Energy Affordability & Economic Equity Index

This dataset focuses on the affordability of energy and its relationship to economic equity across U.S. states. It brings together indicators related to energy costs, household burden, income distribution, and broader economic conditions, alongside a composite index designed to support comparative analysis.

The dataset is particularly relevant for research on cost of living, inequality, energy access, and social outcomes. It is suitable for public-interest analysis, academic work, journalism, and policy-oriented research.

All variables are structured to enable direct comparison across states and time periods.
