Sources and method
U.S. Energy Information Administration, Residential Utility Disconnections Report supplies the figures shown.
Electricity disconnections are events for unpaid bills. One account can be disconnected more than once; this is not a count of distinct households.
About these figures
Survey respondents, aggregate income and utility disconnection events have different denominators. These measures are not added together.
Place comparisons use the same data period. An older common period is named beside the comparison. A missing or withheld value is never changed to zero.
The CSV includes the original source notes, annotations and estimate margins where supplied. Original source data remain subject to their publishers’ terms.
We write with AI tools. Every figure comes from the data and sources named on this page, and automated checks compare it with them before it's published.
