Rates Dashboard Video 8: The Characteristics tab The Characteristics tab displays information
about the utility and its service area. At the top, we list the characteristics referenced
to when you select the comparison groups in the Rates Comparison tab. The last row of
the top table lists the primary service area community. As mentioned before, we ve linked
each utility to a service area: a Census Place. In the second table, we provide the demographic
data of the Census Place as it appears in Census 2000. The poverty rate is important
when you want to consider affordability beyond the % MHI gauge. Also, you can see how your
community s service area demographics compares to the median of all of the utilities statewide.
This gives you an indication of some of the differences between your utility s service
population and those of most other utilities. If, for example, your utility s service population
size or percentage of residents below the poverty line differs greatly from other utilities,
these factors may affect your rate-setting decisions. In the third table (if applicable),
we show the ratio of your outside rates to inside rates. Outside rates are the rates
that municipalities charge to customers who live outside of the municipal limits. PAGE
