ii CPI Detailed Report-January 2010
CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS 

JANUARY 2010 

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the January Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.2 percent, the U.S. 

Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the index increased 2.6 percent before seasonal adjustment. 

The seasonally adjusted increase in the all items index was due to a rise in the energy index. An increase in the gasoline index 

was the main factor, and the indexes for fuel oil and natural gas rose as well, though the electricity index declined. 

The index for all items less food and energy fell 0.1 percent in January. This decline was largely the result of decreases in the 

indexes for shelter, new vehicles, and airline fares. In contrast, the medical care index posted its largest increase since January 2008, 

and the index for used cars and trucks increased significantly for the sixth month in a row. 

 The food index increased in January, with the food at home component posting its largest increase since September 2008. Sharp 

increases in the indexes for dairy and related products and for fruits and vegetables accounted for most of the increase. 

 

Consumer Price Index Data for January 2010

Food 

The food index rose 0.2 percent in January. The food at home index increased 0.4 percent, with four of the six grocery store food 

groups posting increases. The index for dairy and related products rose 2.1 percent in January, but still has declined over the past 12 

months. The index for fruits and vegetables increased 1.3 percent due to a 2.8 percent increase in the index for fresh fruits. The index 

for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs rose 0.4 percent and the index for nonalcoholic beverages advanced 0.2 percent. The indexes for 

cereals and bakery products declined in January, falling 0.5 percent, and the index for other food at home declined 0.3 percent. The 

index for food away from home increased 0.1 percent in January. Over the last 12 months, the food index has declined 0.4 percent 

with the food at home index down 2.0 percent and the index for food away from home up 1.6 percent.

4 CPI Detailed Report-January 2010
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 2005 through December 2009 were replaced in January 2010. 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.

The seasonal movement of all items and 54 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 73 selected 

components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 73 

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 will be used before that 

period. Note: 46 of the 73 components are seasonally adjusted for 2010. 

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 2010, BLS adjusted 30 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. 

For additional information on seasonal adjustment in the CPI, please write to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of 

Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or contact David Levin at (202) 691-6968, or by e-mail at 

Levin.David@bls.gov. If you have general questions about the CPI, please call our information staff at (202) 691-7000. 

5 CPI Detailed Report-January 2010
Intervention Analysis in Seasonal Adjustment 

In some Consumer Price Index (CPI) series, a process known as seasonal adjustment is used to identify and factor out seasonal 

movements. The resulting seasonally adjusted data reflect an estimate of nonseasonal price movements. The CPI uses the Bureau of 

the Census X-12-ARIMA software to calculate factors for seasonal adjustment of both historical and current series. 

Seasonal adjustment for some CPI series use a technique called intervention analysis that is included in the Census X-12 seasonal 

adjustment program. Intervention analysis seasonal adjustment allows economic phenomena that are not seasonal in nature, such as 

outliers and level shifts, to be factored out of indexes before calculation of seasonal adjustment factors. (An outlier is an extreme 

value for a particular month. A level shift is a change or shift in the price level of a CPI series caused by an event, such as a sales tax 

increase or oil embargo, occurring over one or several months.) The result is an adjustment based on a representation of the series 

with the seasonal pattern emphasized. Intervention analysis seasonal adjustment also makes it possible to account for seasonal shifts, 

resulting in a better seasonal adjustment in the periods before and after the shift occurred. For those CPI series adjusted using 

intervention analysis seasonal adjustment techniques, the resulting seasonal factors more accurately represent the underlying seasonal 

pattern. Seasonal factors are applied to the original unadjusted series without intervention. As a result, level shifts and outliers, 

removed for the calculation of seasonal factors, are present in the seasonally adjusted series. 

When X-12-ARIMA is used to perform intervention analysis seasonal adjustment, unusual events are modeled as part of the 

seasonal adjustment process. X-12-ARIMA’s built-in regression variables are used for directly estimating the effects of sudden level 

changes and other disruptions and removing those effects before calculation of the seasonal factors. For a comprehensive discussion of 

X-12-ARIMA and intervention analysis seasonal adjustment, see "Improvements to CPI Procedures for Intervention Analysis 

Seasonal Adjustment" in the December 1996 issue of the CPI Detailed Report. 

A CPI series may receive intervention analysis seasonal adjustment (IASA) if the series is directly adjusted and has a relative 

importance greater than 0.5% to the U.S. city average all items index. If IASA is used for a component of the seasonally adjusted U.S. 

city average all items index, series which are subsets of the component series are also eligible for IASA. In January 2010, BLS 

adjusted the series listed below using intervention analysis seasonal adjustment techniques. BLS examined these series using the 8-

year span from January 2002 through December 2009.

13 CPI Detailed Report-January 2010
Item Structure and Publication Changes for January 2010 

Effective with the release of CPI data for January 2010 scheduled for Friday, February 19, the BLS will introduce several item 

structure and other publication changes into the CPI. 

Shelter. The expenditure weight for second homes will be moved from Lodging away from home to a new, unpriced stratum under the 

Owners’ equivalent rent expenditure class. As such, the expenditure class index for Owners’ equivalent rent will now include both 

primary and secondary homes, and the title of that expenditure class index will change from Owners’ equivalent rent of primary 

residences to Owners’ equivalent rent of residences. Both the expenditure class (Owners’ equivalent rent of residences), and the 

Owners’ equivalent rent of primary residence stratum within it, will be published. 

Current Structure 

Lodging away from home 

 Housing at school, excluding board 

 Other lodging away from home including hotels and motels 

Owners’ equivalent rent of primary residence 

 Owners’ equivalent rent of primary residence*

Indexes that are deemed continuous will have the same reference base previously used. New index series will have a December 2009 

= 100 reference base. Unpublished series are indicated with a *. 

Other publication changes

The index for State and local registration and license will be retitled State motor vehicle registration and license fees. 

A new index for Intracity mass transit will be published. Indexes for Land-line interstate toll calls and Land-line intrastate toll 

calls will be discontinued. 

15 CPI Detailed Report-January 2010
C-CPI-U Index Revisions 

As scheduled, effective with release of data for January 2010, the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CCPI-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 2008 will be issued in final 

form – employing monthly expenditure weights from 2008. Values for the 12 months of 2009 will be revised and issued as interim, 

using expenditure weights from the 2007-2008 period. Calculation of the initial value of the January 2010 C-CPI-U index, and all 

subsequent months in 2010, will also be based upon 2007-2008 expenditure weights. 

For more information on the C-CPI-U, contact Rob Cage by telephone at (202) 691-6959 or by electronic mail at 

Cage.Rob@bls.gov . 

Expenditure Weight Update 

Effective with the release of the January 2010 CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will update the consumption 

expenditure weights in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage 

Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) to the 2007-08 period. The updated expenditure weights for these indexes will replace the 

2005-2006 weights that were introduced effective with the January 2008 CPI release. As originally announced by BLS in December 

1998, CPI expenditure weights will continue to be updated at two-year intervals. 

16 CPI Detailed Report-January 2010
Response Rates for the Consumer 

Price Indexes, 2009 

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 2009. 

 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 response rate at 

estimation is defined as the number of sample units used in estimation divided by the number of eligible sample units. 

 Response rates for 2009 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 2009. Tables R-2 through R-17 show rates for current data collection in selected 

areas for which indexes are published monthly and bimonthly. 

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 Jonathan Church at (202) 691-7000, or 

email him at church.jonathan@bls.gov.

- Data not available.

NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each

local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore,

subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a

result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index,

although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor

Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI

for use in their escalator clauses. 

NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.

- Data not available.

NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each

local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore,

subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a

result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index,

although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor

Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI

for use in their escalator clauses. 

NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.

230 CPI Detailed Report-January 2010
Technical Notes 

Brief Explanation of the CPI 

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

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

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

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

(C-CPI-U), which cover approximately 87 percent of the total population and include, in addition to wage earner and clerical worker

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

and retirees and others not in the labor force. 

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

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

country from about 50,000 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 two annual revisions.

The index measures price change from a designated reference date. For the CPI-U and the CPI-W, the reference base is 1982–84

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

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

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

For further details, visit the CPI homepage on the Internet at https://www.bls.gov/cpi or contact our CPI Information and 

Analysis Section at (202) 691-7000. 

Calculating index changes

Movements of the indexes from one month to another usually are expressed as percent changes, rather than changes in index points,

because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period, whereas percent changes are not. The 

example shown in the box on this page illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. 

Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard 

formula for compound growth rates. These data indicate what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained for a 

12-month period.

The 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 West--Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and 

Wyoming. 

Energy prices 

Prices usually are available for the U.S. city average, 13 large metropolitan areas, the 4 census regions, 3 size classifications, and 10 

areas reflecting the 4 census regions cross-classified by the 3 population sizes. However, not all energy commodities and services are 

used in every area of the country. Fuel oil, for example, is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South 

and West. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA appears. This designation also appears if the data sufficiency

criteria have not been met in any given month. For example, if there are fewer than five usable fuel oil prices for a published city or 

region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area will be published. 

 All prices are collected monthly by BLS representatives in the urban areas priced for the CPI. Prices for natural gas and 

electricity include fuel and purchased gas adjustments and all applicable taxes. Fuel oil and gasoline prices include applicable

Federal, State, and local taxes. 

Natural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are reported in therms, which are a measure of heating value. Electricity prices are 

given in kilowatt hours (kwh). For both utility services, the consumption ranges specified in table P2 are the upper and lower limits 

of the bill sizes priced for the CPI. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are calculated from bills priced within these 

ranges. It should be noted that bills priced for the CPI not only are for different consumption amounts, but may also be calculated 

from different types of residential rate schedules. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally 

suitable for use in place-to-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas, and for 500 kilowatt 

hours of electricity (shown in table P1) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of 

the CPI. Because heating and air-conditioning requirements vary by geographic location, climate, and weather conditions, it cannot 

be inferred that these consumption amounts represent those used by a typical residential consumer. These bills are used merely 

to track price changes over time for constant amounts of consumption, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and 

electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised CPI.

Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. (See table P1.) Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than 1 

gallon. These prices are converted to a gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity or quick payment. 

Gasoline and automotive diesel fuel. Gasoline and diesel prices, shown in table P3, are collected at the pump from a sample of full 

service, miniservice, and self-service gas stations. Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as

follows, according to the source indicated: 

1 therm = 100,000 BTUs (U.S. Department of Energy) 

1 kwh = 3,412 BTUs (Edison Electric Institute) 

1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTUs (U.S. Department of Energy) 

Food and beverage prices 

Actual weighted average prices for food and beverages are calculated each month at the national level and for the four census 

geographic regions, as shown in table P4. As a result of changes in price collection methodology and sample sizes, 

average prices for individual cities cannot, in general, be produced. It is hoped, however, that regional average prices will help to 

satisfy the need for local area data. It should be noted that the average prices for food in this report reflect variations in brand, quality, 

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

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

232 CPI Detailed Report-January 2010
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 2005 through December 2009 were replaced in January 2010. 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.

The seasonal movement of all items and 54 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 73 selected 

components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 73 

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 will be used before that 

period. Note: 46 of the 73 components are seasonally adjusted for 2010. 

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 2010, BLS adjusted 30 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.
