PROCESSED, analysis-ready household energy burden datasets from the DOE Low-Income Energy Affordability Data (LEAD) Tool, formatted for the emburden R package. Scope: All 51 US states and territories (50 states + DC) IMPORTANT: These are PRE-PROCESSED datasets, not raw OpenEI data. They have been: Aggregated by census tract + income bracket Enriched with computed energy burden metrics (EROI, NER, DEAR) Standardized for immediate analysis Quality-checked and validated This repository provides census tract-level data on household energy burden for the entire United States, covering ~73,000 census tracts. Data includes both Area Median Income (AMI) and Federal Poverty Line (FPL) cohort analyses for 2018 and 2022 vintages. Files Included: lead_ami_cohorts_2022_us.csv.gz: 2022 AMI cohort data (701,490 records, 148 MB) lead_fpl_cohorts_2022_us.csv.gz: 2022 FPL cohort data (588,163 records, 52 MB) lead_ami_cohorts_2018_us.csv.gz: 2018 AMI cohort data (530,500 records, 54 MB) lead_fpl_cohorts_2018_us.csv.gz: 2018 FPL cohort data (514,893 records, 53 MB) checksums.txt: MD5 checksums for verification Total size: 307 MB compressed Data Processing Source: Raw LEAD Tool data from OpenEI Processing: emburden R package v0.4.8 data pipeline Format: CSV (aggregated tract-level cohorts with computed metrics) Ready for: Immediate analysis, no additional processing required Coverage States: All 51 (50 states + DC, excludes PR) Census Tracts: ~73,000 nationwide Total Records: 2.3+ million cohort observations Income Brackets: 4-6 per dataset/vintage Data Sources Original raw data from: DOE LEAD Tool 2022: https://data.openei.org/submissions/6219 DOE LEAD Tool 2018: https://data.openei.org/submissions/573 Processed using: emburden R package v0.4.8 (https://github.com/ScheierVentures/emburden) Citation When using this data, please cite: This Zenodo repository (DOI provided) The emburden R package v0.4.8 The original DOE LEAD Tool publications License CC-BY-4.0 (same as source data)
