CPI Detailed Report-May 2013
CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
MAY 2013
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.1 percent in May on a seasonally adjusted basis, the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 1.4 percent before seasonal
adjustment.
The shelter index rose 0.3 percent and accounted for more than half of the seasonally adjusted all items increase in May. The
energy index rose modestly, with the gasoline index flat but increases in the electricity and natural gas indexes accounting for the rise.
The food index, however, turned down in May, with the food at home index falling 0.3 percent.
The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.2 percent in May. Besides the shelter increase, advances in the indexes
for airline fares, recreation, and apparel also contributed to the rise. In contrast, the indexes for medical care and used cars and trucks
declined in May.
The all items index increased 1.4 percent over the last 12 months, an increase from last month’s 1.1 percent figure. The 12month change in the index for all items less food and energy remained at 1.7 percent. The food index has risen modestly over the last
12 months, advancing 1.4 percent, while the index for energy has declined, falling 1.0 percent.

Discontinuation of Department Store Inventory Indexes
The Bureau of Labor Statistics will discontinue publication of its Department Store Inventory indexes after the release of the
December 2013 CPI in mid-January 2014, and these values will no longer be uploaded to the Labstat database. For further information
please contact Sharon Gibson at 202-691-6968 or [email protected].
Publication Changes for Average Price Series
The Bureau of Labor Statistics will discontinue publication of three average price series after the release of the June 2013 CPI in
mid-July 2013. They are:
-
utility (piped) gas, 40 therms;
utility (piped) gas, 100 therms; and
electricity, 500 kilowatt hours.
The Bureau will, however, continue to publish average prices for utility (piped) gas on a per therm basis, and will continue to
publish electricity prices on a per kilowatt hour basis. As such, users will be able to convert these data to any consumption amount.

- 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.

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.

CPI Detailed Report-May 2013
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
28 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 covers approximately 88 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 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-May 2013
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.

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
113
CPI Detailed Report-May 2013
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 2008 through December 2012 were replaced in January 2013. 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 2013.
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 2013, BLS adjusted 31 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.
