Additional information

This addendum to The Clean Power Plan's Economic Impact shows detailed results for the 48 contiguous
states.
For each state, the findings present four different expenditure burdens:
1. The current average annual electricity costs relative to 2014 median household income (cost burden) by
neighborhood (formally U.S. Census Tracts);
2. The impact on the electricity cost burden by neighborhood if the Clean Power Plan (CPP) is implemented,
and consumers do not change their behavior;
3. The impact on the electricity cost burden by neighborhood if the CPP is implemented and consumers
economize on their consumption based on the estimated short-term behavioral responses; and
4. The impact on the electricity burden by neighborhood if the CPP is implemented and consumers economize
on their consumption based on the estimated long-term behavioral responses.
Detailed state maps are provided for each of the four expenditure burdens.
County-level information by state can be accessed via an interactive map online at pacificresearch.org
