This paper develops a novel index of vulnerable homes in terms of fuel poverty that is based on the analysis of different existing fuel poverty indicators and their relationship to the residential sector.

We investigate the geographical features of fuel poverty using different indicators.
We compare the spatial distribution of fuel poverty using a 10% and LIHC indicator.
The shift to a LIHC indicator has disproportionately affected regions with lower housing costs.
Using spatial analyses, the paper interrogates sub-regional estimates of the two indicators in England, where the LIHC indicator was first conceived.
The analysis offers insights into the spatial pattern of fuel poverty within a city and thus provides an opportunity to channel efforts towards households in those neighbourhoods most in need.

The report evaluates the typology of buildings, the cost of electricity against income, the use
of electricity and quality of life as a phenomenon closely related to energy poverty. Energy
