Little Rock / Mountain Home
Mountain Home has 13,108 residents (give or take 22) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0547390, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,091 people per square mile.
Mountain Home is about 111 miles from the Census center point for Little Rock in a straight line and covers 12.01 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 6,341 occupied homes in Mountain Home, 55% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 43% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0547390, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 55% of Mountain Home against electricity at 43%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Mountain Home has about the Baxter County oil share of 0% and 10 points less electric heat than the county's 53% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US05005, checked 2026-10-19).
Mountain Home has 6,797 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 47% before 1980, with 19% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0547390, checked 2026-10-19).
Mountain Home has 3 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 22% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US05005, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Mountain Home home was built in 1982 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0547390, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0547390, checked 2026-10-19).
65% of Mountain Home homes are single-family detached, 11% 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=160XX00US0547390, checked 2026-10-19).
39% of Mountain Home homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0547390, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 65% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Mountain Home has 9 points fewer detached houses than Baxter County overall (74%) and 10 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 5% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US05005, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Mountain Home 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 Mountain Home is $41,274 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0547390, 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: 17F.

That 17F figure is the Baxter County cold-day number a Mountain Home heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 17F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 55% of Mountain Home on gas and 43% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Mountain Home home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1982, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
