According to to stat.gov.pl [1] the average Polish household uses ~24.6 GJ of energy annually per 1 inhabitant. That's 6800 kWh annually per 1 inhabitant.
According to eia.gov [2][3] the average US household uses annually 56.6 million BTUs of natural gas and 10500 kWh of electricity. 56.6 million BTUs is 16600 kWh. That would bring the total to 27100 kWh.
But wait...the Polish data is per inhabitant. The average number of people per household in the US is 2.6. Dividing 27100 by 2.6 gives 10400 kWh. Alternatively, the average Polish household is 2.47 people, which would give Polish per household usage of 16800 kWh.
The US does appear to use more energy per household (total or per inhabitant) than Poland, but by a factor of about 1.6, not 5.
