CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
MARCH 2010
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.1 percent in March, the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the index increased 2.3 percent before seasonal adjustment.
The seasonally adjusted increase in the all items index was mostly due to an increase in the fresh fruits and vegetables index,
which rose 4.6 percent in March and accounted for over 60 percent of the all items increase. Other food at home indexes were mixed
and the index for food away from home was unchanged.
The index for energy and for all items less food and energy were both unchanged in March. Within energy, an increase in the
electricity index was offset by declines in the indexes for gasoline and natural gas. Within all items less food and energy, the indexes
for medical care, new vehicles, and used cars and trucks posted increases, while the indexes for shelter, household furnishings and
operations, and apparel declined.

Consumer Price Index Data for March 2010
Food
The food index rose 0.2 percent in March after rising 0.1 percent in February. The index for food away from home, which had
increased every month since January 2003, was unchanged in March. In contrast, the index for food at home rose 0.5 percent, its
largest increase since September 2008. The index for fruits and vegetables rose 3.4 percent due to the sharp rise in the fresh fruits and
vegetables index. Other grocery store food groups registered only small changes in March. The meats, poultry, fish, and eggs index
increased 0.2 percent, while the indexes for dairy and related products and for nonalcoholic beverages were unchanged and the
indexes for cereals and bakery products and for other food at home declined slightly. The food index has risen 0.2 percent over the last
12 months, with the food at home index still down 0.7 percent over that period despite the March increase.

CPI Detailed Report-March 2010
Energy
The energy index, which fell 0.5 percent in February, was unchanged in March. The gasoline index declined for the second
straight month, falling 0.8 percent. (Before seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices rose 4.5 percent in March and have increased 41.4
percent over the past 12 months.) The index for household energy rose in March, increasing 1.3 percent mostly because of a 2.1
percent rise in the electricity index. The fuel oil index rose 0.7 percent, but the index for natural gas declined 0.7 percent. Over the last
12 months the energy index has risen 18.3 percent.
All items less food and energy
The index for all items less food and energy was unchanged in March after rising 0.1 percent in February. The shelter index
declined in March, falling 0.1 percent due to a 0.1 percent decline in owners’ equivalent rent. The index for household furnishings and
operations fell 0.4 percent in March, its ninth decli0ne in the past 10 months. The index for apparel fell 0.4 percent and the recreation
index declined 0.1 percent. In contrast to these declines, the medical care index rose 0.3 percent in March with the index for hospital
services increasing 1.1 percent. The index for used cars and trucks continued to rise, increasing 0.5 percent, and the new vehicles
index rose 0.1 percent. Over the last 12 months the index for all items less food and energy has risen 1.1 percent, its smallest increase
since January 2004. This is largely explained by the continued deceleration of the shelter index, which has now fallen 0.6 percent over
the last 12 months.
Not seasonally adjusted CPI measures
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 2.3 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of
217.631 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index rose 0.4 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 3.0 percent over the last 12 months
to an index level of 213.525 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index rose 0.5 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.
The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 2.5 percent over the last 12 months. For the
month, the index increased 0.4 percent on a not seasonally adjusted basis. Please note that the indexes for the post-2008 period are
subject to revision.
The Consumer Price Index for April 2010 is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, May 19, 2010, at
8:30 a.m. (EDT).

CPI Detailed Report-March 2010
Experimental Consumer Price Index for Americans 62 Years of Age and Older, 1998-2009
Introduction
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a
representative market basket of consumer goods and services. The CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) represents the spending
habits of about 87 percent of the population of the United States. The CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), a
subset of the CPI-U population, represents about 32 percent of the U.S. population. 1
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) also calculates an experimental price index for Americans 62 years of age or older (often
called the CPI-E). This article reviews price changes seen in the experimental CPI-E from December 1997 through December 2009
and reiterates the methods, sources of data, and limitations of the experimental index described in earlier articles2. Over the 12-year
period from December 1997 through December 2009, the experimental CPI-E rose 36.1 percent. This compares to increases of 33.9
and 33.8 percent for the CPI-U and CPI-W, respectively.
Methodology, sources of data, and limitations
Although this study indicates a slightly higher overall inflation rate for older Americans compared to the official CPI population
groups, any conclusions drawn from it should be used with caution because of the various limitations, summarized below, inherent in
the methodology.
Expenditure weights. For purposes of index estimation, the CPI is divided into strata cross-classified by 38 areas and 211 item
categories. For each CPI population group, these area/item strata are weighted according to their importance in the spending patterns
of the respective population. The definition of the population of older Americans used for the experimental price index was all urban
noninstitutionalized consumer units that met one of the following three conditions:
1) Unattached individuals who were at least 62 years of age;
2) Members of families whose reference person (as defined in
the Consumer Expenditure Survey) or spouse was at least
62 years of age; or
3) Members of groups of unrelated individuals living
together who pool their resources to meet their living
expenses, whose reference person was at least 62 years of
age.
In the 2007-2008 Consumer Expenditure Survey, which are used as the source of expenditure weights in the CPI for 2010-2011,
18 percent of the urban consumer units met the above definition for older Americans. Because the number of consumer units used for
determining weights in the experimental index was relatively small, expenditure weights used in the construction of the experimental
price index have a higher sampling error than those used for the larger populations.
For each population group, the base expenditure weight of any component represents the actual expenditure on that component
in the base period. The "relative importance" of any component is its base expenditure weight updated for changes in relative prices
expressed as a percent of the total updated expenditures for the population. The relative importance data for each of the three
population groups for December 2009 are shown in Table 1.
Areas and outlets priced. The CPI-E is a weighted average of price changes for the same set of strata and collected from the
same sample of urban areas used in calculating the CPI-U and CPI-W. Because the strata are defined by metropolitan area as well as
item category, this means that the CPI-E reflects the general geographic distribution of the urban population.
1
The Chained CPI for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U), which BLS began publishing in August 2002 with data back to January
2000, also represents the urban population. The prices used in the C-CPI-U are the same as those used to produce the CPI-U and CPIW, but the C-CPI-U uses a different formula and different weights to combine basic indexes.
2
For example, the April 2008 Monthly Labor Review article by Kenneth J. Stewart, “The experimental consumer price index for
elderly Americans (CPI-E), 1982-2007” provided estimates of the series for all items and major CPI expenditure components from
December 1982 through December 2007.
4
CPI Detailed Report-March 2010
Retail outlets are selected for pricing in the CPI based on data reported in a separate survey representing all urban
households. The experimental index also uses the same retail outlet sample. The outlets thus selected may not be representative of the
places of purchase (for example, the types of store or their locational distribution within metropolitan areas) of the elderly population.
Items priced. One major limitation of the experimental index is that the item samples priced within selected outlets are
determined with probabilities proportionate to total urban (and not elderly) expenditures. As a result, the specific items selected for
pricing in each outlet may not be representative of the experimental index population.
Prices collected. A final source of uncertainty about the appropriateness of using the CPI-U prices for the index of the older
population concerns the availability of discount prices for older Americans. For example, senior-citizen discount rates are used in the
CPI in proportion to their use by the urban population as a whole. To the extent that senior-citizen discounts take the form of a fixed
percentage discount from the regular price, this may not be a problem. If, however, the discount is not expressed as a percentage of
the price, or if that percentage is periodically adjusted, the scarcity of senior-citizen discount prices in the current CPI could lead to
error in the experimental index.
Because of the above limitations, any conclusions drawn from these analyses should be treated as tentative.
Relative behavior of price indexes
Table 2 shows the behavior of the CPI-E, CPI-U, and CPI-W for selected expenditure categories for the period December 1997
through December 2009. Over this 12-year period, the reweighted experimental price index for older Americans (CPI-E) rose 36.1
percent. This compares with increases of 33.9 percent for the CPI-U and 33.8 percent for the CPI-W.
The relative importance data for the CPI-E and the CPI-U and CPI-W populations show that older Americans devote a
substantially larger share of their total budgets to medical care (see Table 1). In addition, for each population group, medical care
prices rose more rapidly than the overall (all items) index during each of the eight years studied. For this reason, the medical care
component accounts for a significant portion of the difference between the higher rate of increase measured for the CPI-E relative to
the two official population groups during the 1998-2009 period.
Price change for each major expenditure group varied by population because the distribution of expenditures on the products and
services within the major groups varied among the three index populations. For example, within the housing major group, the weight
for owner-occupied shelter is higher for the elderly than the CPI-U and CPI-W populations, as a higher proportion of elderly own
homes than the other population groups. The weight for rent, on the other hand, is smaller for the CPI-E population.
The CPI and its relationship to Social Security benefits
Adjustments to Social Security benefits are currently based on the percent change in the CPI-W, measured from the average of
the third quarter of one year to the third quarter of the succeeding year.
While the population covered for this study includes persons 62 years of age and older, it is important to note that it differs in
many ways from the population receiving Social Security benefits.
First, many Social Security beneficiaries are younger than 62 years of age, and receive benefits because they are surviving
spouses and/or minor children of covered workers or because of disability. The spending patterns of this younger group are excluded
in the weights for the experimental index for older Americans. Second, a substantial number of persons 62 years of age and older do
not receive Social Security benefits, especially those 62-64 years of age. Although these older consumers are included in the
population covered by the experimental reweighted index, they would be excluded from an index specifically defined to reflect the
experience of Social Security pensioners.
In short, an index designed specifically to measure price change for Social Security beneficiaries (i.e., one that excludes older
people not receiving benefits, but includes younger persons receiving survival and disability benefits) might well show price
movements that differ from those of the experimental index.

CPI Detailed Report-March 2010
Conclusions
This report summarizes the change in the prices of three population groups: the CPI-U, the CPI-W, and the CPI-E, the
experimental population of Americans older than 62 years of age, for the period December 1997 through December 2009. During this
time period, the CPI-E increased at a slightly higher rate than either of the two official populations.
The CPI-E, reweighted to incorporate the spending patterns of older consumers, behaved more like the CPI-U than the CPI-W.
This was expected, because the CPI-U includes the expenditures of all urban consumers, including those 62 years of age and over.
The CPI-W, however, is limited to the spending patterns of wage-earner and clerical families and, therefore, specifically excludes the
experience of families whose primary source of income is from retirement pensions.
Finally, the medical care component of the CPI has a substantially larger relative weight in the experimental population
compared to the CPI-U or CPI-W. As a result, the medical care component tends to have a larger effect on the elderly population than
it does on the other two indexes. Other differences also play an important role, however, such as the greater weight of
homeownership in the CPI-E.
Finally, the experimental price index has limitations as an estimate of the inflation rate experienced by older Americans. Because
of the various limitations inherent in the methodology, any conclusions drawn from these data should be made with caution.

6 Indexes on a November 1996=100 base.
- 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.

- 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.

CPI Detailed Report-March 2010
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 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.

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
117
CPI Detailed Report-March 2010
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 2005 through December 2009 were replaced in January 2010. Exceptions to the usual revision
schedule were: the updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977; and, in January 2002, dependently
seasonally adjusted series were revised for January 1987-December 2001 as a result of a change in the aggregation weights for
dependently adjusted series. For further information, please see “Aggregation of Dependently Adjusted Seasonally Adjusted Series,”
in the October 2001 issue of the CPI Detailed Report.
The seasonal movement of all items and 54 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 73 selected
components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 73
components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data
will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that
period. Note: 46 of the 73 components are seasonally adjusted for 2010.
Seasonally adjusted data, including the all items index levels, are subject to revision for up to five years after their original
release. For this reason, BLS advises against the use of these data in escalation agreements.
Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for 1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has used an enhanced seasonal
adjustment procedure called Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Intervention Analysis Seasonal
Adjustment allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the
seasonal pattern are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. Beginning with the calculation of
seasonal factors for 1996, X-12-ARIMA software was used for Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment.
For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2010, BLS adjusted 30 series using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment,
including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels, electricity and vehicles. For example, this procedure was used for the Motor
fuel series to offset the effects of events such as damage to oil refineries from Hurricane Katrina.
For a complete list of Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment series and explanations, please refer to the article “Intervention
Analysis Seasonal Adjustment”, located on our website at https://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.htm.

Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or contact David Levin at (202) 691-6968, or by e-mail at
