Glasgow Caledonian University study on fuel poverty in urban and rural households in Scotland. The analysis draws on records of household expenditure on gas used for space and water heating matched with records of dwelling and household information from sources accessed through Renfrewshire Council covering the period between 2013 and 2015 and analysed using a range of standard statistical techniques. The results uncover evidence for previously unreported geographies of fuel poverty, and in so doing challenge commonly used assumptions, metrics, and approaches to policy making. Key findings include figures showing low income rural households in Scotland are spending significantly more on energy than their urban equivalents, and evidence showing that rural households on lower incomes may be spending more on heating than those on higher incomes.
