与欧洲部分地区相比，尤其是北方，美国对燃料贫困的关注较少。我们使用2009年美国住宅能源消费调查的数据来说明问题的严重程度，并对比收入和能源支出不同的房主和租房者。将焦点缩小到该国东海岸的房主，我们使用logit模型来寻找相对寒冷的东北州与温暖的南大西洋州的燃料贫困预测因素的差异。总体而言，这些预测因素的相似性大于差异性。绝缘标准因地区而异，这对南大西洋各州很重要，根据我们的定义，那些自我报告具有足够绝缘的受访者不太可能处于燃料贫困状态。(C)2018 Elsevier B.V.版权所有。
Fuel poverty has received less attention in the US than in parts of Europe, particularly Northern Europe. We use data from the 2009 US Residential Energy Consumption Survey to illustrate the extent of the problem and to contrast homeowners and renters who differ in both income and energy expenditure. Narrowing the focus to homeowners on the east coast of the country, we use a logit model to look for differences in predictors of fuel poverty in the relatively cold Northeast states versus warmer South Atlantic states. Overall, there are more similarities than differences in these predictors. Insulation standards differ regionally and this is important for the South Atlantic states where respondents who self-report having adequate insulation are less likely to be in fuel poverty by our definition.
