CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS

JANUARY 2015 

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) declined 0.7 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 decreased 0.1 percent before seasonal 

adjustment.

The energy index fell 9.7 percent as the gasoline index fell 18.7 percent in January, the sharpest in a series of seven consecutive 

declines. The gasoline decrease was overwhelmingly the cause of the decline in the all items index, which would have risen 0.1 percent 

had the gasoline index been unchanged. The fuel oil index also fell sharply, and the index for natural gas turned down, although the 

electricity index rose. The food index was unchanged in January, with the food at home index falling for the first time since May 2013.

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

personal care, for apparel, and for recreation increased as well. The medical care index was unchanged, while an array of indexes 

declined in January, including those for household furnishings and operations, alcoholic beverages, new vehicles, used cars and trucks, 

airline fares, and tobacco. 

The all items index declined 0.1 percent over the last 12 months, the first negative 12-month change since the period ending 

October 2009. The energy index fell 19.6 percent over the span, with the gasoline index down 35.4 percent. The food index rose 3.2 

percent, and the index for all items less food and energy increased 1.6 percent. 

Consumer Price Index Data for January 2015 

Food 

The food index was unchanged in January after rising through all of 2014. The index for food at home turned down in January, 

falling 0.2 percent after increasing in each of the last six months. Four of the six major grocery store food groups declined in January.

The fruits and vegetables index fell 0.9 percent, with the indexes for fresh fruits and fresh vegetables both declining. The dairy and 

related products index also fell 0.9 percent, its largest decline since April 2012. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs fell slightly 

1 CPI Detailed Report-January 2015
in January, decreasing 0.1 percent despite the index for beef and veal rising 0.1 percent. The index for other food at home, which rose 

in November and December, also declined 0.1 percent in January. The food at home index has increased 3.3 percent over the last 12

months, with all six major grocery store food group indexes rising over that span. The largest increase was posted by the meats, poultry, 

fish, and eggs group, which rose 8.7 percent with the beef and veal index increasing 19.0 percent. The index for food away from home 

increased 0.2 percent in January after a 0.3 percent increase in December and has risen 3.1 percent over the last 12 months.

Energy

The energy index fell 9.7 percent in January, its seventh consecutive decline and the largest one-month decrease since November 

2008. The 18.7 percent decline in the gasoline index was the main factor. (Before seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices fell 17.1 percent

in January.) The fuel oil index also fell sharply, declining 9.9 percent after a 7.8 percent decline in December. The index for natural gas, 

which rose in December, fell 3.4 percent in January. The electricity index was the only major energy component to increase, rising 0.9 

percent, its largest increase since May 2014. The electricity index is also the only major energy component to rise over the last 12 

months, increasing 2.5 percent over the span. The gasoline and fuel oil indexes have declined sharply over the period, falling 35.4 

percent and 29.7 percent, respectively. The index for natural gas has declined slightly over the span, decreasing 0.4 percent. 

All items less food and energy

The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.2 percent in January. The shelter index increased 0.3 percent, with the rent 

and owners' equivalent rent indexes both rising 0.2 percent and the index for lodging away from home rising 1.3 percent. The personal 

care index rose 0.6 percent in January, its largest increase since the inception of the index in 1999. The apparel index rose 0.3 percent, 

and the recreation index increased 0.2 percent. The index for medical care was unchanged in January, with the index for medical care 

services rising, but the medical care commodities index falling. Several indexes posted modest declines in January. The index for

household furnishings and operations fell 0.2 percent, and the indexes for new vehicles and for used cars and trucks both fell 0.1 percent. 

The index for alcoholic beverages fell 0.3 percent, as did the index for airline fares. The tobacco index also declined, falling 0.2 percent 

after rising in December. 

The index for all items less food and energy has risen 1.6 percent over the past 12 months, the same figure as for the 12 months

ending December. The index for shelter has risen 2.9 percent over the span, and the indexes for medical care, for new vehicles, and for 

alcoholic beverages are among those that have also increased. Indexes that have declined over the past year include those for used cars 

and trucks, airline fares, household furnishings and operations, and apparel. 

Not seasonally adjusted CPI measures

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) decreased 0.1 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 

233.707 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index fell 0.5 percent prior to seasonal adjustment. 

The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) decreased 0.8 percent over the last 12 months 

to an index level of 228.294 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index fell 0.7 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.

The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) decreased 0.6 percent over the last 12 months. For the 

month, the index fell 0.7 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 2015 is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, March 24, 2015, at 

8:30 a.m. (EDT).

3 CPI Detailed Report-January 2015
Chained Consumer Price Index to be Revised Quarterly 

Effective with this release of CPI data for January 2015 on February 26, 2015, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is beginning quarterly 

revisions of the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U). In addition, a Constant Elasticity of Substitution 

(CES) formula will replace the geometric mean formula for the calculation of Initial and Interim C-CPI-U indexes. 

More frequent weight updates and index revisions. Whereas CPI-U and CPI-W indexes are considered final when released, the 

final C-CPI-U index is published with a lag for administration and processing of Consumer Expenditure Survey household data, the

source of the final C-CPI-U monthly expenditure weights. Under the traditional annual revision process, the final C-CPI-U index was 

published 13 to 24 months after the CPI-U. The CPI program is implementing a new estimation system that calculates monthly 

expenditure weights and revised C-CPI-U indexes on a quarterly basis. Under the new quarterly process, the final C-CPI-U index will 

lag the CPI-U index by 10 to 12 months.

Final C-CPI-U indexes for 2014 will be published on the following quarterly schedule:

Index Month Release Month

January 2013 – March 2014 February 2015

April – June 2014 May 2015

July – September 2014 August 2015

October – December 2014 November 2015

Initial C-CPI-U indexes will continue to be released concurrent with the CPI-U release, and will be updated as interim C-CPI-U

indexes with every quarterly revision until the final version is published. 

New formula for initial and interim C-CPI-U Indexes. The CES formula will replace the geometric mean formula for initial and 

interim C-CPI-U indexes effective with this February 26, 2015 release. The CES formula is an improvement over the geometric mean

formula because the CES formula more closely models consumer substitution behavior. 

With the use of the geometric mean formula, consumers are assumed to consistently substitute within item classification to goods

whose prices are falling relative to others. Using a fixed quantity formula, such as a Laspeyres formula, consumers are assumed to make 

no substitutions between goods when faced with relative price change. In reality, consumers respond to relative price changes differently 

than either model implies. The CES formula attempts to capture the amount of substitution occurring in the marketplace as consumers 

respond to changing relative prices.

For further details on the implementation of the CES formula and the frequency of weight updates for the C-CPI-U, please 

contact the CPI Information and Analysis section at (202) 691-6966.

New Estimation System

Effective with this release of the January 2015 CPI on February 26, 2015, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is utilizing a new estimation 

system for the Consumer Price Index. The new estimation system, the first major improvement to the existing system in over 25 years,

is a redesigned, state-of-the-art system with improved flexibility and review capabilities. For more information on this new system, 

please see https://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpinewest.htm.

A Note on 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-13ARIMA-SEATS Seasonal Adjustment 

Method. Seasonally adjusted indexes and seasonal factors are computed annually. Each year, the last five years of seasonally adjusted 

data are revised. Data from January 2010 through December 2014 were replaced in January 2015. 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 

4 CPI Detailed Report-January 2015
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 64 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 five years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes 

before that period will not be changed. Note: 32 of the 82 components are not seasonally adjusted for 2014.

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. In 2014, for the 2009-2013 

revisions, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began using X-13ARIMA-SEATS to perform the seasonal adjustment of CPI series, including 

Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for certain series.

For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2015, BLS adjusted 33 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 the response in crude oil markets to the worldwide economic downturn in 2008. 

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.

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 Chris Graci at (202) 691-5826, or by e-mail at graci.christopher@bls.gov

8 CPI Detailed Report-January 2015
Response Rates for the Consumer

Price Indexes, 2014

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 2014.

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 2014 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 2014. Tables R-2

through R-17 show rates for current data collection in 

selected areas for which indexes are published 

monthly, bimonthly, or semiannually.

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 

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. 

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, 

write to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of 

Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Room 3615, 2 

Massachusetts Avenue, NE., Washington, DC 20212-

0001, or call Bradley Akin at (202) 691-7000, or email 

him at Akin.Bradley@bls.gov.

Therefore, nearly all eligible sample units have 

prices, collected or imputed, that are used in 

estimation.

and appear in Tables 34 and 39 of the January and July issues of the CPI

Detailed Report: Anchorage, AK; Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN;

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.

220 CPI Detailed Report-January 2015
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 6,100 housing units and approximately 24,000 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.

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

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.

222 CPI Detailed Report-January 2015
A Note on 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-13ARIMA-SEATS Seasonal Adjustment 

Method. Seasonally adjusted indexes and seasonal factors are computed annually. Each year, the last five years of seasonally adjusted 

data are revised. Data from January 2010 through December 2014 were replaced in January 2015. 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 64 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 five years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes 

before that period will not be changed. Note: 32 of the 82 components are not seasonally adjusted for 2014.

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. In 2014, for the 2009-2013 

revisions, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began using X-13ARIMA-SEATS to perform the seasonal adjustment of CPI series, including 

Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for certain series.

For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2015, BLS adjusted 33 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 the response in crude oil markets to the worldwide economic downturn in 2008. 

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.
