State fact sheets on household energy use

RECS 2009 — Release date:  August 13, 2013 (Correction)

The RECS gathers information through personal interviews with a nationwide sample of homes and energy suppliers. The 2009 survey was the largest RECS to date and the larger sample size allowed for the release of data for 16 individual states, in addition to national, regional, and division-level estimates.

See a closer look at residential energy consumption in a two-page format with graphs and text for these 16 states:

Arizona California Colorado Florida Georgia Illinois Massachusetts Michigan Missouri New Jersey New York Pennsylvania Tennessee Texas Virginia Wisconsin

States that are highlighted have fact sheets.

Detailed information on the fact sheets cover many areas of interest:

• Overall energy use, electricity use, and expenditures
• Residential consumption by end use (air conditioning, heating, appliances)
• Main heating fuel
• Use of cooling equipment
• Housing types and year of construction
