Portland / Newberg
Newberg has 26,066 residents (give or take 37) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4152100, checked 2026-10-19), about 4,359 people per square mile.
Newberg is about 22 miles from the Census center point for Portland in a straight line and covers 5.98 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).
4,359 people per square mile puts Newberg in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
Of the 9,747 occupied homes in Newberg, 37% heat with natural gas, 1% 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=160XX00US4152100, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 59% of Newberg homes, ahead of gas at 37%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Newberg has about the Yamhill County oil share of 1% and 7 points less electric heat than the county's 66% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US41071, checked 2026-10-19).
Newberg has 10,226 housing units, 5% built before 1940 and 36% before 1980, with 35% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4152100, checked 2026-10-19).
Newberg has 3 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Yamhill County as a whole (8%) and 5 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 30% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US41071, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Newberg home was built in 1991 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4152100, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4152100, checked 2026-10-19).
59% of Newberg homes are single-family detached, 7% 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=160XX00US4152100, checked 2026-10-19).
41% of Newberg homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4152100, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 59% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Newberg has 9 points fewer detached houses than Yamhill County overall (68%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US41071, checked 2026-10-19).
41% of Newberg homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4152100, 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 Newberg 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 Newberg address before counting it. With 59% of Newberg homes already on electric heat and 39% 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 Newberg is $93,232 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4152100, 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 Yamhill County cold-day number a Newberg 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 for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Newberg home has 5.3 rooms and was built around 1991, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
