CPI Detailed Report-November 2011
CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
NOVEMBER 2011
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged in November on a seasonally adjusted basis, the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 3.4 percent before seasonal
adjustment.
The energy index declined for the second month in a row and offset increases in the indexes for food and all items less food and
energy. As in October, the gasoline index fell sharply and the index for household energy declined as well. The food index rose
slightly in November, though the index for food at home declined as four of the six major grocery store food group indexes fell.
The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.2 percent in November following increases of 0.1 percent in each of the
prior two months. The indexes for shelter, medical care, apparel, and personal care all rose. These increases more than offset declines
in the indexes for new vehicles and used cars and trucks.
The all items index has risen 3.4 percent over the last 12 months. This is a slightly smaller increase than last month’s 3.5 percent
figure, as the 12-month change in the energy index declined from 14.2 percent to 12.4 percent. The 12-month change in the food index
also declined slightly, from 4.7 percent to 4.6 percent. In contrast, the 12-month change in the index for all items less food and energy
continued to rise, reaching 2.2 percent in November.

Consumer Price Index Data for November 2011
Food
The food index rose 0.1 percent in November, the same increase as in October. The index for food at home, however, declined
for the first time since June 2010, falling 0.1 percent. The fruits and vegetables index, which fell 1.7 percent in October, declined 0.6
percent in November, as both the fresh fruits and fresh vegetables indexes continued to decline. The index for dairy and related
products fell 0.3 percent in November while the indexes for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs and for other food at home both decreased
0.1 percent. The only major grocery store food groups to post increases were cereal and bakery products, which rose 0.3 percent, and
1
CPI Detailed Report-November 2011
nonalcoholic beverages, which increased 0.2 percent. Despite the November decrease, the index for food at home has risen 5.9 percent
over the past year with all six major grocery store food groups up at least 4.4 percent. The index for food away from home increased
0.3 percent in November after rising 0.2 percent in October and has risen 2.9 percent over the past year.
Energy
The energy index, which fell 2.0 percent in October, declined 1.6 percent in November as gasoline prices continued to fall. The
gasoline index decreased 2.4 percent in November following a 3.1 percent decline in October. (Before seasonal adjustment, gasoline
prices fell 1.1 percent in November.) The household energy index declined in November as well, falling 0.4 percent. A 4.4 percent
decline in the index for natural gas more than offset a 2.7 percent increase in the fuel oil index and a 0.4 percent rise in the index for
electricity. Energy indexes are still mostly up over the past year despite the November declines. The gasoline index has increased 19.7
percent, while the household energy index has risen 3.1 percent with the fuel oil index up 25.0 percent, the electricity index up 2.7
percent, but the natural gas index down 1.3 percent.
All items less food and energy
The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.2 percent in November, the largest increase since August. As was the
case last month, increases in the indexes for shelter, medical care, and apparel accounted for most of the increase. The shelter index
rose 0.2 percent, the same increase as in October, as the rent index rose 0.2 percent and the index for owners’ equivalent rent increased
0.1 percent. The index for medical care, which rose 0.5 percent in October, rose 0.4 percent in November with the medical care
services index repeating its October increase of 0.5 percent. The apparel index increased 0.6 percent in November following a 0.4
percent increase in October and has now risen in seven of the last eight months. The index for personal care rose notably in
November, increasing 0.6 percent, while the tobacco and recreation indexes both posted slight increases. In contrast, the new vehicles
index fell 0.3 percent and the index for used cars and trucks declined 0.1 percent.
The index for all items less food and energy has increased 2.2 percent over the last 12 months, the largest such increase since
2008. The 12-month change in the shelter index has been steadily increasing and reached 1.8 percent in November. The 12-month
change in the medical care index was 3.4 percent, its highest level in over a year, while the apparel index has risen 4.8 percent over the
last 12 months, the largest figure since 1991.
Not seasonally adjusted CPI measures
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 3.4 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of
226.230 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index declined 0.1 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 3.8 percent over the last 12 months
to an index level of 222.813 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index declined 0.1 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.
The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 3.2 percent over the last 12 months. For the
month, the index declined 0.1 percent on a not seasonally adjusted basis. Please note that the indexes for the post-2009 period are

- 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-November 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 (CCPI-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 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.

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.
112
CPI Detailed Report-November 2011
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 http://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 David Levin at (202) 691-6968, or by e-mail at [email protected]. If
