The final consumption sectors (mobility, food, housing, goods and services) contributed very differently to the total environmental footprint of European households in 2015 (Figure 3). On average, housing and mobility are the two largest sectors, accounting for nearly two thirds of both the energy and carbon footprints. However, there are big differences between the sectors when looking at the respective contributions of each expenditure decile. For housing there is very little difference between deciles in both the energy and the carbon footprint. The bottom four deciles even have higher carbon footprints from housing than most top deciles, which can be explained by the extreme differences in intensity shown in Figure 2. Mobility was the most unequal sector, with footprints in the top decile 10 times higher than the bottom decile, corroborating findings in [@ivanova_quantifying_2020] and [@oswald_large_2020]. Goods was the second most unequal final consumption sector (10:10 ratios around `r goods_energy_10_10` for both footprints), followed by services (10:10 ratios of `r services_energy_10_10` for energy and `r services_co2eq_10_10` for carbon) and then food (10:10 ratios of `r food_energy_10_10` for both footprints).
