CPI Requirements of CE 

William Casey 

June 17, 2010 

Consumer expenditure data supplied by the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) are a critical 

component of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). These data are used to estimate weights for the 

CPI’s consumer goods and services classification structure used in calculation of the CPI, often 

referred to as the ‘market basket’ of consumer purchases. The primary purpose of this paper is to 

outline CPI’s requirements for and use of CE data for creation of the CPI market basket 

expenditure weights. Furthermore, this paper outlines additional features that the CPI program 

would find useful. CPI’s current uses and additional features are addressed separately and 

divided into parallel categories for ease of review. The data outlined in this document should not 

be construed as changes that CPI is requesting from CE. 

CPI Overview 

The CPI provides an estimate of the price change of the goods and services that consumers 

purchase from one period to another. This is accomplished by observing prices for a sample of 

goods and services that consumers purchase, and then creating aggregate estimates of price 

change using average expenditure weights from data that CE provides. Conceptually, the CPI is 

a cost-of-living index that estimates the cost of maintaining a constant standard of living from 

one period to another. Indexes are published monthly for a variety of categories, ranging from 

an index for all-items in the United States to more detailed indexes for a broad range of 

categories of goods and services for metropolitan areas.

CPI Uses of CE Data 

In the construction of the CPI, four distinct functional uses of CE data are made, each of which 

will be explained more fully in the remainder of this paper1: 

1. CPI uses CE data to estimate annualized expenditures, for the total urban population 

and the urban wage-earner population groups, for the CPI-U and CPI-W price 

indexes. These expenditure weights are updated biennially. 

2. CPI uses CE data to estimate monthly expenditure weights for the urban population to 

construct the Chained CPI index series (C-CPI-U). 

3. CPI uses annualized expenditure estimates from CE data to probabilistically select 

item categories for pricing. 

4. CPI uses annualized expenditure estimates from CE data to allocate expenditure 

estimates between more broadly defined expenditure categories from other survey 

sources. 

CE provides data elements for 1) expenditures, 2) demographics and, to a limited extent, 3) 

outlets. These data elements are provided along three dimensions: 1) consumption detail, 2) 

geography, and 3) periodicity. The quality of CE data is greatly impacted by 1) timeliness and 2) 

sample size. These data elements (with the exception of outlets) along these dimensions with 

these quality factors are required for CPI to continue estimation of its indexes without significant 

methodological change.

Data Element 1: Expenditure Data 

Current Uses 

CPI requires that CE collect net out-of-pocket expense to acquire all consumer products and 

services, within CPI’s scope at the appropriate geographic level, item detail, and periodicity. 

Expenditures are not required at the household level. CPI’s expenditure scope is net out-ofpocket-expense for market goods and services, and government-provided goods for which user 

charges are assessed. Investments like stocks, bonds, real estate, business expenses, and life 

insurance are considered non-consumption by the CPI and are excluded from CPI indexes; CPI 

does not require the collection of these expenditures. Illegal goods, gambling winnings and 

losses, fines, cash gifts, child support, alimony payments, and interest payments are also 

excluded. 

There are several exceptions to the net out-of-pocket expense approach: owned housing, 

maintenance and repair of owned housing, and major appliances for owned housing are adjusted 

from net out-of-pocket expense to eliminate investment elements of expenditure on those goods. 

For consumption expenditures of owned housing, CPI requires collection of the rental value of 

the home to represent the consumer unit’s housing cost. Similarly, CPI requires that housing 

tenure (renter/owner status and building type) be captured for purchases of appliances and home 

maintenance and repair in order to separate the consumption components of those expenditures 

from the investment component. Owner expenditures on major appliances and home 

maintenance and repair are based on the corresponding mean expenditures of renters and 

likelihood of renters to purchase those types of appliances and perform those types of home 

maintenance and repair. 
4

Additional Interests 

For research purposes, CPI would prefer to receive expenditure data for each component of the 

CPI item structure from each household for use in demographic or household indexes. However, 

the preferred feature of a complete, detailed set of expenditures by household holds less 

importance than other CPI preferences, particularly outlet-specific data.

Data Element 2: Demographics 

Current Uses 

The CPI target population is the urban non-institutional population. Therefore, CPI requires that 

data elements are present to separate non-rural, non-farm, non-military, and non-institutional 

consumers. CPI must be able to identify households living in urban areas for which a majority of 

household income is earned in wage-earning or clerical occupations, in order to produce the CPIW, and households where the head of the household are 62 years of age or older, in order to 

produce the CPI-E. 

Additional Interests 

CPI finds additional demographic data particularly useful in constructing experimental indexes 

and in pursuing other research. Identifying respondents by age, race, gender, occupation(s), 

income range, education, CU size, and number of children are all variables used either in CPI 

processing of CE data or are used frequently in research. All of these variables could be useful 

tools in constructing experimental and research indexes given ample sample size. 
5

Data Element 3: Outlet Data 

Current Uses 

There are no current requirements for CE to provide CPI with outlet information. 

Additional Interests 

CPI is interested in exploring the expansion of point of purchase information within the CE 

survey for the purpose of selecting stores in which CPI collects monthly price information. Point 

of purchase information would include outlet names and locations for brick and mortar 

purchases, outlet names for catalog purchases, and web domains for online purchases. These 

data would replace the Telephone Point of Purchase survey currently used by CPI. This 

information could be collected for all or a subset of expenditure categories and CPI is interested 

in exploring ways to reduce the burden of this addition either through sub-sampling in Computer 

Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) or other means. CPI deems point of purchase 

information from the CE survey as a high priority for improvements to the survey, both in its 

current form and in the future redesign. 

Auxiliary data attributes provided by CE are described in Appendix A. 

Dimension 1: Consumption Detail 

Current Uses

Classification detail of goods and services purchased is vital in creating the CPI market basket. 

CPI divides all in-scope expenditures into 8 Major Groups, 70 Expenditure Classes, and 211 
6

Item Strata. CPI currently uses the Item Strata as the elementary level of its expenditure weights, 

item sampling, and index calculation. Some examples of Item Strata include bread, coffee, toys, 

and new cars and trucks. Entry Level Item (ELI) data, one level below the Item Strata, are 

required for item sample selection for the Item Strata that are heterogeneous (with multiple 

ELIs), which determines probabilities for how many items CPI prices in each PSU. Of the above 

examples of Item Strata, only toys and new cars and trucks are multi-ELI Item Strata. ELIs 

matched to these are recreational toys, games, and hobbies; and video games; new cars and 

trucks; and new motorcycles. The ELI level is the lowest level of data that CPI requires from 

CE. A full listing of Item Strata, ELIs, and UCCs can be found in Appendix B. 

The reason CPI uses ELIs is that some Item Strata are too broad to select from goods of the same 

Item Strata in a store. Therefore, the process of item sample selection narrows the range of items 

that CPI will enter a store to choose to price. Below is an example of the calculation performed 

during item sample selection, illustrating the need for detail at the ELI level. This example uses 

the Item Strata Major Appliances (HK01) in the Area of Washington, DC (A312). Through 

previous calculations, CPI has determined it will price four Major Appliances within this 

particular store in this sample period. CPI requires ELI level expenditure estimates in order to 

select probabilities (share of total expenditures by Item Strata in the region) for each of the four 

ELIs within Major Appliances. 
7

CPI also requires that the CE definitions of expenditure classifications be sufficiently adaptable 

to accommodate future changes to the CPI market basket structure and the introduction of new 

products. CPI periodically changes definitions within Item Strata or ELIs as the market structure 

changes. CPI requires that CE be able to change its expenditure detail accordingly and provide 

expenditure estimates based on revised CPI definitions within one calendar year of the change. 

Additional Interests 

CPI may benefit from CE collecting data at a level lower than ELI in some cases. CPI has a 

level of detail lower than the ELI called the Cluster. In some cases, having cluster level weights 

would allow the process of item sample selection, above, to be performed at the cluster level. 

The goal of this would be a reduction of burden at outlets.

Dimension 2: Geography 

Current Uses 

Geographically, CPI requires data collected within each of the 31 self-representing A-sized 

Index Areas. CPI also requires data collected within at least one PSU from each of the 57 

geographic strata that comprise the 7 non-self-representing Index Areas.

Additional Interests

CPI prefers that the CE surveys be administered in a rolling sample of PSUs, synchronized with 

PSUs being priced by CPI, so expenditure periods for PSUs and Areas correspond to pricing 

periods in those PSUs and Areas. CPI recommends CE surveys continue to be administered in 

rural areas for research purposes and production of Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices 

(HICP) weighted indexes. CPI uses county information by household for some purposes, but 

does not require sampling at the county level or any location information more specific than 

PSU. 

Dimension 3: Periodicity 

Current Uses 

CPI requires monthly and annual CPI-U population expenditures and annual CPI-W and CPI-E 

population expenditures. Annual expenditures are required for the CPI-U population for 

production of the CPI-U and preliminary versions of the C-CPI-U, and for the CPI-W population 

for production of the CPI-W. Monthly weights are required for the production of the final 
9

version of the C-CPI-U. CPI would not use any expenditure data at a level more specific than 

monthly. 

Additional Interests 

CPI has no additional interests for periodicity of CE data. 

Quality 1: Timeliness 

Current Uses 

September 1 is the deadline for CPI to receive all final expenditure data for the previous calendar 

year from CE. This allows CPI to process the expenditure data for calculation of January 

indexes in the following year, published in February. At present, the requisite monthly data for 

the C-CPI-U are not available until two-years after the required time. 

Additional Interests 

CPI is interested in CE verifying data on a quarterly basis in order to reduce C-CPI-U final index 

delays. If CE verified data for expenditure weights on a quarterly basis, CPI estimates a 12 to 14 

month reduction in the lag of the publication of final C-CPI-U indexes. 

 
10

Quality 2: Sample Size 

Current Uses 

CPI requires sufficient sample to provide one year base period expenditure estimates for each 

CPI area and population (urban, wage earner, and elderly) with variance equal to or less than 

current index variance. This requirement is not currently met. As a result, CPI must aggregate 

CE expenditure estimates over a two year period in order to produce CPI expenditure weights.

CPI requires that ELIs be selected based on expenditure-based probabilities that are 

representative at the PSU level. CE does not currently meet this requirement and CPI must 

aggregate expenditures to the ELI-Region level in order to have a large enough sample for each 

probability. 
11

Additional Interests 

ELI probability selection requires the largest expenditure sample sizes of any of the current CPI 

production uses because sufficient sample is required at the ELI-PSU level. Additional research 

may require larger sample sizes in the future based on demographic-based sub-indexes.

Appendix A: Auxiliary Data Attributes 

Current Uses 

‐ Data on secondary homes by rent status, vacancy rates, occupancy rates, and location are 

used in calculation of expenditures on secondary homes. Special adjustments are required to 

these homes because they cannot always be rented, due to location and demand. For 

example, CPI would not want to collect the same rental equivalence value year-round for a 

beach house that has much higher demand, occupancy rates, and rental value during summer 

months. The above data attributes can be used to estimate more accurate rental values for 

such homes. 

‐ Medical reimbursements are required for net out-of-pocket expenditure by consumer unit. 

When consumers pay out-of-pocket for medical goods and services, they are often later 

reimbursed by medical insurance. CPI requires that CE collect reimbursement data 

separately from expenditure data for medical goods and services. 

‐ New car expenses must be collected as net out-of-pocket expense but any trade-in value 

received at the dealer must be added to that expense. Trade-in value and the value of used 

cars sold by consumers are then deducted from expenditures on used vehicles for that 

geographic area. This is done so that expenditures on used vehicles reflect only dealer value 

added. Without subtracting trade-in value from used car sales, CPI would be doublecounting the consumption of the vehicle each time it was sold and purchased. 

Additional Interests 

‐ Income imputation for determining CPI-U and CPI-W status. (Currently collected) 
13

‐ Gasoline expenditures collected by grade of fuel. CPI has separate ELIs for regular, midgrade, premium, diesel, and alternative fuels. (Not currently collected)

Notes

1 CE collects food at home while on vacation expenditures as a separate category. For CPI use, these 

expenditures are allocated across all food expenditure classes. 

2 In order to price the rental equivalence of secondary homes and timeshares, CPI uses a factor to account for 

the consumption portion of a homeowner's total expenditure. The factor is variable based on the type of 

ownership situation. 

3 It is required that CPI reduce the homeowners insurance weight to reflect only the renter's part of the 

owner’s expenditure. The factor applied is 43%.

4 Renter UCCs are paired with homeowner UCCs for calculation of rental equivalence adjustments. 

5 Maintenance to one's home can be considered an investment. For this reason, an allocation factor is applied 

to remove investment expense from the total consumption expenditure. 

6 The purchase of an appliance serves in many cases as an investment in the owner's home. For this reason an 

adjustment must be made so that CPI only accounts for the consumption portion (or renter's part) of the total 

expenditure. 

7 Medical reimbursements are allocated across all families. This is done in order to smooth the expenditure 

data because a family may be reimbursed during a period in which they had no medical expenses. 

8 Gasoline expenditures are not allocated into categories (regular, premium, diesel, etc.) at collection. This 

allocation distributes total gasoline expenditures (UCC 470111) amongst the gasoline ELIs by expenditure 

habits in each PSU.
