CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FOR ALL URBAN CONSUMERS An index of prices of goods and services typically purchased by urban consumers. The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) is the official name for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) commonly reported in the media. It is compiled and published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), using price data obtained from an elaborate survey of 25,000 retail outlets and quantity data generated by the Consumer Expenditures Survey.
