Portland / Cedar Mill
Cedar Mill has 19,471 residents (give or take 2,015) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4112150, checked 2026-10-19), about 5,849 people per square mile.
Cedar Mill is about 7 miles from the Census center point for Portland in a straight line and covers 3.329 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).
5,849 people per square mile puts Cedar Mill in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
Of the 6,758 occupied homes in Cedar Mill, 70% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 29% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4112150, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 70% of Cedar Mill against electricity at 29%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Cedar Mill has about the Washington County oil share of 1% and 17 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).
Cedar Mill has 6,833 housing units, 0% built before 1940 and 35% before 1980, with 34% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4112150, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Cedar Mill home was built in 1992 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4112150, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4112150, checked 2026-10-19).
75% of Cedar Mill homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 16% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4112150, checked 2026-10-19).
With 75% detached houses and 4% in small multi-family buildings, a Cedar Mill quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 23% of Cedar Mill homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4112150, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Cedar Mill has 18 points more detached houses than Washington County overall (57%) (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 Cedar Mill 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 Cedar Mill address before counting it. With 29% of Cedar Mill homes already on electric heat and 71% 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 Cedar Mill is $164,079 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4112150, 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.

That 24F figure is the Washington County cold-day number a Cedar Mill 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 70% of Cedar Mill on gas and 29% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Cedar Mill home has 7 rooms and was built around 1992, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
