The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased percent in December on a seasonally adjusted basis, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index rose percent before seasonal adjustment. An increase of percent in the shelter index accounted for almost 80 percent of the 1-month all items increase. The food index rose in December, with the indexes for food at home and food away from home both increasing. The energy index, which rose sharply in November, declined in December as the gasoline index decreased.
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.
