CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS 

JANUARY 2013 

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged 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 increased 1.6 percent before seasonal 

adjustment. 

The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.3 percent in January. This increase offset another decline in the gasoline 

index and resulted in the seasonally adjusted all items index being unchanged, as it was last month. Increases in the indexes for shelter 

and apparel accounted for much of the increase in the index for all items less food and energy, with advances in the indexes for

recreation, medical care, and airline fares also contributing. 

The energy index fell 1.7 percent in January. Along with the gasoline index, the natural gas and fuel oil indexes also declined,

while the electricity index increased. The index for food was unchanged in January after increasing in each of the previous ten months. 

The food at home index was unchanged with major grocery store food group indexes mixed. 

The all items index increased 1.6 percent over the last 12 months; the 12-month change has been slowing since its recent peak of

2.2 percent in October. The index for all items less food and energy rose 1.9 percent over the last 12 months, the same figure as the 

last two months. The food index has risen 1.6 percent over the last 12 months while the energy index has declined 1.0 percent. 

Consumer Price Index Data for January 2013 

Food

The food index was unchanged in January after rising 0.2 percent in each of the last three months. The index for food at home 

was also unchanged after recent increases. Three major grocery store food group indexes increased in January. The index for dairy and 

related products rose 0.4 percent in January, its sixth increase in a row. The fruits and vegetables index rose 0.3 percent, and the index 

for cereals and bakery products increased 0.1 percent. In contrast to these increases, the index for nonalcoholic beverages declined 0.5 

percent in January, and the index for other food at home fell 0.2 percent. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs was unchanged. 

Over the last 12 months, the food at home index has risen 1.1 percent. The fruits and vegetables index posted the largest increase over

that span, rising 2.9 percent, while the indexes for nonalcoholic beverages and dairy and related products both declined. The index for 

food away from home rose 0.1 percent in January and has increased 2.3 percent over the last 12 months. 

Energy

The energy index declined 1.7 percent in January, its third consecutive decline. The gasoline index fell for the fourth straight

month, declining 3.0 percent. (Before seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices increased 0.3 percent in January.) The index for fuel oil fell 

0.2 percent in January. The index for natural gas, which rose in November and December, declined 1.7 percent. In contrast to these 

declines, the electricity index rose 1.1 percent in January. Over the last 12 months, the energy index has declined 1.0 percent, with the 

gasoline index falling 1.5 percent and the index for natural gas decreasing 2.5 percent. These declines more than offset the fuel oil and 

electricity indexes, which rose 2.0 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively. 

All items less food and energy 

The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.3 percent in January after rising 0.1 percent in November and December.

The shelter index rose 0.2 percent in January. The indexes for rent and owners’ equivalent rent also increased 0.2 percent, while the 

index for lodging away from home rose 1.2 percent. The apparel index increased 0.8 percent, and the index for airline fares rose for 

the fifth month in a row, advancing 1.1 percent. The recreation index increased 0.3 percent and the index for medical care rose 0.1 

percent. The index for used cars and trucks rose 0.2 percent, ending a string of six consecutive declines, while the new vehicles index 

advanced 0.1 percent. The tobacco index rose 0.5 percent, the same increase as in December, and the index for personal care increased 

0.1 percent. In contrast, the index for household furnishings and operations was one of the few indexes to decline in January, falling 

0.1 percent. 

The index for all items less food and energy increased 1.9 percent for the 12 months ending January. Airline fare (3.8 percent),

medical care (3.1 percent), shelter (2.2 percent), and apparel (2.1 percent) were among the indexes that rose more quickly. New

vehicles (1.7 percent) and recreation (0.6 percent) rose more slowly, while used cars and trucks (-1.3 percent) and household 

furnishings and operations (-0.2 percent) declined. 

Not seasonally adjusted CPI measures 

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 1.6 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 

230.280 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index increased 0.3 percent prior to seasonal adjustment. 

The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 1.5 percent over the last 12 months 

to an index level of 226.520 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index increased 0.3 percent prior to seasonal adjustment. 

The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 1.5 percent over the last 12 months. For the 

month, the index increased 0.3 percent on a not seasonally adjusted basis. Please note that the indexes for the post-2011 period are 

subject to revision. 

The Consumer Price Index for February 2013 is scheduled to be released on Friday, March 15, 2013, at 8:30 a.m. (EDT).

3 CPI Detailed Report-January 2013
C-CPI-U Index Revisions 

As scheduled, effective with this release of data for January 2013, the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers 

(C-CPI-U) has undergone its annual revision. Because the current expenditure data required for the calculation of the C-CPI-U are

available only with a time lag, the index is issued first in preliminary form, using the latest available expenditure data at the time of 

publication, and is subject to two subsequent revisions. Therefore, C-CPI-U indexes for the 12 months of 2011 are issued in final form 

– employing monthly expenditure weights from 2011. Values for the 12 months of 2012 are revised and issued as interim, using 

expenditure weights from the 2009-2010 period. Calculation of the initial value of the January 2013 C-CPI-U index, and all 

subsequent months in 2013, will also be based upon 2009-2010 expenditure weights. 

Discontinuation of Department Store Inventory Indexes 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics will discontinue publication of its Department Store Inventory indexes after the release of the 

December 2013 CPI in mid-January 2014, and these values will no longer be uploaded to the Labstat database. For further information 

please contact Sharon Gibson at 202-691-6968 or gibson.sharon@bls.gov. 

Publication Changes for Average Price Series 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics will discontinue publication of three average price series after the release of the June 2013 CPI in 

mid-July 2013. They are:

- utility (piped) gas, 40 therms; 

- utility (piped) gas, 100 therms; and 

- electricity, 500 kilowatt hours. 

The Bureau will, however, continue to publish average prices for utility (piped) gas on a per therm basis, and will continue to

publish electricity prices on a per kilowatt hour basis. As such, users will be able to convert these data to any consumption amount. 

CPI Detailed Report table P1. Average residential prices for utility (piped) gas, electricity, and fuel oil, U.S. city average and selected 

areas will no longer be published. Data for fuel oil #2, per gallon (3.785 liters) will continue to be available in the CPI Average Price 

Data public database.

4 CPI Detailed Report-January 2013
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-12-ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment 

Method. Seasonally adjusted indexes and seasonal factors are computed annually. Each year, the last 5 years of seasonally adjusted 

data are revised. Data from January 2008 through December 2012 were replaced in January 2013. Exceptions to the usual revision 

schedule were: the updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977; and, in January 2002, dependently 

seasonally adjusted series were revised for January 1987-December 2001 as a result of a change in the aggregation weights for 

dependently adjusted series. For further information, please see “Aggregation of Dependently Adjusted Seasonally Adjusted Series,” 

in the October 2001 issue of the CPI Detailed Report.

Effective with the publication of data from January 2006 through December 2010 in January 2011, the Video and audio series 

and the Information technology, hardware and services series were changed from independently adjusted to dependently adjusted. 

This resulted in an increase in the number of seasonal components used in deriving seasonal movement of the All items and 54 other

lower level aggregations, from 73 for the publication of January 1998 through December 2005 data to 82 for the publication of 

seasonally adjusted data for January 2006 and later. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain 

statistical criteria. If any of the 82 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally 

adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last 5 years, but the seasonally 

adjusted indexes before that period will not be changed. Note: 37 of the 82 components are not seasonally adjusted for 2013. 

Seasonally adjusted data, including the all items index levels, are subject to revision for up to five years after their original 

release. For this reason, BLS advises against the use of these data in escalation agreements. 

Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for 1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has used an enhanced seasonal 

adjustment procedure called Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Intervention Analysis Seasonal 

Adjustment allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the 

seasonal pattern are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. Beginning with the calculation of 

seasonal factors for 1996, X-12-ARIMA software was used for Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment. 

For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2013, BLS adjusted 31 series using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment, 

including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels, electricity and vehicles. For example, this procedure was used for the Motor 

fuel series to offset the effects of events such as damage to oil refineries from Hurricane Katrina. 

For a complete list of Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment series and explanations, please refer to the article “Intervention

Analysis Seasonal Adjustment”, located on our website at http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.htm.

Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or contact Chris Graci at (202) 691-5826, or by e-mail at

6 CPI Detailed Report-January 2013
Response Rates for the Consumer 

Price Indexes, 2012 

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 2012. 

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 2012 are presented in tables R1 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 2012. Tables R-2 through R17 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. 

Therefore, nearly all eligible sample units have 

prices, collected or imputed, that are used 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, 

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 Darren Rippy at (202) 691-7000, or

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 2013
Technical Notes 

Brief Explanation of the CPI 

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time of goods and services purchased by 

households. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes CPIs for two population groups: (1) The CPI for Urban Wage 

Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), which covers households of wage earners and clerical workers that comprise approximately 

28 percent of the total population and (2) the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the Chained CPI for All Urban Consumers 

(C-CPI-U), which covers approximately 88 percent of the total population and include, in addition to wage earner and clerical worker

households, groups such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the self-employed, short-term workers, the unemployed,

and retirees and others not in the labor force. 

 The CPIs are based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors’ and dentists’ 

services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected each month in 87 urban areas 

across the country from about 4,000 housing units and approximately 26,000 retail establishments—department stores, supermarkets,

hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use 

of items are included in the index. Prices of fuels and a few other items are obtained every month in all 87 locations. Prices of most 

other commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas.

Prices of most goods and services are obtained through personal visits or telephone calls by BLS trained representatives. 

In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights that represent

their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. For 

the CPI-U and CPI-W, separate indexes also are published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross-classifications of regions 

and population-size classes, and for 27 local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities; they 

measure only the average change in prices for each area since the base period. For the C-CPI-U, data are issued only at the national 

level. It is important to note that the CPI-U and CPI-W are considered final when released, but the C-CPI-U is issued in preliminary 

form and is subject to two annual revisions. 

The index measures price change from a designated reference date. For the CPI-U and the CPI-W, the reference base is 1982–

84 = 100.0. The reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999=100.0. An increase of 16.5 percent from the reference base, for

example, is shown as 116.5. This change also can be expressed in dollars as follows: the price of a base-period market basket of

goods and services in the CPI has risen from $10 in 1982–84 to $11.65.

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.

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 

222 CPI Detailed Report-January 2013
satisfy the need for local area data. It should be noted that the average prices for food in this report reflect variations in brand, quality, 

and size among geographic areas. Users of average food prices should be aware that these differences exist. 

Because a number of food commodities are not available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices will not appear in some 

months for some regions or for the U.S. city average. In other instances, sufficient prices may not be available due to temporary

disruptions in supplies. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA appears. When a price is not available from an 

individual store in any month, an estimated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. For 

cases in which the proportion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price is not

published, and NA appears for that item in the table. 

 Because of space limitations in the table, the description for each item is abbreviated. Detailed specifications are available from 

BLS information offices or from the Washington office, upon request. 

Seasonally adjusted and unadjusted data 

Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally 

adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each month. 

For analyzing general price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the 

effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year--such as price movements 

resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. 

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

used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie 

compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index before adjustment for seasonal variation. 

Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-12-ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment 

Method. Seasonally adjusted indexes and seasonal factors are computed annually. Each year, the last 5 years of seasonally adjusted 

data are revised. Data from January 2008 through December 2012 were replaced in January 2013. Exceptions to the usual revision 

schedule were: the updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977; and, in January 2002, dependently 

seasonally adjusted series were revised for January 1987-December 2001 as a result of a change in the aggregation weights for 

dependently adjusted series. For further information, please see “Aggregation of Dependently Adjusted Seasonally Adjusted Series,”

in the October 2001 issue of the CPI Detailed Report. 

Effective with the publication of data from January 2006 through December 2010 in January 2011, the Video and audio series 

and the Information technology, hardware and services series were changed from independently adjusted to dependently adjusted. 

This resulted in an increase in the number of seasonal components used in deriving seasonal movement of the All items and 54 other

lower level aggregations, from 73 for the publication of January 1998 through December 2005 data to 82 for the publication of 

seasonally adjusted data for January 2006 and later. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain

statistical criteria. If any of the 82 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally 

adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last 5 years, but the seasonally 

adjusted indexes before that period will not be changed. Note: 37 of the 82 components are not seasonally adjusted for 2013. 

Seasonally adjusted data, including the all items index levels, are subject to revision for up to five years after their original

release. For this reason, BLS advises against the use of these data in escalation agreements. 

Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for 1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has used an enhanced seasonal 

adjustment procedure called Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Intervention Analysis Seasonal 

Adjustment allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the

seasonal pattern are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. Beginning with the calculation of 

seasonal factors for 1996, X-12-ARIMA software was used for Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment. 

For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2013, BLS adjusted 31 series using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment, 

including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels, electricity and vehicles. For example, this procedure was used for the Motor 

fuel series to offset the effects of events such as damage to oil refineries from Hurricane Katrina. 

For a complete list of Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment series and explanations, please refer to the article 

“Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment”, located on our website at https://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.htm.
