This paper goes into great detail about how urban households have lower emissions than suburban ones.[0] This is made up of the different energy, transportation, food, goods, and services emissions of the different lifestyles associated with each area. For instance, going beyond transportation, climate control for buildings is one of the top uses of energy. Detached single-family homes are pretty must worst case, compared to attached housing, or even multi-story apartments, etc.
