4 percent in the index for dairy
products.

CPI Detailed Report - December 2007
Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U advanced at a 2.7 percent SAAR in the fourth quarter, following increases at rates of 2.3,
2.3, and 2.5 percent in the first three quarters of 2007. The 2.4 percent advance for all of 2007 compares with a 2.6 percent rise in
2006. The deceleration reflects a smaller increase in the index for shelter, in particular the index for owners’ equivalent rent, and a
small decrease in the index for apparel. Shelter costs, which rose 4.2 percent in all of 2006, increased 3.1 percent in 2007. The index
for owners’ equivalent rent rose 2.8 percent in 2007 after a 4.3 percent increase in 2006. The index for apparel, which last year
registered its first annual increase since 1997--up 0.9 percent--declined 0.3 percent in 2007. The annual rates for selected groups for
the last eight years are shown below.

percent, their largest annual advance since a 30.1 percent rise in 1999. The index for new vehicles was virtually unchanged in
2
CPI Detailed Report - December 2007
December. (As of December, about 63 percent of the new car sample consisted of 2008 models. The 2008 models will continue to be
phased in, with adjustments for quality change, over the next several months as they replace old models at dealerships. For a report on
quality changes for the 2008 vehicles represented in the Producer Price Index sample, see news release USDL-07-1787 dated
November 14, 2007.) The index for used cars and trucks rose 0.2 percent. During the last 12 months, new vehicle prices have
declined 0.3 percent, while prices for used cars and trucks rose 0.5 percent. The index for public transportation increased 1.2 percent
in December, largely reflecting a 1.6 percent increase in the index for airline fares. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, airline fares
declined 0.9 percent in December, but advanced 10.6 percent in the last 12 months.)
The index for apparel increased 0.2 percent in December. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, apparel prices declined 2.4 percent,

increased 8.1 percent in the 12 months ended in December, following a 6.1 percent rise in 2006.
The index for recreation was virtually unchanged in December. Decreases in the indexes for sporting goods, for photography,
for toys, and for admissions to movies, theaters, concerts, and sporting events were offset by increases in the indexes for video and
audio and for pets, pet products and services. During the 12 months ended in December, the index for recreation rose 0.8 percent as
increases in the indexes for pets, pet products and services and for recreational services--up 5.5 and 2.4 percent, respectively--more
than offset declines in the indexes for video and audio, for sporting goods, for photography, and for toys.
The index for education and communication increased 0.3 percent in December. Educational costs increased 0.5 percent while

The index for other goods and services increased 0.3 percent in December to a level 3.3 percent higher than in December 2006.
The index for tobacco and smoking products rose 0.8 percent in December and 7.5 percent during the last 12 months, accounting for
about 70 percent of the monthly increase and 45 percent of the annual change in this major group.

CPI Detailed Report - December 2007
Recalculated Seasonally Adjusted Indexes to be available on February 20, 2007
Each year with the release of the January CPI, seasonal adjustment factors are recalculated to reflect price movements from the just
completed calendar year. This routine annual recalculation may result in revisions to seasonally adjusted indexes for the previous 5
years. BLS will make available recalculated seasonally adjusted indexes, as well as recalculated seasonal adjustment factors, for the
period January 2003 through December 2007 on Friday February 15, 2008. This date is two working days before the scheduled
release of January 2008 CPI on Wednesday February 20, 2008.
The revised indexes and seasonal factors will be available on the internet. The address is https://www.bls.gov/cpi. Look
under Tables Created by BLS and select “Revised Seasonally Adjusted Data, 2007.”
For further information, please contact Jeff Wilson by electronic mail at: [email protected] or by telephone at: (202)6915382.
C-CPI-U Index Revisions
As scheduled, effective with release of data for January 2008, the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPIU) will undergo its sixth annual revision. C-CPI-U indexes for the 12 months of 2006 will be issued in final form, and values for the
12 months of 2007 will be revised and issued as interim. Calculation of the preliminary versions of the C-CPI-U - the initial version
for January and the subsequent months of 2008 and the interim (revised initial) indexes for 2007 - will employ the 2005-06
expenditure weights also used in the CPI-U and CPI-W. Note that the final values of the C-CPI-U employ monthly expenditure
weights corresponding to the price collection period in their calculation. Thus, in calculation of the final (revised interim) C-CPI-U
values for the months of 2006, the biennial 2005-2006 expenditure weights will be replaced with separate monthly expenditure
weights.

CPI Detailed Report - December 2007
REPORT ON QUALITY CHANGES FOR 2008 MODEL VEHICLES
Passenger Cars
The value of quality changes for a sample of nine 2008 model year domestically produced passenger cars included in the Producer
Price Index (PPI) for October averaged $158.04, according to estimates by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S.
Department of Labor. There was an average $67.55 increase in manufacturers’ invoice prices for this year's models as compared with
last year's models. The retail equivalent value of these quality changes averaged $170.17. Average manufacturer’s suggested list
prices increased $64.12.
The $170.17 estimated retail value of quality change breaks down as follows:
• $82.39 for safety improvements such as changes to tire pressure monitor sensors and
airbag systems;
• $87.78 for other quality changes such as changes in audio systems and changes in levels
of standard or optional equipment.
Light Trucks
The value of quality changes for a sample of twenty-one 2008 model year domestically produced light trucks included in the PPI for
October averaged $256.06. There was an average $305.64 increase in manufacturers’ invoice prices for this year's models as
compared with last year's models. The retail equivalent value of quality changes for domestically produced light trucks averaged
$276.92. There was an average increase of $342.60 in manufacturer’s suggested list prices.
The $276.92 estimated retail value of quality change breaks down as follows:
• $126.69 for safety improvements such as stability control and airbag systems;
• $150.23 for other quality changes such as changes to audio systems, theft protection, and
changes in levels of standard or optional equipment.
Estimates of the value of quality change are based on a review by the BLS of data supplied by producers for similarly equipped 2007
and 2008 domestically produced models priced for the Producer Price Index. Most of the estimates of quality changes in this release
are derived from information supplied for the Producer Price Index for October. These data also form the basis of the new vehicle
quality adjustment for the Consumer Price Index (CPI). However, it should be noted that, effective with the release of data for
January 1999, changes made solely for the purpose of meeting air pollution standards are no longer considered quality improvements
for CPI calculation purposes.

- 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.

CPI Detailed Report - December 2007
Technical Notes
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 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 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-CPI-U), which cover approximately 87 percent of the total population and include, in addition to wage earner 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 in 87 urban areas across the country
from about 50,000 housing units and approximately 23,000 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 through personal visits or telephone calls by BLS trained representatives.
In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights that 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 also are 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
measure only 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 is subject to two annual revisions.
The index measures price change from a designated reference date. For the CPI-U and the CPI-W, the reference base is 1982–84
= 100.0. The reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999 = 100.0. An increase of 16.5 percent from the reference base, for
example, is shown as 116.5. This change also can 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.
For further details, visit the CPI homepage on the Internet at https://www.bls.gov/cpior contact our CPI Information and Analysis
Section at (202) 691-7000.
Calculating index changes
Movements of the indexes from one month to another usually are 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, whereas percent changes are not. The
example shown in the box on this page 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.

Regions defined
The states in the four regions are listed below.
The Northeast--Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and
Vermont.
The Midwest--Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and
Wisconsin.
The South--Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
The West--Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and
Wyoming.
Energy prices
Prices usually are available for the U.S. city average, 13 large metropolitan areas, the 4 census regions, 3 size classifications, and 10
areas reflecting the 4 census regions cross-classified by the 3 population sizes. However, not all energy commodities and services are
used in every area of the country. Fuel oil, for example, is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South
and West. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA appears. This designation also appears 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 published city or
region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area will be published.
All prices are collected monthly by BLS representatives in the urban areas 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.
Natural 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 CPI. 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 not only are for different consumption amounts, but may also be calculated
from different types of residential rate schedules. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally
suitable for use in place-to-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas, and for 500 kilowatt
hours of electricity (shown in table P1) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of
the CPI. Because 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 CPI.
Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. (See table P1.) Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than 1
gallon. These prices are converted to a gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity or quick payment.
Gasoline and automotive diesel fuel. Gasoline and diesel prices, shown in table P3, are collected at the pump from a sample of full
service, miniservice, and self-service gas stations. Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as
follows, according to the source indicated:
1 therm = 100,000 BTUs (U.S. Department of Energy)
1 kwh = 3,412 BTUs (Edison Electric Institute)
1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTUs (U.S. Department of Energy)

CPI Detailed Report - December 2007
Food and beverage prices
Actual weighted average prices for food and beverages are calculated each month at the national level and for the four census
geographic regions, as shown in table P4. 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 to
satisfy the need for local area data. It should be noted that the average prices for food 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 commodities 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 appears. When a price is not available from an individual
store in any month, an estimated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. For cases in
which the proportion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price is not published, and
NA appears for that item in the table.
Because of space limitations in the table, the description for each item is abbreviated. Detailed specifications are available from
BLS information offices or from the Washington office, upon request.
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 unadjusted 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 2002 through December 2006 were replaced in January 2007. 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: 44 of the 73 components are seasonally adjusted for 2007.
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.
In January 2007, BLS adjusted 37 series using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment, including selected food and beverage
items, fuel oil, motor fuels, vehicles, jewelry, admission to sporting events and educational books and supplies. For example, this
procedure was used for the Motor fuel series to offset the effects of damage to oil refineries from Hurricane Katrina, as well as the
effects of implementing new fuel requirements in the United States.
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: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.htm.
