Of the 5,149 occupied homes in Marion, 48% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 49% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0544180, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 49% of Marion homes, ahead of gas at 48%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Marion has about the Crittenden County oil share of 0% and 1 points more electric heat than the county's 48% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US05035, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Marion home was built in 1999 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0544180, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0544180, checked 2026-10-19).
80% of Marion homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 15% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0544180, checked 2026-10-19).

With 28% of Marion homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0544180, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Marion has 10 points more detached houses than Crittenden County overall (70%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US05035, checked 2026-10-19).
48% of Marion housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0544180, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Marion 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 Marion is $78,330 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0544180, 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.

That 20F figure is the Crittenden County cold-day number a Marion 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.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Marion home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 1999, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
