1 Estimates provided by the household interview respondents, who were asked which category best described the total heated floorspace in the home. Q = Data withheld either because the Relative Standard Error (RSE) was greater than 50 percent or fewer than 10 households were sampled. Notes: To obtain the RSE percentage for any table cell, multiply the corresponding column and row factors. • Because of rounding, data may not sum to totals. ⚫ See "Glossary" for definition of terms used in this report.

It does include the small number of households where the fuel for central air-conditioning equipment was something other than electricity; those households were treated as if the fuel was electricity. 5 Households where the main or secondary water-heating fuel is electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, kerosene, or LPG.
