CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
MARCH 2011
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.5 percent in March on a seasonally adjusted
basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 2.7 percent
before seasonal adjustment.
Gasoline and food prices continued to rise and together accounted for almost three quarters of the seasonally adjusted
all items increase in March. The gasoline index posted its ninth consecutive increase and has now risen 14.4 percent over
the last three months. The household energy index rose as well, with advances in the fuel oil and electricity indexes more
than offsetting a decline in the index for natural gas. The food at home index continued to accelerate in March, rising 1.1
percent as all six major grocery store food groups increased.
The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.1 percent in March, a smaller increase than in the previous two
months. The index for shelter rose slightly, as did the index for medical care. Several transportation indexes posted
significant increases, including new vehicles, used cars and trucks, and airline fares. In contrast, the indexes for apparel and
for household furnishings and operations both declined in March.
The all items index rose 2.7 percent in the last 12 months, the largest increase since December 2009. The energy index
has now risen 15.5 percent over the last 12 months, with the gasoline index up 27.5 percent. The food index has risen 2.9
percent with the food at home index up 3.6 percent. The index for all items less food and energy has increased 1.2 percent
with the shelter index up 0.9 percent.

Consumer Price Index Research Series Using Current Methods, 1978-2010
Introduction
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the most widely used measure of inflation in the United States, and affects nearly all
Americans. Annual cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for Social Security recipients and federal and military retirees are tied to
changes in the CPI. The CPI also is used in the annual escalation of federal income tax brackets as well as personal exemption and
standard deduction amounts. In addition, the CPI is used in the creation and analysis of many key economic indicators where real or
constant-dollar measures are needed, including estimates of income, earnings, productivity, output, and poverty.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has made numerous improvements to the CPI over the past thirty-plus years. While these
improvements make the present and future CPI more accurate, historical price index series are not adjusted for such improvements.1
That said, the accuracy of the historical CPI is of great importance and interest to a variety of researchers. This paper presents an
estimate of the CPI-U from 1978 to 2010 that incorporates most of the improvements made over that time span into the entire series.
This measure, called the CPI research series using current methods (CPI-U-RS), attempts to answer the question, “What would have
been the measured rate of inflation from 1978 forward had the methods currently used in calculating the CPI-U been in use since
1978?”
The CPI-U-RS is used by other statistical agencies that prefer a historically consistent CPI to deflate economic measures. The
Bureau of Economic Analysis used the CPI-U-RS in its 1999 comprehensive revision of the National Income and Product Accounts.2
The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses the CPI-U-RS in its measure of real hourly compensation for its quarterly measure of labor
productivity and costs.3 In addition, the Census Bureau uses the CPI-U-RS in estimates of historical real income. 4
The CPI-U-RS was constructed by adjusting U.S.-level CPI-U index series for methodological improvements, usually at the
level of the item stratum such as new vehicles or residential rent.5 That is, the adjustments were not made to the aggregate all-items
CPI-U directly, but rather to its component indexes. These adjusted series were then aggregated to form the all-items CPI-U-RS and
other high-level aggregates. It is important to note in this regard that the component indexes were adjusted directly; individual prices
were not used to recompute those indexes.
The CPI-U-RS provides an annual inflation series that adjusts only for specified changes in BLS methodology. No attempt has
been made to incorporate research results, such as on the value of safer, but perhaps less comfortable, air travel, for which there is no
corresponding methodological change in the CPI-U. Nevertheless, the CPI-U-RS is expected to be of use to forecasters and other
researchers in analyzing the trends and other movements in consumer inflation over the last two decades. It should help to answer the
question of the degree to which the measured rate of inflation has been affected by improvements BLS has made.
Over the 33-year period of the study (December 1977 – December 2010), the CPI-U-RS increased 221.9 percent, compared to
252.9 percent for the CPI-U over the same time period. This represents an average annual increase of 3.61 percent for the CPI-U-RS,
compared to 3.90 percent for the CPI-U, for an average annualized difference between the two measures of 0.29 percent.
Methodological Improvements to the CPI, 1978-2010
There have been a number of significant methodological improvements made to the CPI since 1978. The CPI-U-RS differs from
the CPI-U in that the CPI-U-RS is adjusted to incorporate estimates of what the measured rate of inflation would have been had those
improvements to the CPI-U been made earlier. Table 1 lists all the improvements made to the CPI since 1978 for which estimates of
historical effects were made and included in the CPI-U-RS.6
Unlike the CPI-U, the historical CPI-U-RS is revised annually to incorporate the estimated historical effect of new methods, and
to improve adjustments previously made. In addition, there were several improvements made to the CPI since 1978 for which
no adjustments to the CPI-U-RS were made.7 Adjustments to the CPI-U-RS were not made if the impact of the improvement on the
rate of growth of the index could not be estimated or was believed to be negligible.

CPI Detailed Report-March 2011
Limitations of the CPI-U-RS
There are two primary limitations of the CPI-U-RS. The first reflects uncertainty surrounding the magnitude of each adjustment
made to the CPI-U-RS. The second reflects the fact that some improvements to the CPI-U, for which no adjustments were made to
the CPI-U-RS, may nevertheless have affected the rate of inflation as measured by the CPI-U.
Most adjustments to the CPI-U-RS were based on BLS research that estimated the impact of methodological changes to the CPI
over a relatively short period of time, and the effect of a given methodological change (outside the period of study) is assumed to be
constant over time. For example, while the price changes for the experimental CPI using geometric means (CPI-U-XG) were used to
adjust most CPI item categories from 1991-98, the CPI-U-RS was adjusted downward from 1978-90 by the average differences
between the CPI-U and CPI-U-XG from 1991 to the mid-1990s. Similarly, apparel indexes for the CPI-U-RS from 1978-90 are
adjusted based on study of the effect of the improvement during the last six months of 1991. While there is typically a great degree of
confidence about the direction of the adjustment made to the CPI-U-RS, there must be less confidence about the precise size of
adjustments made based on such extrapolation.
Similarly, as noted above, there have been a number of methodological improvements made to the CPI for which no estimate
was made for the CPI-U-RS. Other organizations, such as the Congressional Budget Office and the Council of Economic Advisers,
have estimated the impact of some of these CPI improvements on the projected rate of inflation for budget forecasts.
Results
Over the 33-year period of the study (December 1977 – December 2010), the CPI-U-RS increased 221.9 percent, compared to 252.9
percent for the CPI-U over the same time period; the annualized difference between the two measures is approximately 0.29 percent.
Table 2 gives the December-to-December percent changes for 1978 through 2010 for the CPI-U and CPI-U-RS for the All Items index
and for CPI major groups.

Note: From 1978-1997, there were seven major groups in the CPI. In 1998, entertainment was dropped as a major group, and two major groups were
added: recreation, and education and communication.
*These represent changes from December 1997-December 2010
**Entertainment was dropped as a major group in December 1997; these numbers represent percent changes from December 1977 through December
1997.
Conclusion and Future Research
Since the CPI-U does not incorporate methodological changes retroactively, the BLS developed the CPI-U-RS for researchers
interested in a measure of inflation that attempts to use current and consistent methods of estimating consumer inflation over the 19782010 time period.
The CPI-U-RS provides a somewhat different picture of inflation from 1978-2010 by including an estimate of most
improvements made over time in the CPI back to 1978. This can provide users of CPI data a new perspective on inflation, and on the
performance of the American economy, over the 1978-2010 time period.
Researchers should be aware of the limitations of the CPI-U-RS, including the fact that adjustments made to the CPI-U-RS from
1978 forward typically reflect extrapolations of estimates made over later, and much shorter, periods. In addition, the CPI-U-RS is not
adjusted for many improvements made to the CPI over the past 33 years. Nonetheless, for some purposes, the CPI-U-RS can serve as
a valuable proxy for what the CPI-U would have been had current methods been in place from 1978 forward.
The CPI-U-RS is subject to revision. When an improvement is made to the CPI, and an estimate of the effect of that change can
be made, the CPI-U-RS will be revised to reflect that improvement. In addition, if a superior method of adjusting the CPI-U-RS for
past improvements is made available, the adjustments reported here will be refined.

CPI Detailed Report-March 2011
1
Historical CPI indexes are occasionally revised when data collection or processing errors are discovered. Methodological improvements, however,
do not result in data revisions.
2
See the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Survey of Current Business, October 1999.
3
See the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, "Productivity and costs, second-quarter measures, 1999", August 1999.
4
See the U.S. Bureau of the Census, Money Income in the U.S., 1998, September 1999.
5
Because of limitations of available data, adjustments for periods prior to the 1987 CPI Revision often had to be made at a slightly higher level of
aggregation, roughly corresponding to the level of a CPI expenditure class.
6
A more detailed description of most of these methodological changes is available in Kenneth J. Stewart and Stephen B. Reed, “Consumer Price
Index research series using current methods, 1978-98,” Monthly Labor Review, June 1999, pp. 29-38.

These are more fully described in Stewart and Reed.

- 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 2011
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 each month in 87 urban areas
across the country from about 4,000 housing units and approximately 26,000 retail establishments—department stores, supermarkets,
hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use
of items are included in the index. Prices of fuels and a few other items are obtained every month in all 87 locations. Prices of most
other commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas.
Prices of most goods and services are obtained 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.

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)

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 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 2006 through December 2010 were replaced in January 2011. 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.
Effective with the publication of data from January 2006 through December 2010 in January 2011, the Video and audio series
and the Information technology, hardware and services series were changed from independently adjusted to dependently adjusted.
This resulted in an increase in the number of seasonal components used in deriving seasonal movement of the All items and 54 other
lower level aggregations, from 73 for the publication of January 1998 through December 2005 data to 82 for the publication of
seasonally adjusted data for January 2006 and later. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain
statistical criteria. If any of the 82 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally
adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last 5 years, but the seasonally
adjusted indexes before that period will not be changed. Note: 37 of the 82 components are not seasonally adjusted for 2011.
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 2011, BLS adjusted 29 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.
