Little Rock / Searcy
Searcy has 23,340 residents (give or take 42) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0563020, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,274 people per square mile.
Searcy is about 50 miles from the Census center point for Little Rock in a straight line and covers 18.317 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 8,776 occupied homes in Searcy, 39% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 59% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0563020, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 59% of Searcy homes, ahead of gas at 39%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Searcy has about the White County oil share of 0% and 5 points less electric heat than the county's 64% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US05145, checked 2026-10-19).
Searcy has 10,016 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 38% before 1980, with 28% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0563020, checked 2026-10-19).
Searcy has 5 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 33% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US05145, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Searcy home was built in 1989 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0563020, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0563020, checked 2026-10-19).
65% of Searcy homes are single-family detached, 10% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 20% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0563020, checked 2026-10-19).
46% of Searcy homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0563020, 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.
Searcy has 13 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 7% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US05145, checked 2026-10-19).
46% of Searcy homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0563020, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Searcy 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 Searcy is $52,170 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0563020, 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 White County cold-day number a Searcy 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 for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Searcy home has 5.1 rooms and was built around 1989, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
