Portland / Aloha
Aloha has 52,389 residents (give or take 2,179) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4101650, checked 2026-10-19), about 7,179 people per square mile.
Aloha is about 11 miles from the Census center point for Portland in a straight line and covers 7.298 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).
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Aloha that is 97003, 97078 (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).
7,179 people per square mile puts Aloha in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
Of the 18,616 occupied homes in Aloha, 59% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 37% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4101650, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 59% of Aloha against electricity at 37%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Aloha has about the Washington County oil share of 1% and 9 points less electric heat than the county's 46% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US41067, checked 2026-10-19).
Aloha has 19,436 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 43% before 1980, with 26% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4101650, checked 2026-10-19).
Aloha has 5 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 31% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US41067, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Aloha home was built in 1984 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4101650, 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=160XX00US4101650, checked 2026-10-19).
71% of Aloha homes are single-family detached, 6% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 11% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4101650, checked 2026-10-19).
With 71% detached houses and 6% in small multi-family buildings, a Aloha quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 33% of Aloha homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4101650, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Aloha has 14 points more detached houses than Washington County overall (57%) and 14 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 25% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US41067, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Aloha on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Energy Trust of Oregon heat pump incentives, run by Energy Trust of Oregon, is a live program for Oregon addresses and covers qualifying equipment at $1,000 per system (registry row 15 verified 2026-10-15, https://www.energytrust.org/incentives/residential-cooling-solutions/, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Aloha address before counting it. With 37% of Aloha homes already on electric heat and 61% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Median household income in Aloha is $101,934 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4101650, 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: 24F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Washington County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 100 to 102 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 24F figure is the Washington County cold-day number a Aloha heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 24F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 59% of Aloha on gas and 37% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Aloha home has 5.5 rooms and was built around 1984, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
