Ranked: Who Uses the World’s Coal?

See visuals like this from many other data creators on our Voronoi app. Download it for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

Key Takeaways

  • China accounts for 51.7% of global coal consumption, using more than all other countries combined.
  • The top six countries make up 87% of global demand.
  • India is a distant second at 11.7%, followed by Indonesia (9.0%).
  • The U.S. and Australia each contribute about 5% of global demand.

Coal consumption is more concentrated than any other major fuel globally.

This chart ranks the world’s largest coal consumers using data from the Statistical Review of World Energy 2025, highlighting how demand is distributed across major economies.

Why China Uses So Much Coal

China consumes 4,780 million tonnes of coal annually, over half the global total, reflecting its role as the world’s largest industrial producer and its continued reliance on coal for electricity generation despite rapid growth in renewables.

Below we list the biggest coal consumers based on 2024 data:

Rank Country Millions of tonnes of coal (2024) Share
1 🇨🇳 China 4,780.0 51.7%
2 🇮🇳 India 1,085.1 11.7%
3 🇮🇩 Indonesia 836.1 9.0%
4 🇺🇸 U.S. 464.6 5.0%
5 🇦🇺 Australia 462.9 5.0%
6 🇷🇺 Russia 427.2 4.6%
7 🇿🇦 South Africa 235.0 2.5%
8 🇩🇪 Germany 91.9 1.0%
9 🇹🇷 Türkiye 87.0 0.9%
10 🇵🇱 Poland 85.2 0.9%
11 🇨🇴 Colombia 52.7 0.6%
12 🇻🇳 Vietnam 43.8 0.5%
13 🇨🇦 Canada 42.6 0.5%
-- 🌍 Other 547.4 5.9%
-- 🌐 World 9,241.5 100.0%

Together, the top six countries account for 87% of global coal consumption, underscoring how demand is concentrated in a small number of large economies.

Beyond China, coal consumption is heavily concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region. India (11.7%), Indonesia (9.0%), and Australia (5.0%) are other major Asia-Pacific consumers, while the U.S. also sits at 5.0% of demand.

Where Coal Consumption is Still Growing

As countries transition toward cleaner energy, coal demand is expected to diverge. While usage is declining in many advanced economies, it remains resilient in fast-growing regions where energy demand continues to rise.

The following table shows where coal use is still growing between 2023 and 2024:

Rank Country Coal Use (2023) Coal Use (2024) Growth (YoY)
1 🇹🇷 Türkiye 74.2 87.0 16.9%
2 🇵🇰 Pakistan 17.4 19.1 9.5%
3 🇮🇩 Indonesia 775.2 836.1 7.6%
4 🇮🇳 India 1011.3 1085.1 7.0%
5 🇨🇳 China 4723.3 4780.0 0.9%

While coal use is declining across much of the West, it continues to grow in several emerging economies—highlighting the uneven pace of the global energy transition.

Ranked: U.S. Cities by Share of Income Spent on Food and Housing

See visuals like this from many other data creators on our Voronoi app. Download it for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

Key Takeaways

  • In San Diego and Miami, nearly half of income goes to food and housing.
  • Sun Belt cities like Orlando and Tampa now exceed one-third of income on essentials.
  • High wages in San Jose cut the cost burden to just 18.3%, the lowest in the dataset.

How much of your income goes to basic living costs?

This chart ranks major U.S. cities by the share of income spent on food and housing for a single adult in 2025, based on data from the Urban Stress Index, along with market rents and Numbeo food prices.

In the most expensive cities, the burden is steep. San Diego tops the list at 47%, meaning nearly half of income goes toward just these two categories. By contrast, in San Jose, that share drops to 18.3%—showing how higher wages can offset even the highest costs.

Where Cost of Living Hits Hardest

San Diego (47%) and Miami (45.4%) stand out as the most strained cities, where food and housing alone consume nearly half of income. In both metros, rent growth continues to outpace wage gains, while strong population inflows in Miami are keeping housing demand elevated.

The pressure isn’t limited to coastal hubs. In Florida, Orlando and Tampa both exceed 34% of income, highlighting how affordability challenges have spread to fast-growing Sun Belt cities once seen as lower-cost alternatives.

This table shows the share of income spent on food and housing for a single adult in each city, based on market-rate one-bedroom rents and Numbeo food price indices.

Rank City Share of Income Spent on Food and Housing
1 San Diego, CA 47.0%
2 Miami, FL 45.4%
3 Boston, MA 38.3%
4 Los Angeles, CA 38.1%
5 Orlando, FL 37.7%
6 Boise, ID 36.1%
7 Tampa, FL 34.4%
8 Atlanta, GA 34.3%
9 New York, NY 34.1%
10 Washington, DC 33.7%
11 Chicago, IL 33.5%
12 Madison, WI 32.2%
13 Kansas City, MO 31.6%
14 Portland, OR 30.6%
15 Nashville, TN 30.6%
16 Charlotte, NC 30.5%
17 Pittsburgh, PA 29.6%
18 Boulder, CO 29.0%
19 Phoenix, AZ 28.6%
20 Salt Lake City, UT 28.2%
21 Raleigh, NC 28.1%
22 Denver, CO 28.0%
23 Minneapolis, MN 27.5%
24 Dallas, TX 27.5%
25 San Antonio, TX 27.5%
26 Columbus, OH 27.5%
27 Cleveland, OH 27.2%
28 Seattle, WA 26.6%
29 Austin, TX 26.2%
30 Houston, TX 25.5%
31 San Francisco, CA 23.0%
32 Detroit, MI 23.0%
33 San Jose, CA 18.3%
-- Dataset Average 30.9%

Boston and Los Angeles remain firmly in the “stretched” category, where over a third of income goes to basics. Notably, cost burdens in these metros exceed those in New York City, despite the Big Apple having the second-highest rental costs in the country.

The Cities Where Income Goes Furthest

At the other end of the spectrum, San Jose flips the equation. Despite some of the highest prices in the country, residents spend just 18.3% of income on food and housing, less than half the burden seen in San Diego.

Beyond the tech hub, other relatively affordable cities include:

  • Detroit: 23%
  • San Francisco: 23%
  • Houston: 25.5%
  • Austin: 26.2%

San Francisco’s presence here is especially notable. While prices are among the highest in the U.S., incomes are also elevated enough to reduce relative strain. Additionally, rent prices have increased just 2% since 2021, among the slowest rates across major U.S. cities.

Ultimately, affordability isn’t just about how much things cost; it’s about how much income those costs consume. And in a growing number of U.S. cities, that share is rising faster than many workers’ paychecks.

Mapped: Where Gas Costs Are Highest—and Why

See visuals like this from many other data creators on our Voronoi app. Download it for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

Key Takeaways

  • U.S. drivers spend between $1.6K and $3.3K per year on gas, depending on the state.
  • Driving distance—not gas prices—is the biggest factor behind higher costs.
  • Rural states like Wyoming top the list, while Northeast states rank lowest due to shorter commutes.

Gas prices only tell part of the story.

Across the U.S., drivers can pay more than twice as much annually for fuel, even in states where gas is relatively cheap. The difference comes down to how much people drive.

Using data from AAA and the Federal Highway Administration via FinanceBuzz, this map estimates annual gasoline costs by state based on April 15, 2026 prices, average miles driven, and a fuel efficiency of 25.6 miles per gallon.

The result is a clear divide: states with longer driving distances, often rural, face the highest total costs, while shorter commutes in the Northeast keep annual spending far lower.

Ranked: Where Gas Costs Add Up the Most

Wyoming tops the list at $3,343 per year, over $1,000 above the national average, not because of high gas prices but because of how much people drive.

Drivers in the state log nearly 22,000 miles annually, about 50% more than the U.S. average, pushing total fuel costs higher despite below-average prices at the pump.

Other rural states, like Indiana ($2,928) and Mississippi ($2,912), also rank among the highest due to longer driving distances, even with gas prices below the U.S. average of $4.07 per gallon.

The table below breaks down estimated annual gas costs by state, combining April 15, 2026 fuel prices, average miles driven, and a fuel efficiency of 25.6 miles per gallon.

48 Delaware $1,684 $3.97 10,854
49 Rhode Island $1,616 $3.97 10,411
50 New York $1,582 $4.13 9,815
-- 🇺🇸 U.S. State Average $2,285 $4.07 14,558

California ranks sixth at $2,705 per year. Despite having the highest gas prices in the country, shorter driving distances, about 11,780 miles annually versus the 13,916 national average, keep total costs lower than in many cheaper states.

Why Northeast Drivers Spend the Least on Gas

The same pattern plays out in reverse in the Northeast.

In New York, drivers spend just $1,582 per year, about $700 below the national average, largely because they drive the fewest miles (9,185 annually). States like Rhode Island, Delaware, and New Jersey follow a similar pattern, where shorter commutes keep total fuel costs low even when gas prices are relatively high.

Ultimately, the states with the highest gas prices aren’t always the most expensive places to drive. Instead, longer commutes in rural America push total costs higher, changing how fuel affordability is actually experienced.

Charted: AI Articles Have Overtaken Human-Written Ones

See visuals like this from many other data creators on our Voronoi app. Download it for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

Key Takeaways

  • AI-generated articles rose from 2.2% of sampled articles in January 2020 to 51.7% in May 2025.
  • Graphite estimates AI-written articles first surpassed human-written ones in November 2024.
  • The study looked at 65,000 English-language URLs from Common Crawl and classified articles as AI-generated when more than half the text was flagged as AI-written.

AI-written articles have gone from a small share of the web to a majority of sampled articles in just five years.

This visualization is part of Visual Capitalist’s AI Week, sponsored by Terzo. It visualizes monthly data from Graphite, which studied 65,000 English-language URLs from Common Crawl and tracked how the share of AI-generated articles changed between January 2020 and May 2025.

When AI-Written Articles Passed Human-Written Ones

In January of 2020, 97.8% of written content analyzed by Graphite was written by humans, with just 2.2% written by AI. One year after ChatGPT’s launch, in November 2023, AI-written content had risen to make up 39%.

According to Graphite, AI-generated articles eventually surpassed human-written ones in November 2024, marking a major turning point in web publishing. As of May 2025, AI-written articles accounted for 51.7% of Graphite’s sample, slightly above the human-written share.

A Plateau After Rapid Growth

While AI-written content grew quickly, the trend has leveled off more recently. Graphite found that the proportion of AI-generated articles has remained relatively stable since May 2024, suggesting that the first wave of explosive adoption may have cooled.

Importantly, this does not mean most web traffic goes to AI-written content. Graphite notes that publishing volume and audience visibility are different measures, and AI-generated articles appear less visible in Google and ChatGPT than their prevalence in published articles suggests.

How Articles Were Classified

Graphite split each article into 500-word chunks and used Surfer’s AI detector to estimate how much of it was AI-written. An article was labeled AI-generated if more than 50% of its content was flagged as AI-written.

This study focused specifically on English-language articles and listicles, not all online content. To be included, URLs had to have article schema markup, contain at least 100 words, and have publish dates between January 2020 and May 2025.

46 Vermont 14.0%
47 Iowa 13.8%
48 Oklahoma 13.3%
49 North Dakota 12.3%
50 Arkansas 11.8%
51 West Virginia 10.8%
-- 🇺🇸 U.S. Average 18.2%

The leaderboard is dominated by Western and Mountain states. Nine states and D.C. report AI use at 20% or above, with most of them west of the Mississippi. California, often assumed to be the AI heartland, ranks 13th at 19.5%—above the national average of 18.2% but still behind the leading states.

A few non-Western standouts appear near the top. Maryland (20.7%) and Delaware (20.0%) benefit from proximity to federal agencies and the mid-Atlantic professional services corridor. Florida (20.9%) and Texas (19.8%) reflect the Sun Belt’s rapid growth in tech employment and startup formation over the past several years.

Where AI Usage Still Lags in America

At the other end of the map, West Virginia trails every state at 10.8%, followed by Arkansas (11.8%), North Dakota (12.3%), Oklahoma (13.3%), and Iowa (13.8%). Vermont (14.0%) and New Mexico (14.1%) round out the bottom seven.

These states share a common profile: smaller average firm sizes, heavier concentrations in agriculture, extraction, and manufacturing, and fewer professional services businesses—the sectors that have driven most AI adoption so far. Vermont is a partial exception, but its small-business-heavy economy tracks with the broader pattern.

Several large-population states also sit below average. New York reports just 15.3% AI use, Michigan 15.2%, and New Jersey 15.9%. Despite dense corporate footprints, their economy-wide averages are pulled down by the long tail of small firms that have been slower to deploy AI tools.

Firm Size Shows a Big Divide in AI Adoption

The state-to-state spread is wide, but the gap between large and small businesses is wider. Businesses with 250 or more employees report 32.5% AI use on average. Businesses with just 5 to 9 employees report 17.3%.

In other words, business size appears to matter even more than geography. The gap between large and small firms is bigger than the gap between the highest-adoption state, Colorado, and the lowest, West Virginia. Larger firms have the IT staff, vendor relationships, and structured workflows that make it easier to pilot and scale AI. Smaller firms face a steeper cost-per-seat and often rely on whatever AI is bundled into the software they already use.

As off-the-shelf AI gets cheaper and more embedded in everyday tools, the size gap is likely to narrow. But as of early 2026, where a business operates matters less for its AI adoption than how big it is.
