Section 14Prices

The Prices section contains producer and consumer prices indexes and actual prices for selected commodities. The primary sources of the data are monthly publica-tions of the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which include Monthly Labor Review, Consumer Price Index, Detailed Report, Producer Price Indexes, and U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes. The Bureau of Economic Analysis is the source for gross domestic product measures. Cost of living data for many urban and metropolitan areas are provided by The Council for Com-munity and Economic Research, a private organization in Arlington, VA. Table 728 on housing price indexes appears in this edition from the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, Housing Price Index. Other commodity, housing, and energy prices may be found in the Energy and Utilities; Forestry, Fishing and Mining; and Construction and Housing sections.

Most price data is measured by an index. An index is a tool that simplifies the measurement of movements in a numeri-cal series. An index allows you to properly compare two or more values in differ-ent time periods or places by comparing both to a base year. An index of 110, for example, means there has been a 10-per-cent increase in price since the reference period; similarly, an index of 90 means a 10-percent decrease. Movements of the index from one date to another can be expressed as changes in index points (sim-ply, the difference between index levels), but it is more useful to express the move-ments as percent changes. This is because index points are affected by the level of the index in relation to its reference period, while percent changes are not.

Consumer price indexes (CPI)—The CPI is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a ‘‘market basket’’ of goods and services purchased either by urban wage earners and clerical workers or by all urban consumers. The all urban consumer group represents 87 percent of the total U.S. population and is based

on the expenditures residents of urban or metropolitan areas, including profes-sionals, 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 nonmetro-politan areas, farm families, people in the Armed Forces, and those in institutions, such as prisons and mental hospitals. Con-sumer inflation for all urban consumers is measured by two indexes, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U). The broadest and most comprehensive CPI is called the All Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the U.S. City Average. All CPI’s in this section have a base of 1982–84 = 100.

The CPI is a product of a series of inter-related samples. Data from the 1990 Census of Population determines the urban areas from which data on prices are collected and the housing units within each area that are eligible for use in the shelter component of the CPI. The Census of Population also provides data on the number of consumers represented by each area selected as a CPI price collection area. A sample (of about 14,500 families each year) serves as the basis for a Point-of-Purchase Survey that identified the places where households purchased various types of goods and services. The CPI market basket is developed from detailed expenditure information provided by fami-lies and individuals on what they actually bought. In calculating the index, each item is assigned a weight to account for its rel-ative importance in consumers’ budgets. Price changes for the various items in each location are then averaged and local data are combined to obtain a U.S. city average. For the current CPI, this information was collected from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys for 2007 and 2008. In each of those years, about 7,000 families from around the country provided information each quarter on their spending habits

in the interview survey. To collect infor-mation on frequently purchased items, such as food and personal care products, another 7,000 families in each of these years kept diaries listing everything they bought during a 2-week period. Over the 2 year period, then, expenditure information came from approximately 28,000 weekly diaries and 60,000 quarterly interviews used to determine the importance, or weight, of the more than 200 item catego-ries in the CPI index structure.

The CPI represents all goods and ser-vices purchased for consumption by the reference population. BLS has classified all expenditure items into more than 200 categories, arranged into eight major groups which are food and beverages, housing, apparel, transportation, medical care, recreation, education and communi-cation, and other goods. The CPI does not include investment items, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and life insurance. (These items relate to savings and not to day-to-day consumption expenses.)

Producer price index (PPI)— Dating from 1890, the PPI is the oldest con-tinuous statistical series published by BLS. The PPI is a family of indexes that measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers of goods and services. Imports are excluded. The target set of goods and services included in the PPI is the entire marketed output of U.S. producers. The set includes both goods and services purchased by other producers as inputs to their operations or as capital investment, as well as goods and services purchased by consumers either directly from the ser-vice producer or indirectly from a retailer. Over 10,000 PPIs for individual products and groups of products are released each month.

Prices used in constructing the index are collected from sellers and generally apply to the first significant large-volume com-mercial transaction for each commodity. The weights used in the index represent the total net selling value of commodities produced or processed in this country. Most producer price indexes have a refer-ence base year of 1982 = 100. The refer-ence year of the PPI shipment weights has been taken primarily from the 2002

Census of Manufactures. For further detail regarding the PPI, see the BLS Handbook of Methods, Bulletin 2490 (June 2008), Chapter 14. The PPI Web page is <http://www.bls .gov/ppi/>.

BEA price indexes—BEA chain-weighted price indexes are weighted averages of the detailed price indexes used in the deflation of the goods and services that make up the gross domestic product (GDP) and its major components. Growth rates are constructed for years and quar-ters using quantity weights for the current and preceding year or quarter; these growth rates are used to move the index for the preceding period forward a year or quarter at a time. All chain-weighted price indexes are expressed in terms of the reference year value 2005 = 100.

Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price and quantity indexes are based on market transactions for which there are corresponding price measures. The price index provides a measure of the prices paid by persons for domestic purchases of goods and services. PCEs are defined as market value of spending by individuals and not-for-profit institutions on all goods and services. Personal consumption expenditures also include the value of cer-tain imputed goods and services—such as the rental value of owner-occupied homes and compensation paid in kind—such as employer-paid health and life insurance premiums. More information on this index may be found at <http://www.bea.gov /bea/mp _National.htm>.

Measures of inflation—Inflation is a period of rising price levels for goods and factors of production. Inflation results in a decline in the purchasing power of the dollar. It is suggested that changes in price levels be compared from the same month of the prior year and not as a change from the prior month. The BLS offers several indexes that measure differ-ent aspects of inflation, three of which are included in this section. The CPI measures inflation as experienced by consumers in their day-to-day living expenses. The PPI measures prices at the producer level only. The International Price Program mea-sures change in the prices of imports and exports of nonmilitary goods between the United States and other countries.

Table 726. Annual Percent Changes From Prior Year in Consumer Price Indexes (CPI-U)—Selected Areas: 2010[Percent changes computed from annual averages of monthly figures published by source. Local area CPI indexes are by-products 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. Area definitions are those established by the Office of Management and Budget in 1983. For further detail, see the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Handbook of Methods, Bulletin 2285, Chapter 19, the Consumer Price Index, and Report 751, the CPI: 1987 Revision.

Table 728. Cost of Living Index—Selected Urban Areas, Annual Average: 2010[Data are for a selected urban area within the larger metropolitan area shown. Measures relative price levels for consumer goods and services in participating areas for a mid-management standard of living. The nationwide average equals 100 and each index is read as a percent of the national average. The index does not measure inflation, but compares prices at a single point in time. Excludes taxes. Metropolitan areas as defined by the Office of Management and Budget. For definitions, urban areas, and components of MSAs, see source. Beginning February 2008, data are based on an annual average survey compiled from data submitted in the first 3 quarters of the year. To calculate the annual average index, actual and estimated prices are collected to calculate an annual average price for each item used to represent the various spending categories. The share of consumer spending devoted to the category determines that category’s importance, or weight, in the Index. Weights are based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2009 Consumer Expenditure Survey]

Table 728. Cost of Living Index—Selected Urban Areas, Annual Average: 2010—Con.[Data are for a selected urban area within the larger metropolitan area shown. Measures relative price levels for consumer goods and services in participating areas for a mid-management standard of living. The nationwide average equals 100 and each index is read as a percent of the national average. The index does not measure inflation, but compares prices at a single point in time. Excludes taxes. Metropolitan areas as defined by the Office of Management and Budget. For definitions, urban areas, and components of MSAs, see source. Beginning February 2008, data are based on an annual average survey compiled from data submitted in the first 3 quarters of the year. To calculate the annual average index, actual and estimated prices are collected to calculate an annual average price for each item used to represent the various spending categories. The share of consumer spending devoted to the category determines that category’s importance, or weight, in the Index. Weights are based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2009 Consumer Expenditure Survey]
