Annual average price of natural gas delivered to residential consumers, in nominal US dollars per thousand cubic feet, published by the US Energy Information Administration.
Includes delivery charges and taxes collected by the utility. Calculated from revenues and volumes of gas sold to residential consumers; excludes gas transported for third-party suppliers. It is not a wholesale price, a commercial price or a household bill. Missing values remain unavailable. 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.
