The x-axis represents the percent of income a household spends on electricity. The red dotted line indicates the 10% income spending threshold, and EB10 details the proportion of households above the energy spending threshold. For example, in 2015–2016, 2.7% of households in our sample spent more than 10% of their income on electricity. The maximum amount of spending in our sample population is 35%.
