United States CPI-U all-items index, U.S. city average, seasonally adjusted

Reviewed series · Fiscal & Monetary · Monthly · 1982-84=100 · BLS.USA.CPI.ALL.INDEX.SA.M

CPI-U, U.S. city average, regularly published monthly index; seasonally adjusted. SA 0 is all items; SA 0 L 1 E excludes food and energy. Base 1982-84=100. These are index levels, not publisher YoY percent changes. BLS recalculates factors with January CPI and revises the previous five years. Documentation considers older seasonally adjusted indexes final, but this parser does not infer an observation flag from an empty API footnote. The retained current history is not a sequence of historical releases. Publisher monthly index reference period; individual sampling or quotation dates are not exposed by this API. Exact source reference date unknown; calendar month end is a SOTW coverage/freshness boundary. Original numbers, explicit missing rows and footnotes retained. No growth rates, payroll changes or release times are computed. Absent preliminary flags do not establish finality.
