## Methodology

Latest DESNZ sub-national domestic electricity and gas workbooks. Total consumption, meter counts and means are retained; per-meter figures are not the same as per-household or per-person consumption.

## Visualisations

- [Overview](https://londongraph.com/g/home-energy-use-by-borough): Mean domestic electricity and gas consumption per meter across London.
- [Map](https://londongraph.com/g/home-energy-use-by-borough?view=geography): Compare the same measure geographically.
- [Distribution](https://londongraph.com/g/home-energy-use-by-borough?view=distribution): Place every mapped area in the selected measure's distribution while preserving missing values.
- [Gas vs electricity](https://londongraph.com/g/home-energy-use-by-borough?view=relationship): Compare average domestic gas and electricity consumption per meter. Caveat: A spatial association does not establish that either measure causes the other.
