during the past year.
All items less food and energy
The index for all items less food and energy advanced 0.8 percent in the latest two month period. Higher

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 88 percent of the total
population and (2) a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI -W) which covers 29
percent of the total population. The CPI -U includes, in addition to wage earners 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 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.
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/hom/liomchl7_a.htm.
hi 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-term 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.
