Power bill, separately
EIA 2024 residential electricity in OH averages a $146 monthly bill at 900 kWh. The utilities line above already includes power, gas and water as a household bundle — this is the state rate as a cross-check, not an extra cost.
Non-housing lines start from BLS-order-of-magnitude national spending, then scale by this metro's cost index and your household size. Electricity rates are EIA state averages. Not a budget, not advice.
