Notes to readers• The first pie chart needs a small image edit external to PowerPoint. PowerPoint proved to be

incapable of certain edits that attempted to overlay a pie chart within a pie chart, to depict costs per agency.

• Costs are from my own past 12 months of utility billing, checked in at the beginning of March, 2012.

• Household income is EDH median of $116,406 from 2007, the most recent citation I found when gathering this data.

• Median household income is a difficult statistic to track for EDH because we are unincorporated. This citation came from CNN Money, which in 2007 ranked EDH as 77th best place to live in the U.S. I avoided using my own household income instead of median because mine is somewhat higher, even though I’m now retired.

• Also see the data captured from the web for selected areas of California in 2004-2006 inreferences/images/residential_rates_median_2004-2006_california.jpg

This is the most recent such data found in a web search, newer statistics would be appropriate. This is an uncommon measure, it is not easy to locate.
