Reducing　carbon　emissions　from　households　can　significantly　contribute　to　achieving　carbon　neutrality.　This　study　examined　household　carbon　emissions　and　explored　potential　issues　of　inequality　in　China　from　2010　to　2018.　We　found　that　the　average　carbon　emissions　of　all　households　increased　over　the　years,　with　the　housing　category　experiencing　the　highest　growth　rate　of　52.25%.　Household　carbon　emissions　are　not　the　same　across　different　regions　and　income　groups.　Inequality　in　carbon　emissions　is　the　highest　in　the　eastern　part　of　the　country,　followed　by　the　central　and　western　regions,　and　the　lowest　in　the　northeast.　Carbon　emissions　inequality　is　highest　among　middle-income　households,　followed　by　high-income　households,　and　the　lowest　among　low-income　households.　These　differences　can　be　attributed　to　various　factors　such　as　population,　technology,　and　socio-economic　status.　This　study　recommends　implementing　regional　carbon　taxes　and　income　differential　tax　policies　to　address　household　carbon　emissions　inequalities.　©　2024
