1 A small amount of fuel oil used for appliances is included in "Fuel Oil" under "All Uses."
NF = No applicable RSE row factor.
Q = Data withheld either because the Relative Standard Error (RSE) was greater than 50 percent or fewer
than 10 households were sampled.
Notes: • To obtain the RSE percentage for any table cell, multiply the corresponding column and row
factors. • Because of rounding, data may not sum to totals.
