Little Rock / Camden
Camden has 10,307 residents (give or take 67) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0510720, checked 2026-10-19), about 624 people per square mile.
Camden is about 85 miles from the Census center point for Little Rock in a straight line and covers 16.526 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 4,086 occupied homes in Camden, 63% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 33% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0510720, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 63% of Camden against electricity at 33%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Camden has about the Ouachita County oil share of 0% and 8 points less electric heat than the county's 41% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US05103, checked 2026-10-19).
Camden has 5,657 housing units, 5% built before 1940 and 71% before 1980, with 8% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0510720, checked 2026-10-19).
Camden has 3 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 11% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US05103, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Camden home was built in 1969 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0510720, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0510720, checked 2026-10-19).
78% of Camden homes are single-family detached, 9% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 6% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0510720, checked 2026-10-19).
With 78% detached houses and 9% in small multi-family buildings, a Camden quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 41% of Camden homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0510720, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
41% of Camden homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0510720, checked 2026-10-19), so the market splits between resident-led jobs where the occupant picks the system and landlord-led jobs where they do not, and the rebate paperwork differs.
71% of Camden homes were built before 1980 and only 8% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0510720, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.
No electric utility is on file for Camden 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 Camden is $49,361 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0510720, 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.
Heating design temperature: 23F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Ouachita 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 23F figure is the Ouachita County cold-day number a Camden heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 23F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 63% of Camden on gas and 33% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Camden home has 5.5 rooms and was built around 1969, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
