About this ranking

Annual volume of natural gas delivered to residential consumers, in million cubic feet, published by the US Energy Information Administration. Volumes are reported at a pressure of 14.73 pounds per square inch absolute and a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Total residential consumption, not consumption per household or per person. Does not include commercial, industrial or electric power use. History is loaded from 1967; some state series begin later. Annual data can be revised.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the states are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
