Which municipalities and locations within the United States contribute
the most to household greenhouse gas emissions, and what is the effect
of population density and suburbanization on emissions?
Using national
household surveys, Christopher M. Jones and Daniel M. Kammen developed econometric models of demand for energy,
transportation, food, goods, and services that were used to derive
average household carbon footprints (HCF) for U.S. zip codes, cities,
counties, and metropolitan areas. They then mapped the HCF for the entire country.
Below are a couple screen shots of the maps for the nation, state and zip code 13350. Click
