;
A stratified sample of 1200 households in the 46 counties of South Carolina, 10 counties in Georgia, and 14 counties in North Carolina were selected and household interviews were conducted. Statistical tables and graphs were prepared showing energy consumption and use by income category, by type of housing, by size of household, by type of head of household, by region of state, by type of energy used, by level of education, by different States covered by the study, by age of head of household, and other study variables. Estimates for the various population parameters were developed; hypotheses established in previous studies were tested; ANOVA and chi-square tests were used to test various null and alternative hypotheses; possible explanatory variables were determined and a regression and correlation analysis between energy use and those variables was run; and the relation between disposable income and expenditure on energy was established.
