(See table A.) Regional Commissioner Richard J. Holden noted that the February increase was influenced by higher prices for shelter. (Data in this report are not seasonally adjusted. Accordingly, mouth -to -month changes may reflect seasonal influences.) Over the last 12 months, the CPI -U rose 2.4 percent. (See chart 1.) Energy prices decreased 3.5 percent, largely the result of a decrease in the price of gasoline. The index for all items less food and energy advanced 2.9 percent since February 2013.

Prices for food away from home rose 3.8 percent since a year ago, and prices for food at home moved up 1.1 percent. Energy The energy index increased 3.5 percent for the two months ending in February 2014. The increase was mainly due to higher prices for gasoline (3.3 percent).

All items less food and energy The index for all items less food and energy increased 1.2 percent in the latest two-month period.

The April 2014 Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco -Oakland -San Jose is scheduled to be released on May 15, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. (PDT). , Technical Note The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes CPIs for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI -U) which covers approximately 87 percent of the total population and (2) a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI -W) which covers 32 percent of the total population. The CPI -U includes, in addition to wage eamers and clerical workers, 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 CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors' and dentists' services, drugs, and the other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Each month, prices are collected in 87 urban areas across the country from about 4,000 housing units and approximately 25,000 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. The index measures price changes from a designated reference date (1982-84) that equals 100.0. An increase of 16.5 percent, for example, is shown as 116.5. This change can also 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 see the CPI home page on the Internet at www.bls.gov/cpi and the BLS Handbook of Methods, Chapter 17, The Consumer Price Index, available on the Internet at www.bls.gov/opub/hoin/hoi-nchl7-a.htm. 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. Because the sample size of a local area is smaller, the local area index is subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the national index. In addition, local indexes are not adjusted for seasonal influences. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long -tern trends are quite similar. NOTE: Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices between cities; they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period. The San Francisco -Oakland -San Jose, CA. metropolitan area covered in this release is comprised of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, San Benito, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Sonoma, and Solano Counties in the State of California.
