CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS

JANUARY 2017 

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.6 percent in January on a seasonally 

adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index 

rose 2.5 percent before seasonal adjustment. 

The January increase was the largest seasonally adjusted all items increase since February 2013. A sharp rise in 

the gasoline index accounted for nearly half the increase, and advances in the indexes for shelter, apparel, and 

new vehicles also were major contributors. 

The energy index increased 4.0 percent in January as the gasoline index advanced 7.8 percent and the index for 

natural gas also increased. The food index, which had been unchanged for 6 consecutive months, increased 0.1 

percent. The food at home index was unchanged, while the index for food away from home rose 0.4 percent. 

The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.3 percent in January. Most of the major component indexes 

increased in January, with the indexes for apparel, new vehicles, motor vehicle insurance, and airline fares all 

rising 0.8 percent or more. The shelter index rose 0.2 percent, a smaller increase than in recent months. 

The all items index rose 2.5 percent for the 12 months ending January, the largest 12-month increase since 

March 2012. The index for all items less food and energy rose 2.3 percent over the last 12 months, and the energy 

index increased 10.8 percent, its largest 12-month increase since November 2011. In contrast, the food index 

declined 0.2 percent over the last 12 months.

1 CPI Detailed Report-January 2017
Food 

The food index rose 0.1 percent in January, its first increase since April 2016. The index for food away from 

home rose 0.4 percent, its largest increase since September 2015. The food at home index was unchanged in 

January after declining in recent months. The major grocery store food group indexes were mixed, with three 

increases and three declines. The index for dairy and related products increased 0.8 percent, its largest advance 

since May 2014. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, which had declined for 16 consecutive months, rose 

0.7 percent in January as the index for eggs rose 14.3 percent. The index for other food at home also rose in 

January, increasing 0.2 percent. 

In contrast, the index for fruits and vegetables declined in January, falling 1.7 percent as the index for fresh 

vegetables decreased 3.0 percent. The index for nonalcoholic beverages fell 0.3 percent, and the index for cereals 

and bakery products declined 0.1 percent. 

The index for food at home declined 1.9 percent over the past year, largely reflecting a 4.9-percent decrease 

in the fruits and vegetables index. The other major grocery store food group indexes also declined over the past 

year, except the index for other food at home, which was unchanged. The index for food away from home rose 

2.4 percent over the past year. 

Energy 

The energy index rose 4.0 percent in January, its fifth straight increase. The gasoline index continued to rise, 

increasing 7.8 percent. (Before seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices increased 5.3 percent in January.) The index 

for natural gas also increased, rising 1.5 percent in January. The index for electricity was unchanged for the third 

month in a row. 

The index for energy increased 10.8 percent over the past year, with all of its major components rising. The 

gasoline index rose 20.3 percent, and the index for natural gas increased 10.1 percent. The electricity index rose 

more modestly, increasing 1.0 percent. 

All items less food and energy 

The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.3 percent in January. The shelter index rose 0.2 

percent in January after increasing 0.3 percent in both November and December. The rent index rose 0.3 percent, 

and the index for owners' equivalent rent increased 0.2 percent. The apparel index rose in January, increasing 1.4 

percent. The index for new vehicles rose 0.9 percent, its largest increase since November 2009. The index for 

motor vehicle insurance continued to rise, increasing 0.8 percent in January, and the index for airline fares rose 

2.0 percent. 

The medical care index also rose in January, increasing 0.2 percent. The indexes for prescription drugs and 

for hospital services both increased 0.3 percent. The recreation index increased 0.4 percent, the largest advance 

since January 2012. The index for household furnishings and operations rose 0.3 percent over the month. The 

alcoholic beverages index increased 0.2 percent, and the indexes for tobacco and for personal care both rose 0.1 

percent. The index for education was unchanged in January, as was the index for communication. The used cars 

and trucks index was one of the few to decline in January, falling 0.4 percent after increasing late in 2016. 

The index for all items less food and energy rose 2.3 percent over the past 12 months. The medical care index 

increased 3.9 percent over that span, and the shelter index rose 3.5 percent. In contrast, the indexes for used cars 

and trucks, airline fares, and communication all declined over the past 12 months. 

Not seasonally adjusted CPI measures 

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 2.5 percent over the last 12 months 

to an index level of 242.839 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index rose 0.6 percent prior to seasonal 

adjustment. 

2 CPI Detailed Report-January 2017
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 2.5 percent 

over the last 12 months to an index level of 236.854 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index increased 0.6 

percent prior to seasonal adjustment. 

The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 2.6 percent over the last 

12 months. For the month, the index rose 0.6 percent on a not seasonally adjusted basis. Please note that the 

indexes for the past 10 to 12 months are subject to revision. 

 

The Consumer Price Index for February 2017 is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, March 15, 2017, 

at 8:30 a.m. (EDT). 

Consumer Price Index Geographic Revision for 2018 

In January 2018, BLS will introduce a new geographic area sample for the Consumer Price Index 

(CPI). The 2018 revision utilizes the 2010 Decennial Census and incorporates an updated area 

sample design, changes the frequency of publication for several local area indexes, and establishes 

some new local area and aggregate indexes. The first indexes using the new structure will be 

published in February 2018. Additional information on the geographic revision is available at: 

www.bls.gov/cpi/georevision2018.htm. 

Corrections to Average Prices for Gasoline 

Average prices for gasoline for Cleveland-Akron, Ohio, Midwest Size A, and the Midwest urban were 

incorrect as originally published for the period from October 2016 through January 2017. The incorrect 

estimates have been removed from the database. Corrected estimates will be added to the database 

Wednesday, June 14, 2017. The following series are affected by this correction: 

APUA21074716 (Gasoline, unleaded premium, per gallon/3.785 liters, Cleveland-Akron, OH); 

APUA20074716 (Gasoline, unleaded premium, per gallon/3.785 liters, Midwest Size A); 

APU020074716 (Gasoline, unleaded premium, per gallon/3.785 liters, Midwest urban); 

APUA2107471A (Gasoline, all types, per gallon/3.785 liters, Cleveland-Akron, OH).

4 CPI Detailed Report-January 2017
A Note on the Use of Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data

Introduction 

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) produces both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data. Seasonally adjusted data are computed 

using seasonal factors derived by the X-13ARIMA-SEATS Seasonal Adjustment Method. These factors are updated each February, and 

the new factors are used to revise the previous five years of seasonally adjusted data. For more information on data revisions and 

exceptions to the usual revision schedule, please see the Fact Sheet on Seasonal Adjustment (http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisaqanda.htm) 

and the Timeline of Seasonal Adjustment Methodological Changes (http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpiseastimeline.htm). 

How to Use Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data

For analyzing short-term 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. This allows data users to focus on changes 

that are not typical for the time of year. 

The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data are also 

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. BLS advises against the use of seasonally 

adjusted data in escalation agreements because seasonally adjusted series are revised annually. 

Intervention Analysis 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Sometimes extreme values 

or sharp movements can distort the underlying seasonal pattern of price change. Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment is a process 

by which the distortions caused by such unusual events are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. 

The resulting seasonal factors, which more accurately represent the seasonal pattern, are then applied to the unadjusted data. 

2017 Series Adjusted Using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment

For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2017, BLS adjusted 40 series using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment, 

including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels and natural gas. For example, this procedure was used for the Motor fuel series 

to offset the effects of events such as the 2009 return to normal pricing after the worldwide economic downturn in 2008. 

Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Indexes 

Seasonally adjusted data, including the U.S. city average All items index levels, are subject to revision for up to five years after 

their original release. Every year, economists in the CPI calculate new seasonal factors for seasonally adjusted series and apply them to 

the last five years of data. Seasonally adjusted indexes beyond the last five years of data are considered to be final and not subject to 

revision. In January 2017, revised seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted indexes for 2012-2016 were calculated and published. For 

directly adjusted series, the seasonal factors for 2016 will be applied to data in 2017 to produce the seasonally adjusted 2017 indexes. 

Determining Seasonal Status

Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. Using these criteria, BLS 

economists determine whether a series should change its status: from "not seasonally adjusted" to "seasonally adjusted", or vice versa. 

If any of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all items index 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 five years, but 

the seasonally adjusted indexes before that period will not be changed. 27 of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all items index 

are not seasonally adjusted for 2017.

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 us by email at cpiseas@bls.gov. If you have general questions about the

REPORT ON QUALITY CHANGES FOR 2017 MODEL VEHICLES 

In accordance with usual practice, most new-model-year passenger cars and light motor trucks were 

introduced into the Producer Price Index (PPI) with the release of data for October 2016. 

Passenger Cars 

The value of quality changes for a sample of 2017 model year domestically produced passenger cars 

included in the PPI for October averaged $7.97, according to estimates by the U.S. Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS). This change represents 1.9 percent of the average $421.76 increase in 

manufacturers’ invoice prices for this year's models as compared with last year's models. 

The retail equivalent value of these quality changes averaged $8.39, representing 3.7 percent of the 

average $229.17 over-the-year increase in manufacturer’s suggested list prices. 

Light Trucks 

The value of quality changes for a sample of 2017 model year domestically produced light trucks 

included in the PPI for October averaged $110.59. This change represents 13.0 percent of the 

average $851.30 increase in manufacturers’ invoice prices for this year's models as compared with 

last year's models. 

The retail equivalent value of quality changes averaged $118.11, representing 18.4 percent of the 

average $642.03 over-the-year increase in manufacturer’s suggested list prices. 

The $118.11 estimated retail value of quality change breaks down as follows: 

 

• $64.97 for increases in fuel economy by changes to the powertrain and aerodynamic 

improvements. 

• $53.14 for other improvements, such as cameras, safety equipment, and the levels of 

standard or optional equipment. 

For technical information regarding quality changes for 2017 model year motor vehicles, contact 

Christopher Anfang at Anfang.Christopher@bls.gov or (202) 691-7696. For general PPI information, 

contact the PPI Section of Index Analysis and Public Information, at ppi-info@bls.gov or (202) 691-

7705. 

******** 

Estimates of the value of quality change are based on a review by the BLS of data supplied by 

producers for similarly equipped 2016 and 2017 domestically produced models priced for the PPI. 

Most of the estimates of quality changes in this notice are derived from information supplied for the 

PPI for October. These data also form the basis of the new vehicle quality adjustment for the 

Consumer Price Index (CPI). However, it should be noted that, effective with the release of data for 

January 1999, changes made solely for the purpose of meeting air pollution standards are no longer 

considered quality improvements for CPI calculation purposes. 

8 CPI Detailed Report-January 2017
Response Rates for the Consumer

Price Indexes, 2016 

This article and the accompanying tables 

update articles previously published on response rates 

in the CPI Detailed Report for March 1991, and in the 

January issues of 1993 through 2016. 

In an effort to measure the outcome of data 

collection for the CPI, the BLS calculates response 

rates. Response rates measure the proportion of 

completed surveys to those issued and help measure 

the accuracy of the CPI. Failure of a data unit to 

respond at either the data collection stage or estimation 

stage represents a loss of statistical information which 

dilutes the accuracy of the sample. The BLS publishes 

response rates annually to assist the data user in 

judging the accuracy of CPI data.

The BLS calculates response rates for the CPI-U at 

the data collection and data estimation phases for 

pricing. The response rate at the data collection phase 

is the number of responding sample units divided by 

the number of eligible sample units. A sample unit is 

eligible if it belongs to the defined target population 

and if it should provide information for one or more 

items. The percent of the sample used at estimation is 

defined as the number of sample units used in 

estimation divided by the number of eligible sample 

units.1

Response rates for 2016 are presented in 

tables R-1 through R-17. Table R-1 shows response 

rates for all data included in the CPI-U, U.S. city 

average, by major group, for all of 2016. Tables R-2 

through R-17 show rates for current data collection in 

selected areas for which indexes are published 

monthly, bimonthly, or semiannually. 

1 Imputed prices, when used in estimation, are 

counted in this estimate. Beginning in July 2010, the 

BLS began using rent prices imputed by a noninterview adjustment technique in estimation. 

The response rates in tables R-1 through R-17 are 

separated into commodities and services, and the 

shelter portion of housing. Commodities and services 

are further broken down into outlets and quotes. An 

"outlet" is a generic term that designates the place 

where prices are collected. A "quote" is a specific item 

to be priced in a specific outlet. There may be from 1 

to more than 50 quotes priced in each outlet. 

In table R-1, it is important to note the relatively 

low percentages of quotes reported, collected and used 

in estimation for apparel. Low rates for these items 

can be partially attributed to the design of the apparel 

sample. Because seasonal apparel items commonly 

are in stores only during certain times of the year, most 

of the apparel sample is doubled, with each half of the 

sample designated for pricing during part of the year. 

Thus, at any particular time of the year, a large number 

of apparel quotes, although eligible, are designated out 

of season and are not collected.

The response rates at the data collection phase for 

shelter are separated into three categories. If useable 

information is obtained, the unit is designated data 

reported. If the assigned unit is located but is 

unoccupied, the unit is designated found vacant. In 

instances where the unit is eligible but no data are 

available (for example, refusals or no one at home) the 

unit is designated other. 

For additional information on response rates, 

please contact the Consumer Price Index Information 

Office at (202) 691-7000, or email cpi_info@bls.gov. 

Therefore, nearly all eligible sample units have 

prices, collected or imputed, that are used in 

estimation.

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.

128 CPI Detailed Report-January 2017
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 89 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 6,000 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 three quarterly revisions before the final version. 

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 http://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. 

Index point change

CPI 202.416 

Less previous index 201.800 

Equals index point change .616 

Percent change

Index point difference .616 

Divided by the previous index 201.800 

Equals 0.003 

Results multiplied by one hundred 0.003 x 100 

Equals percent change 0.3 

129 CPI Detailed Report-January 2017
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. 

The Midwest--Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and 

Wisconsin. 

The South--Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, 

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). 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. 

Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. 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 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. 

130 CPI Detailed Report-January 2017
A Note on the Use of Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data

Introduction 

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) produces both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data. Seasonally adjusted data are computed 

using seasonal factors derived by the X-13ARIMA-SEATS Seasonal Adjustment Method. These factors are updated each February, and 

the new factors are used to revise the previous five years of seasonally adjusted data. For more information on data revisions and 

exceptions to the usual revision schedule, please see the Fact Sheet on Seasonal Adjustment (http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisaqanda.htm) 

and the Timeline of Seasonal Adjustment Methodological Changes (http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpiseastimeline.htm). 

How to Use Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data

For analyzing short-term 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. This allows data users to focus on changes 

that are not typical for the time of year. 

The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data are also 

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. BLS advises against the use of seasonally 

adjusted data in escalation agreements because seasonally adjusted series are revised annually. 

Intervention Analysis 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Sometimes extreme values 

or sharp movements can distort the underlying seasonal pattern of price change. Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment is a process 

by which the distortions caused by such unusual events are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. 

The resulting seasonal factors, which more accurately represent the seasonal pattern, are then applied to the unadjusted data. 

2017 Series Adjusted Using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment

For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2017, BLS adjusted 40 series using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment, 

including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels and natural gas. For example, this procedure was used for the Motor fuel series 

to offset the effects of events such as the 2009 return to normal pricing after the worldwide economic downturn in 2008. 

Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Indexes 

Seasonally adjusted data, including the U.S. city average All items index levels, are subject to revision for up to five years after 

their original release. Every year, economists in the CPI calculate new seasonal factors for seasonally adjusted series and apply them to 

the last five years of data. Seasonally adjusted indexes beyond the last five years of data are considered to be final and not subject to 

revision. In January 2017, revised seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted indexes for 2012-2016 were calculated and published. For 

directly adjusted series, the seasonal factors for 2016 will be applied to data in 2017 to produce the seasonally adjusted 2017 indexes. 

Determining Seasonal Status

Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. Using these criteria, BLS 

economists determine whether a series should change its status: from "not seasonally adjusted" to "seasonally adjusted", or vice versa. 

If any of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all items index 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 five years, but 

the seasonally adjusted indexes before that period will not be changed. 27 of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all items index 

are not seasonally adjusted for 2017. 

Contact Information 

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 us by email at cpiseas@bls.gov. If you have general questions about the 

CPI, please call our information staff at (202) 691-7000.

How to Obtain Consumer Price Index Information 

CPI information is available from BLS electronically, through publication subscriptions, and via telephone and fax through 

automated recordings. Information specialists also are available in the national and information offices to provide help and to respond 

to questions. 

Electronic access to CPI data 

BLS on the Internet. Through the Internet, BLS provides free, continuous access to published CPI data and press releases. The 

most recent month’s CPI is made available immediately at the time of release. Additionally, a database called LABSTAT, containing 

current and historical data for the CPI, is accessible. 

World Wide Web. BLS maintains a Web site at http://www.bls.gov on the Internet. This BLS homepage provides access to 

LABSTAT, as well as links to program-specific homepages. The CPI homepage http://www.bls.gov/cpi/ provides other CPI information, 

as well as indexes. This includes a brief explanation of methodology, frequently asked questions and answers, contacts for further 

information, and explanations of how the CPI program handles special items, such as medical care and housing. In addition, CPI press 

releases and historical data for metropolitan areas can be accessed by linking to the regional office home pages from the main BLS Web 

site listed above. 

Recorded CPI data 

Summary CPI data are provided on 24-hour recorded messages. Detailed CPI information may be obtained by calling (202) 691-
