Note: The HH Level Energy Burden attribute is different from the Energy Burden attribute defined in the Energy Affordability dimension. HH Level Energy Burden is calculated for individual households, whereas Energy Burden is calculated for groups of households within the same census tract. Each household in a tract is assigned the same value as other households in the tract.Type: Attribute |
