Over the last 12 months, the all itéms index increased 8.2 percent béfore seasonal Increases in the shelter, food, and medical care indexes were the largest of many contributors to the monthly seasonally adjusted all items increase. These increases were partly offset by a 4.9-percent decline in the gasoline index, The food index continued to rise, increasing 6.8 percent over the month as the food at home index rose 0.7 percent. The energy index fell 2,1 percent over the month as the gasoline index deçlined, but the natural gas and electricity indexes increased. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.6 percent in September, as it did in August. The indexes for shelter, medical care, motor vehicle insurance, new vehicles, household furnishings and operations, and education were among those that incrieased over the month. There were some indèxes that declined in September, including those for used cars and trucks, apparel, ànd communication. The all itens index increased 8.2 percent for the 12 months ending September, a slightly smaller figure than the 8,3-percent increase for the period ending August. The all items less food and energy index rose 6.6 percent over the last 12 months. The energy index increased, 19,8 percent for the 12 months ending September, a smaller increase than the 23,8-percent increase for the period ending August. The food index increased 11,2 percent over the last year. Table A. Percent changes in CPI1 for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U): U.S. city average  adjustment.

Jahuary 2023 Consumer Price Index Weight Update  Starting with January 2023 data, BLS plans to update weights annually for the Consumer Price Index based on a single calendar year of data, using consumer expenditure data from 2021. This reflects a change from prior practice of updating weights biennially using two  years of expenditure data,    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 inrural nonmetropolitan areas, farming families, people in the Armed Forces, and thase ini 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 Indéx for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U). The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) is based an the expenditures of households included in the CPI-U definition that meet two requirements: more than one-half 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' sèrvices, 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 (departinent 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 lacations. Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest geographic areas and èvery. other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and sérvices are obtained by personal visit, telephone call, or web collection by the In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in cach location are aggrégated 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 crass-dlasifications 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 issuèd only at the national lèvel. The CPI-U and CPI-W are considered final when released, but thé C-CPI-U is issuèd in preliminary form and subject 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. 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 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.5. all items CPI, This means that if We repeatedly sample fram the universe of all retail prices using the same methodology, and estimate a percentage change for each sample, then 95 percent of these estinates will bé 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 sgw/galwparima-tiwwAwa.. Movements of the indexes from 1 month to another are usually exprèssed 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:  Bureau's trained representatives.  to three subsequent quarterly revisions.

For analyzing short-tern 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 allous 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 beforè adjustment for seasonal variation. BLS advises against the use of seasonally adjusted data in escalation agreements because seasonally adjusted series àre revised annually. The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses intervention analysis seasonal adjustment (IASA) for some CPI series, Sonetimes extreme values or sharp movements can distort the underlying seasonal pattern of price change. Interyention 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 accuratély represent 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 econonic downturn in 2008. Retaining this outlier data during. seasonal factor calculation would distort the computation of the seasonal partion of the time series data for motor fuel, so it W3s 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 2022, BLS adjusted 72 series using intervention analysis seasonal adjustment, including selected food and beverage itens, miotor fuels, electricity, Seasonally adjusted data, including the U.S. city average all items index levels, are subject to pevision 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 thear to the last 5 years of data. Seasonally adjusted indexes beyond thé last 5 years of data are consideréd to be final and not subject to revision. For January 2022, revised seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted indexes for 2017 to 2021 were calçulated and published. For seriés which are directly adjusted using the Census X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal adjustment software, the seasonal factors for 2021 will be applied to data for 2022 to produce the seasonally adjusted 2022 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, Each year the seasonal status of every series is réevaluated 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.
