CPI Detailed Report-December 2009
CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
DECEMBER 2009
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the December Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.1 percent, the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the index increased 2.7 percent before seasonal adjustment.
The seasonally adjusted increase in the all items index was broad based, with the indexes for food, energy, and all items less food
and energy all posting modest increases. Within the latter group, a sharp rise in the index for used cars and trucks was the largest
contributor to the 0.1 percent increase, while the indexes for airline fares, apparel, and lodging away from home rose as well. In
contrast, the indexes for rent and owners’ equivalent rent were unchanged and the index for new vehicles declined.
Grocery store food indexes showed broad-based increases, leading to the food index rising 0.2 percent, its largest one-month
advance in over a year. The energy index also rose 0.2 percent; this was its smallest increase in five months. The indexes for fuel oil
and gasoline rose, but the electricity index was unchanged and the natural gas index declined.

Year in Review
For the 12 month period ending December 2009, the CPI-U rose 2.7 percent, compared to 0.1 percent for 2008. The larger increase
was primarily due to the energy index, which rose 18.2 percent during 2009 after falling 21.3 percent in 2008. The energy upturn was
caused by the gasoline index, which rose 53.5 percent in 2009 after declining 43.1 percent in 2008. The household energy index, in
contrast, declined 4.9 percent during 2009 with the index for natural gas falling 18.1 percent and the electricity index declining 0.5
percent. The food index, which rose 5.9 percent in 2008, fell 0.5 percent for the 12 months ending December 2009, the first
December-to-December decline since 1961. The index for food away from home rose 1.9 percent while the food at home index fell
2.4 percent. Within food at home, all six major grocery food groups posted declines in 2009 after rising in 2008. The dairy and related
products group declined the most, falling 7.6 percent, its largest annual decline since 1938.
The index for all items less food and energy rose 1.8 percent during 2009, the same increase as in 2008. This identical increase
was the result of offsetting factors. Pushing the index higher were vehicle prices, which rose in 2009 after declining in 2008. The
indexes for new vehicles rose 4.9 percent in 2009 and the index for used cars and trucks increased 9.2 percent. Additionally, the
apparel index turned up in 2009, rising 1.9 percent after declining in each of the previous two years. The medical care index rose more
rapidly in 2009, increasing 3.4 percent after a 2.6 percent increase the previous year, and the tobacco index increased 30.1 percent in
1
CPI Detailed Report-December 2009
2009 after rising 6.3 percent in 2008. Largely offsetting these accelerations was the shelter index, which posted its smallest annual
increase since its inception in 1953. It increased only 0.3 percent after increasing 1.9 percent in 2008, with the indexes for both rent
and owners’ equivalent rent increasing 0.7 percent. Also, the indexes for recreation and for household furnishings and operations both
declined in 2009 after rising in 2008.
Consumer Price Index Data for December 2009
Food
The food index rose 0.2 percent in December after rising 0.1 percent in each of the previous two months. The food at home index
increased 0.3 percent, its largest increase since October 2008. Among the major grocery store food groups, the index for meats,
poultry, fish, and eggs was unchanged while the other five groups all posted increases. The index for cereals and bakery products rose
0.6 percent, while the dairy and related products index increased 0.5 percent after declining 0.7 percent in November. The indexes for
fruits and vegetables and for other food at home both rose 0.3 percent while the index for nonalcoholic beverages increased 0.2
percent. The index for food away from home increased in December, rising 0.1 percent after increasing 0.2 percent in November.

oil index rose 1.1 percent after a 9.0 percent increase in the previous month, but the index for natural gas fell 0.7 percent. The index
for electricity, which increased 1.4 percent in November, was unchanged in December.
All items less food and energy
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.1 percent in December after being unchanged in November. The index for used
cars and trucks rose 2.5 percent in December, accounting for almost half of the increase in the all items less food and energy index.
The index for airline fares also continued to rise, increasing 2.4 percent in December after advancing 3.8 percent in November. Also
increasing were the apparel index, which rose 0.4 percent, and the medical care index, which rose 0.1 percent. The shelter index,
which declined 0.2 percent in November, was unchanged in December. The indexes for rent and owners’ equivalent rent were both
unchanged after declining in November, while the index for lodging away from home rose 0.5 percent in December. The index for
new vehicles declined in December, falling 0.3 percent after increasing in each of the previous three months. The recreation index also
declined in December, falling 0.4 percent as televisions, sporting goods and toys were among many recreation components that posted
declines.

CPI Detailed Report-December 2009
Recalculated Seasonally Adjusted Indexes to be Available on February 17, 2010
Each year with the release of the January CPI, seasonal adjustment factors are recalculated to reflect price movements from the justcompleted 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 2005 through December 2009, on Wednesday, February 17, 2010. This date is two working days before the scheduled
release of the January 2010 CPI on Friday, February 19, 2010.
The revised indexes and seasonal factors will be available on the internet. The address is
https://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.html. Look under Seasonal Adjustment in the CPI and select Revised Seasonally Adjusted Indexes
and Factors, 2005-2009.
For further information please contact David Levin by electronic mail at: [email protected] or by telephone at: (202) 6915261.
C-CPI-U Index Revisions
As scheduled, effective with release of data for January 2010, the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U)
will undergo its annual revision. C-CPI-U indexes for the 12 months of 2008 will be issued in final form – employing monthly
expenditure weights from 2008. Values for the 12 months of 2009 will be revised and issued as interim, using expenditure weights
from the 2007-2008 period. Calculation of the initial value of the January 2010 C-CPI-U index, and all subsequent months in 2010,
will also be based upon 2007-2008 expenditure weights.
Expenditure Weight Update
Effective with the release of the January 2010 CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will update the consumption expenditure
weights in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers (CPI-W) to the 2007-08 period. The updated expenditure weights for these indexes will replace the 2005-2006
weights that were introduced effective with the January 2008 CPI release. As originally announced by BLS in December 1998, CPI
expenditure weights will continue to be updated at two-year intervals.

CPI Detailed Report-December 2009
REPORT ON QUALITY CHANGES FOR 2010 MODEL VEHICLES
Passenger Cars
The value of quality changes for a sample of 2010 model year domestically produced passenger cars included in the Producer Price
Index (PPI) for October averaged $249.69, according to estimates by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This change
represents 30.8 percent of the average $811.69 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 $271.42, representing 38.0 percent of the average $713.99
over-the-year increase in manufacturers' suggested list prices.
Light Trucks
The value of quality changes for a sample of 2010 model year domestically produced light trucks included in the PPI for October
averaged $(5.02). The average increase in manufacturers' invoice prices for this year's models was $793.46 as compared with last
year's models.
The retail equivalent value of quality changes for domestically produced light trucks averaged $(2.92). The average overthe-year increase in manufacturers' suggested list prices was $752.81. The $(2.92) estimated retail value of quality change breaks
down as follows:
* $45.50 for mandated and non-mandated safety changes such as improvements to headrests and airbags.
* $(48.42) for other quality changes such as changes in audio systems, powertrains, 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 2009
and 2010 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 some of the new
vehicle quality adjustments 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 2009
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 or contact our C
PI 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.

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
122
CPI Detailed Report-December 2009
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.
For additional information on seasonal adjustment in the CPI, please write to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of
Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or contact Jeff Wilson on (202) 691-6968, or by e-mail at
