I came out with 20,959, and the average was 20,750 for a household of one. I can somewhat see this since I have a house, instead of an apartment, and that house is an old one. I have to drive a long way to work daily and there is nothing I can do about it. I live in the north, so winters are cold. But I don't have air conditioning, I use all cfl bulbs, I have thermal windows.

So how do you have 1,485?????
