CONSUMER PRICE INDEX – JUNE 2021 

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.9 percent in June on a 

seasonally adjusted basis after rising 0.6 percent in May, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 

today. This was the largest 1-month change since June 2008 when the index rose 1.0 percent. Over the 

last 12 months, the all items index increased 5.4 percent before seasonal adjustment; this was the largest

12-month increase since a 5.4-percent increase for the period ending August 2008.

The index for used cars and trucks continued to rise sharply, increasing 10.5 percent in June. This

increase accounted for more than one-third of the seasonally adjusted all items increase. The food index 

increased 0.8 percent in June, a larger increase than the 0.4-percent increase reported for May. The 

energy index increased 1.5 percent in June, with the gasoline index rising 2.5 percent over the month. 

The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.9 percent in June after increasing 0.7 percent in May. 

Many of the same indexes continued to increase, including used cars and trucks, new vehicles, airline 

fares, and apparel. The index for medical care and the index for household furnishings and operations 

were among the few major component indexes which decreased in June.

The all items index rose 5.4 percent for the 12 months ending June; it has been trending up every month 

since January, when the 12-month change was 1.4 percent. The index for all items less food and energy 

rose 4.5 percent over the last 12-months, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending 

November 1991. The energy index rose 24.5 percent over the last 12-months, and the food index 

increased 2.4 percent.

Food 

The food index increased 0.8 percent in June, as did the food at home index; both indexes rose 0.4 

percent in May. As in May, the food at home increase was mostly due to the index for meats, poultry, 

fish, and eggs, which increased 2.5 percent over the month. The beef index rose 4.5 percent in June, its 

largest 1-month increase since June 2020. The index for fruits and vegetables rose 0.7 percent in June 

after being unchanged in the preceding month. The nonalcoholic beverages index increased 0.9 percent 

in June after declining 0.5 percent in May. The index for other food at home rose 0.2 percent in June, as 

did the index for dairy and related products.

In contrast to these increases, the index for cereals and bakery products was the only one of the six 

major grocery store category indexes to decline in June, falling 0.3 percent over the month after 

increasing 0.5 percent in May. 

The food away from home index rose 0.7 percent in June following a 0.6-percent increase in May. The 

index for full service meals rose 0.8 percent, its largest monthly increase since last June. The index for 

limited service meals increased 0.6 percent in June. 

The food at home index increased 0.9 percent over the past 12 months. All six major grocery store food 

group indexes increased, but the index for fruits and vegetables was the only one to rise more than 0.8 

percent; increasing 3.2 percent. 

The index for food away from home rose 4.2 percent over the last year, the largest 12-month increase in 

that index since the period ending in May 2009. The index for limited service meals rose 6.2 percent

since June 2020 and the index for full service meals rose 4.1 percent over the last 12 months. The index 

for food at employee sites and schools declined sharply over the last year, falling 29.9 percent. 

Energy

The energy index increased 1.5 percent in June after being unchanged in May. The gasoline index rose

2.5 percent in June after falling 0.7 percent in May. (Before seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices rose 

2.2 percent in June.) The index for natural gas increased 1.7 percent in June, as it did in May. The 

electricity index, in contrast, fell 0.3 percent following a 0.3-percent increase the prior month. 

The energy index rose 24.5 percent over the past 12 months. The gasoline index rose 45.1 percent since 

June 2020. The index for electricity increased 3.8 percent over the last year, while the index for natural 

gas rose 15.6 percent. 

All items less food and energy

The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.9 percent in June following a 0.7-percent increase in 

May. The index for used cars and trucks rose sharply for the third consecutive month, increasing 10.5 

percent in June. This was the largest monthly increase ever reported for the used cars and trucks index, 

which was first published in January 1953. The shelter index rose 0.5 percent in June. The index for rent 

rose 0.2 percent and the index for owners’ equivalent rent increased 0.3 percent, the same increases as in 

May. The lodging away from home index increased 7.0 percent in June. 

The index for new vehicles rose 2.0 percent in June, that index’s largest 1-month increase since May 

1981. The motor vehicle insurance index increased 1.2 percent over the month. The index for airline 
- 4 -

fares rose 2.7 percent in June after increasing 7.0 percent the previous month. The index for apparel 

increased 0.7 percent in June following a 1.2-percent rise in May. The recreation index and the 

education index each rose 0.2 percent over the month.

The index for household furnishing and operations fell 0.1 percent in June after rising 1.3 percent in 

May. The index for communication was unchanged for the month.

The medical care index declined 0.1 percent in June, as it did in May. Medical care component indexes 

were mixed. The index for prescription drugs declined 0.2 percent in June after falling 0.3 percent in 

May. The hospital services index increased 0.2 percent, while the physicians’ services index rose 0.3 

percent in June. 

The index for all items less food and energy rose 4.5 percent over the past 12 months. The index for 

used cars and trucks increased 45.2 percent, the largest 12-month change ever reported for that index.

The index for new vehicles rose 5.3 percent over the past 12 months, its largest 12-month increase since 

the period ending January 1987. The motor vehicle insurance index increased 11.3 percent in the last 

year, while the index for car and truck rental rose 87.7 percent over that period. The shelter index 

increased 2.6 percent over the last 12 months. The medical care index rose 0.4 percent over the past 12 

months, its smallest 12-month increase since the period ending March 1941.

Not seasonally adjusted CPI measures

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 5.4 percent over the last 12 

months to an index level of 271.696 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index increased 0.9 percent prior 

to seasonal adjustment. 

The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 6.1

percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 266.412 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index 

rose 1.1 percent prior to seasonal adjustment. 

The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 5.3 percent over the 

last 12 months. For the month, the index increased 0.9 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 July 2021 is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, August 11, 

2021 at 8:30 a.m. (ET).

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic Impact on June 2021 Consumer Price Index Data

Data collection by personal visit for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) program has been suspended 

since March 16, 2020. When possible, data normally collected by personal visit were collected 

either online or by phone. Additionally, data collection in June was affected by the temporary 

closing or limited operations of certain types of establishments. These factors resulted in an 

increase in the number of prices considered temporarily unavailable and imputed.

While the CPI program attempted to collect as much data as possible, many indexes are based on 

smaller amounts of collected prices than usual, and a small number of indexes that are normally 

published were not published this month. Additional information is available at

www.bls.gov/covid19/effects-of-covid-19-pandemic-on-consumer-price-index.htm.

Technical Note

Brief Explanation of the CPI

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in prices paid by consumers for goods and 

services. The CPI reflects spending patterns for each of two population groups: all urban consumers and 

urban wage earners and clerical workers. The all urban consumer group represents about 93 percent of 

the total U.S. population. It is based on the expenditures of almost all residents of urban or metropolitan 

areas, including professionals, the self-employed, the poor, the unemployed, and retired people, as well 

as urban wage earners and clerical workers. Not included in the CPI are the spending patterns of people 

living in rural nonmetropolitan areas, farming families, people in the Armed Forces, and those in 

institutions, such as prisons and mental hospitals. Consumer inflation for all urban consumers is 

measured by two indexes, namely, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the 

Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U). 

The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) is based on the 

expenditures of households included in the CPI-U definition that meet two requirements: more than onehalf of the household's income must come from clerical or wage occupations, and at least one of the 

household's earners must have been employed for at least 37 weeks during the previous 12 months. The 

CPI-W population represents about 29 percent of the total U.S. population and is a subset of the CPI-U 

population.

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

services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected 

each month in 75 urban areas across the country from about 6,000 housing units and approximately 

22,000 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 75 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 by personal 

visits or telephone calls by the Bureau’s trained representatives.

In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are aggregated using 

weights, which 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 are 

also published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross-classifications of regions and 

population-size classes, and for 23 selected local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the 

level of prices among cities; they only measure 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. The CPI-U and CPI-W are 

considered final when released, but the C-CPI-U is issued in preliminary form and subject to three 

subsequent quarterly revisions. 

The index measures price change from a designed reference date. For most of the CPI-U and the CPI-W, 

the reference base is 1982-84 equals 100. The reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999 equals 

100. An increase of 7 percent from the reference base, for example, is shown as 107.000. Alternatively, 

that relationship can also be expressed as the price of a base period market basket of goods and services 

rising from $100 to $107. 

Sampling Error in the CPI

The CPI is a statistical estimate that is subject to sampling error because it is based upon a sample of 

retail prices and not the complete universe of all prices. BLS calculates and publishes estimates of the 1-

month, 2-month, 6-month, and 12-month percent change standard errors annually for the CPI-U. These 
- 6 -

standard error estimates can be used to construct confidence intervals for hypothesis testing. For 

example, the estimated standard error of the 1-month percent change is 0.03 percent for the U.S. all 

items CPI. This means that if we repeatedly sample from the universe of all retail prices using the same 

methodology, and estimate a percentage change for each sample, then 95 percent of these estimates will 

be within 0.06 percent of the 1-month percentage change based on all retail prices. For example, for a 1-

month change of 0.2 percent in the all items CPI-U, we are 95 percent confident that the actual percent 

change based on all retail prices would fall between 0.14 and 0.26 percent. For the latest data, including 

information on how to use the estimates of standard error, see https://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/varianceestimates/home.htm.

Calculating Index Changes

Movements of the indexes from 1 month to another are usually 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, while percent changes are not. The following table shows an example of using index 

values to calculate percent changes:

Item A Item B Item C

Year I 112.500 225.000 110.000

Year II 121.500 243.000 128.000

Change in index 

points 9.000 18.000 18.000

Percent change 9.0/112.500 x 100 = 8.0 18.0/225.000 x 100 = 8.0 18.0/110.000 x 100 = 16.4

Use of Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data

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

adjusted data are computed using seasonal factors derived by the X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal 

adjustment method. These factors are updated each February, and the new factors are used to revise the 

previous 5 years of seasonally adjusted data. The factors are available at 

www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/seasonal-adjustment/seasonal-factors-2021.xlsx. For more information on data 

revision scheduling, please see the Factsheet on Seasonal Adjustment at www.bls.gov/cpi/seasonaladjustment/questions-and-answers.htm and the Timeline of Seasonal Adjustment Methodological 

Changes at www.bls.gov/cpi/seasonal-adjustment/timeline-seasonal-adjustment-methodologychanges.htm. 

For analyzing short-term price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred 

since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same 

magnitude every year—such as price movements resulting from weather events, production cycles, 

model changeovers, holidays, and sales. This allows data users to focus on changes that are not typical 

for the time of year. The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices 

they actually pay. Unadjusted data are also used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective 

bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the 

Consumer Price Index before adjustment for seasonal variation. BLS advises against the use of 

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

annually.

Intervention Analysis

The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses intervention analysis seasonal adjustment for some CPI series. 

Sometimes extreme values or sharp movements can distort the underlying seasonal pattern of price 

change. Intervention analysis seasonal adjustment is a process by which the distortions caused by such 

unusual events are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. The 

resulting seasonal factors, which more accurately represent the seasonal pattern, are then applied to the 

unadjusted data. 

For example, this procedure was used for the motor fuel series to offset the effects of the 2009 return to 

normal pricing after the worldwide economic downturn in 2008. Retaining this outlier data during 

seasonal factor calculation would distort the computation of the seasonal portion of the time series data 

for motor fuel, so it was estimated and removed from the data prior to seasonal adjustment. Following 

that, seasonal factors were calculated based on this “prior adjusted” data. These seasonal factors 

represent a clearer picture of the seasonal pattern in the data. The last step is for motor fuel seasonal 

factors to be applied to the unadjusted data.

For the seasonal factors introduced for January 2021, BLS adjusted 72 series using intervention analysis 

seasonal adjustment, including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels, electricity, and vehicles. 

Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Indexes

Seasonally adjusted data, including the U.S. city average all items index levels, are subject to revision 

for up to 5 years after their original release. Every year, economists in the CPI calculate new seasonal 

factors for seasonally adjusted series and apply them to the last 5 years of data. Seasonally adjusted 

indexes beyond the last 5 years of data are considered to be final and not subject to revision. For January 

2021, revised seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted indexes for 2016 to 2020 were calculated and 

published. For series which are directly adjusted using the Census X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal 

adjustment software, the seasonal factors for 2020 will be applied to data for 2021 to produce the 

seasonally adjusted 2021 indexes. Series which are indirectly seasonally adjusted by summing 

seasonally adjusted component series have seasonal factors which are derived and are therefore not 

available in advance.

Determining Seasonal Status

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

these criteria, BLS economists determine whether a series should change its status from "not seasonally 

adjusted" to "seasonally adjusted", or vice versa. If any of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all 

items index change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, 

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

but the seasonally adjusted indexes before that period will not be changed. Thirty-four of the 81 

components of the U.S. city average all items index are not seasonally adjusted for 2021.

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.

1 The C-CPI-U is designed to be a closer approximation to a cost-of-living index in that it, in its final form, accounts for any substitution that

consumers make across item categories in response to changes in relative prices. Since the expenditure data required for the calculation of the

C-CPI-U are available only with a time lag, the C-CPI-U is issued first in preliminary form using the latest available expenditure data at that time and

is subject to four revisions.

Indexes are issued as initial estimates. Indexes are revised each quarter with the publication of January, April, July, and October data as updated

expenditure estimates become available. The C-CPI-U indexes are updated quarterly until they become final. January-March indexes are final in

January of the following year; April-June indexes are final in April of the following year; July-September indexes are final in July of the following year;

October-December indexes are final in October of the following year.

1 The ’effect’ of an item category is a measure of that item’s contribution to the All items price change. For example, if the Food index had an effect of

0.40, and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40 / 1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase.

Said another way, had food prices been unchanged for that month the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8

percent. Effects can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items

index actually would have been 0.1 percent higher (or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were

rising, the contribution of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 / 0.5, or minus 20 percent).

2 A statistic’s margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 0.6

percent, and its standard error was 0.15 percent, the margin of error on this item’s 1-month percent change would be 0.6 percent, plus or minus 0.3

percent.

3

If the current seasonally adjusted 1-month percent change is greater than the previous published 1-month percent change, then this column

identifies the closest prior month with a 1-month percent change as (L)arge as or (L)arger than the current 1-month change. If the current 1-month

percent change is smaller than the previous published 1-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or (S)maller than

the current month change is identified. If the current and previous published 1-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard

numerical comparisons are used. For example, 0.8% is greater than 0.6%, -0.4% is less than -0.2%, and -0.2% is less than 0.0%. Note that a

(L)arger change can be a smaller decline, for example, a -0.2% change is larger than a -0.4% change, but still represents a decline in the price

index. Likewise, (S)maller changes can be increases, for example, a 0.6% change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price

index. In this context, a -0.2% change is considered to be smaller than a 0.0% change.

1 The ’effect’ of an item category is a measure of that item’s contribution to the All items price change. For example, if the Food index had an effect of

0.40, and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40 / 1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase.

Said another way, had food prices been unchanged for that year the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8

percent. Effects can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items

index actually would have been 0.1 percent higher (or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were

rising, the contribution of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 / 0.5, or minus 20 percent).

2 A statistic’s margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 2.6

percent, and its standard error was 0.25 percent, the margin of error on this item’s 12-month percent change would be 2.6 percent, plus or minus

0.5 percent.

3

If the current 12-month percent change is greater than the previous published 12-month percent change, then this column identifies the closest prior

month with a 12-month percent change as (L)arge as or (L)arger than the current 12-month change. If the current 12-month percent change is

smaller than the previous published 12-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or (S)maller than the current month

change is identified. If the current and previous published 12-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard numerical comparison

is used. For example, 2.0% is greater than 0.6%, -4.4% is less than -2.0%, and -2.0% is less than 0.0%. Note that a (L)arger change can be a

smaller decline, for example, a -0.2% change is larger than a -0.4% change, but still represents a decline in the price index. Likewise, (S)maller

changes can be increases, for example, a 0.6% change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price index. In this context, a

-0.2% change is considered to be smaller than a 0.0% change.
