\1\ CPI-U-X1 is a rental equivalence approach to homeowners' costs for the consumer price index for years prior to 1983, the first year for which the
official index (CPI-U) incorporates such a measure. CPI-U-X1 is rebased to the December 1982 value of the CPI-U (1982-84=100); thus it is identical
with CPI-U data for December 1982 and all subsequent periods.  Data prior to 1967 estimated by moving the series at the same rate as the CPI-U for
each year.
