Cabot in Lonoke County

Cabot has 26,960 residents (give or take 34) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0510300, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,299 people per square mile.

The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Cabot that is 72023 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).

Fuel mix

Of the 10,160 occupied homes in Cabot, 37% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 61% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0510300, checked 2026-10-19).

Electricity already heats 61% of Cabot homes, ahead of gas at 37%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.

Cabot has about the Lonoke County oil share of 0% and 6 points less electric heat than the county's 67% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US05085, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Cabot has 10,677 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 13% before 1980, with 50% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0510300, checked 2026-10-19).

Cabot has 6 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 44% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US05085, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Cabot home was built in 2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0510300, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0510300, checked 2026-10-19).

77% of Cabot homes are single-family detached, 6% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 13% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0510300, checked 2026-10-19).

With 77% detached houses and 6% in small multi-family buildings, a Cabot quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 31% of Cabot homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0510300, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.

50% of Cabot housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0510300, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Cabot on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

Median household income in Cabot is $75,000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0510300, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 20F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Lonoke County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 8 to 11 of 141 (Revised 11/11/2020), https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/Design%20Temperature%20Limit%20Reference%20Guide%20(2019%20Ed)%20-%20ENERGY%20STAR%20Single-Family%20New%20Homes_Rev11.pdf, fetched 2026-10-19, 99%.

That 20F figure is the Lonoke County cold-day number a Cabot heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 20F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Cabot home has 5.8 rooms and was built around 2000, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
