Household Energy Usage
The 1997 Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) collected household energy data for the four most populated States: California, Florida, New York, and Texas. Data for all the other States are aggregated and available at the Census Division (groups of 3 to 8 States) level.
For an overview of the energy-related characteristics and usage in each of the four most populated States, click on the State (in the left column).
For detailed data, choose from the tables listed below. Each table presents the pertinent information for each of the four States. All these data are from the 1997 RECS and are the most recent end-user household data.
Energy End Usage: The suppliers of electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, and propane to the 5,000 households are then asked to provide the amount and cost of fuels delivered to the household. Through a statistical regression procedure, the total usage and costs of energy are allocated among four energy end uses: space heating, air conditioning, water heating, and appliances.
