“…Although widespread disconnection moratoriums implemented during the pandemic (Bednar and Reames 2023) should have theoretically reduced the threat of energy 1 The U.S. Census Bureau includes similar measures in the Household Pulse Survey (HPS); however, as the Census Bureau has emphasized, the HPS is an experimental product with a relatively low response rate (6 percent to 8 percent, on average across waves, compared with 38 percent for the Residential Energy Consumption Survey), which increases the probability of nonresponse bias, even after applying HPS sampling weights (U.S. Census Bureau 2021).…”

Prior to 2020, little was known about how energy insecurity varies across U.S. states. The recent release of energy insecurity data from the Energy Information Administration facilitates the exploration of energy insecurity at the state level using the Residential Energy Consumption Survey. In this visualization, the authors use choropleth maps to show spatial variation in (1) forgoing basic necessities such as food or medicine to pay an energy bill and (2) keeping the home at an unhealthy temperature. Both are strategies used by households to prevent energy insecurity. The visualization highlights the state-level prevalence of each indicator.
