How we computed it

  1. Take each state's average home price for 2024 and 2025. District of Columbia: 17.71 and 21.94 cents.
  2. Divide and subtract 1: 21.94 ÷ 17.71 − 1 = 0.2388, or 23.9%.
  3. Extra cost a year: price difference in dollars × average monthly use × 12. District of Columbia: (21.94 − 17.71) ÷ 100 × 639 × 12 = $324.
  4. Count states above 5%: 24.

Formula: change = price2025 / price2024 - 1; extra cost = (price2025 - price2024) / 100 x monthly kWh x 12
