Sources and method

U.S. Energy Information Administration, Natural Gas Prices supplies the figures shown.

The selected source’s unit, population and data period determine what the figure describes. The measures are not added into a total household budget.

About these figures

Heating oil and propane prices are collected weekly from October through March, and only in states that use them widely.

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.
