ii CPI Detailed Report-January 2011
CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS

JANUARY 2011 

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.4 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 increased 1.6 percent before seasonal 

adjustment. 

Increases in indexes for energy commodities and for food accounted for over two thirds of the all items increase. The indexes for 

gasoline and fuel oil both increased in January, continuing their recent strong upward trend. The index for food at home posted its 

largest increase in over two years with all six major grocery store food group indexes rising. 

The index for all items less food and energy also rose in January. The indexes for apparel, shelter, airline fares, and recreation all 

posted increases. In contrast, the indexes for new vehicles and for used cars and trucks declined in January. 

Over the last 12 months, the food index has risen 1.8 percent with the food at home index up 2.1 percent; both 12-month changes

are the highest since 2009. The energy index has increased 7.3 percent over the last 12 months, with the gasoline index up 13.4

percent. The index for all items less food and energy has risen 1.0 percent. 

 Consumer Price Index Data for January 2011 

Food

The food index rose 0.5 percent in January. The food at home index increased 0.7 percent, the largest increase since 2008. All six 

major grocery store food groups posted increases. The index for nonalcoholic beverages increased the most, rising 1.5 percent, with

the indexes for carbonated drinks and coffee both rising sharply. The fruits and vegetables index increased 1.3 percent with the index 

for fresh vegetables up 2.1 percent. The indexes for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs and for cereals and bakery products increased 0.9 

percent and 0.8 percent, respectively. The indexes for dairy and related products and for other food at home posted slight increases. 

Over the past 12 months, the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs has risen 6.2 percent with the other grocery store food group 

indexes posting smaller increases. The index for food away from home rose 0.2 percent in January and has risen 1.5 percent over the 

past 12 months. 

1 CPI Detailed Report-January 2011
Energy

The energy index continued its recent string of increases, rising 2.1 percent in January. The gasoline index rose 3.5 percent and 

has increased seven months in a row. (Before seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices rose 3.8 percent in January.) The index for 

household energy declined in January, falling 0.2 percent. A 6.8 percent increase in the index for fuel oil was more than offset by a 

1.2 percent decrease in the natural gas index and a 0.5 percent decline in the electricity index. The indexes for gasoline and fuel oil 

have risen significantly over the last 12 months, but the index for natural gas has declined 6.4 percent. 

All items less food and energy 

The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in January after increasing 0.1 percent in each of the previous two 

months. The shelter index rose 0.1 percent in January, with the rent index increasing 0.2 percent and the index for owners’ 

equivalent rent rising 0.1 percent. The apparel index, which increased 0.1 percent in December, rose 1.0 percent in January. The

index for airline fares increased for the fifth month in a row, rising 2.2 percent in January. The medical care index rose slightly, 

edging up 0.1 percent, with the medical care commodities index increasing 0.5 percent while the index for medical care services

declined 0.1 percent. The recreation index turned up in January, rising 0.2 percent after declining 0.2 percent in December, as did the 

index for household furnishings and operations, which increased 0.1 percent in January after declining in each of the four prior

months. In contrast to these increases, the index for new vehicles fell 0.1 percent in January and the index for used cars and trucks 

declined 0.3 percent. 

The index for all items less food and energy increased 1.0 percent over the last 12 months. The shelter index has gone up 0.6 

percent over that time period with the rent index up 1.0 percent. The index for airline fares has risen 9.8 percent and the indexes for 

medical care, for used cars and trucks, and for tobacco also increased. The apparel index is unchanged from a year ago, while the

indexes for household furnishings and operations and for recreation have 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 

220.223 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index increased 0.5 percent prior to seasonal adjustment. 

The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 1.8 percent over the last 12 months 

to an index level of 216.400 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index rose 0.5 percent prior to seasonal adjustment. 

The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 1.4 percent over the last 12 months. For the 

month, the index increased 0.5 percent on a not seasonally adjusted basis. Please note that the indexes for the post-2009 period are 

subject to revision.

The Consumer Price Index for February 2011 is scheduled to be released on Thursday, March 17, 2011, 

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

4 CPI Detailed Report-January 2011
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 2006 through December 2010 were replaced in January 2011. 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 2011. 

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 2011, BLS adjusted 29 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. 

 C-CPI-U Index Revisions 

As scheduled, effective with release of data for January 2011, 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 2009 will be issued in final 

form – employing monthly expenditure weights from 2009. Values for the 12 months of 2010 will be revised and issued as interim,

using expenditure weights from the 2007-2008 period. Calculation of the initial value of the January 2011 C-CPI-U index, and all

subsequent months in 2011, 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 . 

5 CPI Detailed Report-January 2011
Effective with this release of CPI data, the following series have been re-titled: 

Recreation services has become Other recreation services 

Gas (piped) and electricity has become Energy services 

Canned fish and seafood has become Shelf stable fish and seafood 

The Recreation services index did not include all services under the major group Recreation, specifically 

video and audio related services, pet services, and photography and film services are excluded. The new 

title, Other recreation services, reflects these exclusions. 

Gas (piped) and electricity has been presented as Energy services in Table A of the CPI News Release 

since August 2009. At that time, the format text of the News Release was updated to focus on Food, 

Energy, and All items less food and energy instead of the major groups (Food, Housing, Apparel, 

Transportation, Medical care, Education and communication, Recreation, and Other goods and services).

The title has been changed in the remainder of the publication tables in January 2011 to improve 

consistency.

The title for Canned fish and seafood has changed to Shelf stable fish and seafood to better reflect current 

packaging methods. 

6 CPI Detailed Report-January 2011
Response Rates for the Consumer 

Price Indexes, 2010 

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 2010 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 2010. 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 Andrew 

Mauro at (202) 691-7000, or email him at

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 2011
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 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. 

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.

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

222 CPI Detailed Report-January 2011
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 2006 through December 2010 were replaced in January 2011. 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 2011. 

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 2011, BLS adjusted 29 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
