CPI Detailed Report-February 2008
CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
FEBRUARY 2008
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.3 percent in February before seasonal adjustment, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The February level of 211.693 (1982-84=100) was 4.0
percent higher than in February 2007.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 0.2 percent in February prior
to seasonal adjustment. The February level of 207.254 (1982-84=100) was 4.4 percent higher than in February 2007.
The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 0.3 percent in February on a not
seasonally adjusted basis. The February level of 122.251 (December 1999=100) was 3.7 percent higher than in February 2007.
Please note that the indexes for the post-2006 period are subject to revision.
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U was virtually unchanged in February, following a 0.4 percent rise in January. Each of
the three groups--food, energy, and all items less food and energy--contributed to the deceleration. The index for food at home,
which rose 0.9 percent in January, increased 0.3 percent. The moderation reflected a downturn in the indexes for fruits and
vegetables, for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, and for nonalcoholic beverages. The index for energy turned down in February as a
1.9 percent decline in the index for energy commodities more than offset a 1.7 percent increase in the index for energy services.
The index for all items less food and energy was virtually unchanged after increasing 0.3 percent in January. The deceleration
reflects smaller increases in the indexes for shelter, for medical care, for recreation, for education and communication, and for other
goods and services, and a decline in the index for apparel.

The food and beverages index rose 0.4 percent in February. The index for food at home, which advanced 0.9 percent in
January, increased 0.3 percent in February. Downturns in the indexes for fruits and vegetables, for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs,
and for nonalcoholic beverages were responsible for the moderation. The index for fruits and vegetables declined 1.3 percent,
following a 2.2 percent rise in January. The indexes for fresh vegetables and for fresh fruits declined 4.0 and 0.4 percent,
respectively, while the index for processed fruits and vegetables increased 1.7 percent. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs,
which advanced 0.8 percent in January, declined 0.1 percent in February. Price decreases for pork and for poultry--down 1.4 and
0.6 percent, respectively--more than offset a 0.5 percent increase in beef prices. The index for nonalcoholic beverages, which rose
1.6 percent in January, declined 0.1 percent in February, reflecting a decline in prices for coffee. On the other hand, the other three
grocery store food groups advanced more in February than in January. The index for cereal and bakery products rose 1.8 percent,
its largest monthly advance since January 1975. The index for dairy products, which rose 0.2 percent in January, increased 0.8
percent in February. The index for other food at home increased 1.0 percent, following a 0.4 percent rise in January. The other two
1
CPI Detailed Report-February 2008
components of the food and beverages index--food away from home and alcoholic beverages--each increased 0.4 percent, the same
as in January.
The index for housing increased 0.2 percent in February. The index for shelter was virtually unchanged in February,
following a 0.3 percent increase in January. Within shelter, the indexes for rent and for owners' equivalent rent increased 0.2 and
0.1 percent, respectively, while the index for lodging away from home fell 1.2 percent. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, the index for
lodging away from home increased 2.8 percent.) The index for household fuels, which declined 0.1 percent in January, increased
1.5 percent as a 7.2 percent increase in the index for natural gas more than offset decreases in the indexes for fuel oil and for
electricity--down 1.5 and 0.3 percent, respectively. The index for household furnishings and operations was virtually unchanged in
February.
The transportation index decreased 0.7 percent in February. The index for gasoline declined 2.0 percent, accounting for
about 95 percent of the overall transportation decrease. As of February, gasoline prices were 2.6 percent below their peak level
recorded in May 2007. The index for new vehicles declined 0.3 percent in February. (As of February, about 84 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 was
virtually unchanged. During the last 12 months, new vehicle prices declined 0.8 percent, while prices for used cars and trucks rose
2.0 percent. The index for public transportation decreased 0.1 percent in February, reflecting in part a 0.3 percent decrease in the
index for airline fares. (Prior to seasonal adjustment airline fares rose 1.2 percent in February and are 7.6 percent higher than in
February 2007.)
The index for apparel declined 0.3 percent in February, following increases in each of the preceding five months. (Prior to
seasonal adjustment, apparel prices increased 1.8 percent, reflecting the introduction of spring-summer wear.)
Medical care costs rose 0.1 percent in February. The index for medical care commodities--prescription drugs,
nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies--rose 0.1 percent. The index for medical care services also rose 0.1 percent. The index
for professional services was virtually unchanged, while the index for hospital and related services advanced 0.3 percent.
The index for recreation increased 0.1 percent in February. Increases in the indexes for pets, pet products and services, for
recreational books, and for toys were partially offset by declines in the indexes for video and audio and for sporting goods.
The index for education and communication increased 0.1 percent in February. Educational costs rose 0.3 percent, while
communication costs were virtually unchanged. Within the communication group, declines in the indexes for telephone services
and for personal computers and peripheral equipment--down 0.1 and 0.5 percent, respectively--were offset by increases in the
indexes for computer software and accessories and for internet services and electronic information providers--each up 0.6 percent.
The index for other goods and services increased 0.2 percent in February. The index for tobacco and smoking products
rose 0.4 percent accounting for about 42 percent of the monthly increase in this major group. The advance in the index for
miscellaneous personal services, reflecting increases in laundry and dry cleaning, other apparel services, and financial services, was
partially offset by declines in prices for personal care products.

Variance Estimates for Price Changes in the Consumer Price Index
January -December 2007
Owen J. Shoemaker
This article presents variance estimates for 1-month, 2-month, 6-month, and 12-month percent changes in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). Variance is a measure of the uncertainty caused by the use of a sample of retail prices, instead of
the complete universe of retail prices. The estimates cover the period January 2007 through December 2007.1 Each month the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics collects prices from a sample of approximately 80,500 commodities and services (C&S) quotes in
approximately 26,000 outlets2 around the United States for the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The most commonly used measure of sampling variability is the standard error of the estimate – the square root of the variance.
The standard error of the CPI’s change can be used to construct confidence intervals to determine whether the change for a particular
CPI series is significantly different from zero. This information should help users determine which index changes are significant.
Presentation of findings
The percent changes in the CPI along with their standard errors were estimated for the 12 months from January through December
2007. In summary, tables 1V through 5V show the median values of those percent changes, as well as the median values of the
standard errors. Table 1V shows this information for U.S. city average, and tables 2V through 5V show the same information for the
Northeast, Midwest, South, and West regions of the country.
For example, from January through December 2007, the 1-month changes in the U.S. city average all items index had a median
value of 0.29 percent. The standard errors of those 12 estimates had a median value of 0.05 percent. Margins of error are usually
expressed as a statistic’s point estimate plus or minus two standard errors, so the margin of error on this CPI’s 1-month change is
approximately 0.29 percent plus or minus 0.10 percent. Therefore, in a typical 1-month period, the true change in the CPI was
probably somewhere between 0.19 percent and 0.39 percent. The tables also show median percent changes and standard errors for 2and 6-month intervals and for the full year 2007. Margins of error can be calculated for these intervals in the same way as for a 1month period.
Analysis of findings
Analyzing the data reveals three significant observations. First, standard errors increase as one moves from the U.S. city average to
individual regions of the country and from all items to individual item categories. Second, standard errors differ between item
categories. Third, the standard errors decrease on a relative basis (standard error divided by price change), as the price change
interval gets longer.
The primary reason standard errors increase as one moves from the U.S. city average to individual regions of the country is that
sample sizes differ. In general, smaller sample sizes lead to larger standard errors. For example, the U.S. city average all items index
is computed each month from the prices of approximately 84,000 selected items (including all Rent and REQ quotes) throughout the
United States, and its median standard error for 1-month changes is 0.05 percent. By contrast, the Northeast region all items index is
computed from the prices of approximately 19,500 selected items, and its median standard error is 0.11 percent. Regional indexes
have larger standard errors because their sample sizes are smaller.
One can observe this same effect moving from the all items index to individual item categories. Again, the U.S. city average all
items index is computed each month from the prices of approximately 84,000 selected items, and its median standard error is 0.05
percent. By contrast, the U.S. city average recreation index is computed from the prices of approximately 5,500 items, and its median
standard error is 0.13 percent, or more than twice as large. Again, smaller sample sizes lead to larger standard errors.
The second significant observation is that standard errors differ between item categories. There are two reasons for this. First,
item categories differ in sample size. For example, the U.S. city average food and beverages index is computed from approximately
33,000 prices each month, while the U.S. city average recreation index is computed from approximately 5,500 prices. Therefore, it is
not surprising that the recreation index has larger standard errors. Second, there are real differences in item category price behaviors

In 1998 significant changes were made to the CPI’s structure and sample, and a new variance calculation system was implemented.
For information on variances from 1978-1986, 1993-1997 and then 1998 and 1999, see the CPI Detailed Report for February 1991,
May 1994, February 1998, December 1999, and November 2000, respectively.

In addition, BLS collects approximately 3,800 shelter quotes, used for both Rent and Rental Equivalence (REQ), each month.

caused by different selling practices, seasonal influences, and consumer demand. This is especially true for the apparel category, in
which it is common for the prices of individual items to fluctuate by 50 percent or more each month. As a result, standard errors for
apparel indexes are large.
The third observation is that standard errors decrease, on a relative basis (standard error divided by price change), as the price
change interval gets longer. For the U.S. city average all items index, the median standard error divided by the median percent
change is 0.05/0.29 = 0.172 for 1-month changes, 0.07/0.67 = 0.104 for 2-month changes, 0.10/1.36 = 0.074 for 6-month changes,
and 0.11/2.70 = 0.041 for the 12-month change between December 2006 and December 2007. This shows that the relative accuracy
of percent changes in the CPI generally improves as the price change interval gets longer. On an absolute basis, standard errors tend
to increase, but at a decreasing rate.
Findings presented here indicate that users should exercise caution when using CPI estimates to make inferences about index
changes for relatively short time periods, for individual goods and services, or for local areas. The standard errors of those estimates
may be on the same order of magnitude as the estimates themselves; and, thus, few inferences about them are reliable.
Sources of error
One way of analyzing the error in a survey estimate is to divide the total error into two sources: sampling error and non-sampling
error. Sampling error is the uncertainty in the CPI caused by the fact that a sample of retail prices is used to compute the CPI, instead
of using the complete universe of retail prices. Non-sampling error is the rest of the error. Non-sampling error includes things such
as incorrect information given by survey respondents, data processing errors, and so forth. Non-sampling error arises regardless of
whether data are collected from a sample of retail prices or from the complete universe.
Another way of analyzing error is to divide it into variance and bias. The variance of the CPI is a measure of how close different
estimates of the CPI would be to each other if it were possible to repeat the survey over and over using different samples. Of course, it
is not feasible to repeat the survey multiple times, but statistical theory allows the CPI’s variance to be estimated anyway. A small
variance, for example, indicates that multiple independent samples would produce values that are consistently very close to each
other. Bias is the difference between the CPI’s expected value and its true value. A statistic may have a small variance but a large
bias, or it may have a large variance but a small bias. For an index to be considered accurate, both its variance and bias need to be
small.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is constantly trying to reduce the error in the CPI. Variance and sampling error are reduced
by using a sample of retail prices that is as large as possible, given resource constraints. BLS has developed a model that optimizes the
allocation of resources by indicating the number of prices that should be observed in each geographic area and each item category, in
order to minimize the variance of the U.S. city average all items index. BLS reduces non-sampling error through a series of
computerized and professional data reviews, as well as through continuous survey process improvements and theoretical research.
Replication and variance estimation
An important advantage of using sampling is that the CPI’s variance can be estimated directly from the sample data. Starting in 1978,
the CPI’s sample design has accommodated variance estimation by using two or more independent samples of items and outlets in
each geographic area. This allows two or more statistically independent estimates of the index to be made. The independent samples
are called replicates, and the set of all observed prices is called the full sample.
BLS collects CPI data in 38 geographic areas across the United States. These areas consist of 31 self-representing areas and 7
non-self-representing areas. Self-representing areas are large metropolitan areas, such as the Boston, St. Louis, and San Francisco
metropolitan areas. Non-self-representing areas are collections of smaller metropolitan areas. For example, one non-self-representing
area is a collection of 32 small metropolitan areas in the Northeast region (Buffalo, Hartford, Providence, Bangor, and others), of
which 8 were randomly selected to represent the entire set. Within each of the 38 areas, price data are collected for 211 item
categories called item strata. Together the 211 item strata cover all consumer purchases. Examples of item strata are bananas,
women’s dresses, and electricity.
Multiplying the number of areas by the number of item strata gives 8,018 (= 38 u 211) different area and item combinations for
which price indexes need to be calculated. Separate price indexes are calculated for each one of these 8,018 area and item
combinations. After all 8,018 of these basic-level indexes are calculated, they are aggregated to form higher-level indexes, using
expenditure estimates from the Consumer Expenditure Survey as their weights. Examples of higher-level geographic areas are the
four regions (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West); and examples of higher-level item categories are the eight major groups (food &
beverages, housing, apparel, transportation, medical care, education and communication, recreation, and other goods and services).
The highest level of geographic aggregation is the U.S. city average, and the highest level of item aggregation is all items.
Variances are computed with a Stratified Random Groups Method, in which variances are computed separately for certain subsets
of areas and items and are then combined to produce the variance of the entire area and item combination. Subsets of items are
formed by the intersection of the item category with each of the eight major groups.

CPI Detailed Report-February 2008
Let CPI(A,I,f,t) denote the index value where A = area, I = item category, f indicates that it is the full-sample value, and t = month;
and let CPI(A,I,f,t-k) denote the value of the same index in month = t-k. In general, the upper-case letter A denotes a set of areas, such
as the Northeast or Midwest region of the country; and the upper-case letter I denotes a higher-level item category, such as all items or
all items less food and energy. Also let CPI(A,I,r,t) and CPI(A,I,r,t-k) be the corresponding index values for replicate = r. Most areas
have two replicates, but some have more. Then, the full-sample k-month percent change between months t-k and t is computed by
dividing CPI(A,I,f,t) by CPI(A,I,f,t-k), subtracting 1, and multiplying by 100:

¹
Every index has a weight W(A,I,f) or W(A,I,r) associated with it, which is used to combine the index with other indexes to
produce indexes for larger geographic areas and larger item categories. For example, the weights are used to combine all 8,018 basiclevel indexes into higher-level indexes such as the U.S. city average all items index. The product of an index and its weight is called a
cost weight, CW(A,I,r,t) = CPI(A,I,r,t) u W(A,I,r), and is an estimate of the total cost in area = A for consumption of item category =
I in month = t.
For the Stratified Random Groups method used here, replicate percent changes are defined as follows: full sample cost weights are
used for every geographic area within area = A except for one of the areas. In the omitted area, the full sample cost weight is replaced
by a replicate cost weight. Let the lower case letter a denote one of the 38 basic-level areas included in area = A, and let the lower
case letter i denote the intersection of item category = I with one of the 8 major groups. Then, the replicate percent change, for area =
a, item subset = i, replicate = r, between months t-k and t, is computed as:

and likewise for replicates. The symbol “aA” means that the sum is over all basic-level areas within area = A, and the symbol iI
means that the sum is over all item categories that are intersections of item category = I with a major group.
Then, the variance is computed with the following Stratified Random Groups Variance Estimation Formula:
Ra

V [ PC ( A, I , f , t , t k )] = ¦ ¦
PC S (a, i, r , t , t k ) PC ( A, I , t , t k ) 2

where S and N are the sets of all self-representing and non-self-representing areas in the CPI’s geographic sample, respectively; and
AˆS and AˆN are the sets of all self-representing and non-self-representing areas within area = A. The number Ra is the number of
replicates in area = a.
Finally, the standard error of the percent change is computed by taking the square root of its variance:

- Data not available.
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.

- Data not available.
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.

CPI Detailed Report-February 2008
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/cpi orcontact 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.

CPI Detailed Report-February 2008
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)
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
130
CPI Detailed Report-February 2008
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 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 2003 through December 2007 were replaced in January 2008. 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: 48 of the 73 components are seasonally adjusted for 2008.
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 2008, BLS adjusted 20 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: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.htm.
