> State-level average residential electricity prices and a simple bill estimator for all 50 US states and DC.

Each state page reports an average residential electricity price in cents per kilowatt-hour (¢/kWh). Bill estimates use the EIA all-in average residential rate, which already includes delivery, fixed charges, and other utility fees (it is computed from what customers actually paid); locally billed taxes vary by area.

Knowledge endpoints expose machine-readable data: index.json includes an integritySignature for system-level verification, every knowledge page carries meta.freshness (datasetUpdatedAt, status, ageDays, methodology) and an integer meta.qualityScore (0–100), and changelog.json records metric-level deltas (metricChanges).
