Portland / Keizer
Keizer has 39,082 residents (give or take 40) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4138500, checked 2026-10-19), about 5,439 people per square mile.
Keizer is about 41 miles from the Census center point for Portland in a straight line and covers 7.185 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 Keizer that is 97303 (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).
5,439 people per square mile puts Keizer in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
Of the 14,782 occupied homes in Keizer, 49% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 48% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4138500, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 49% of Keizer against electricity at 48%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Keizer has about the Marion County oil share of 1% and 3 points less electric heat than the county's 51% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US41047, checked 2026-10-19).
Keizer has 15,171 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 49% before 1980, with 22% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4138500, checked 2026-10-19).
Keizer has 7 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Marion County as a whole (8%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US41047, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Keizer home was built in 1981 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4138500, 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=160XX00US4138500, checked 2026-10-19).
64% of Keizer homes are single-family detached, 9% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 18% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4138500, checked 2026-10-19).
37% of Keizer homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4138500, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 64% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
No electric utility is on file for Keizer 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 Keizer address before counting it. With 48% of Keizer homes already on electric heat and 50% 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 Keizer is $84,813 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4138500, 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: 22F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Marion 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 22F figure is the Marion County cold-day number a Keizer heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 22F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 49% of Keizer on gas and 48% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Keizer home has 5.5 rooms and was built around 1981, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
