Lowest gas heat by state

Homes heated by utility gas.

This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.

Share of occupied homes heating with piped utility gas. Where this is low, the state's gas price barely matters — Florida's price per unit looks steep, but only about one home in twenty burns any.
