Portland / Raleigh Hills
Raleigh Hills has 6,744 residents (give or take 938) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4160900, checked 2026-10-19), about 4,443 people per square mile.
Raleigh Hills is about 6 miles from the Census center point for Portland in a straight line and covers 1.518 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).
Median household income in Raleigh Hills is $120,000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4160900, 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.
4,443 people per square mile puts Raleigh Hills in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
49% of Raleigh Hills homes are single-family detached, 8% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 41% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4160900, checked 2026-10-19).
With 41% of Raleigh Hills homes in buildings of five or more units and 49% detached, the condo association usually decides where outdoor units can go, so that approval comes before the quote. With 47% of Raleigh Hills homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4160900, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Raleigh Hills has 8 points fewer detached houses than Washington County overall (57%) and 16 points more 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).
47% of Raleigh Hills homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4160900, 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.
Of the 3,228 occupied homes in Raleigh Hills, 50% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 49% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4160900, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 50% of Raleigh Hills against electricity at 49%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Raleigh Hills has about the Washington County oil share of 1% and 3 points more 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).
No electric utility is on file for Raleigh Hills 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 Raleigh Hills address before counting it. With 49% of Raleigh Hills 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.
Raleigh Hills has 3,292 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 78% before 1980, with 6% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4160900, checked 2026-10-19).
Raleigh Hills has 25 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 Raleigh Hills home was built in 1967 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4160900, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 4.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4160900, checked 2026-10-19).
78% of Raleigh Hills homes were built before 1980 and only 6% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4160900, checked 2026-10-19), so most of the stock predates modern insulation codes; the installer's heat-loss calculation, not a square-footage rule, decides the tonnage.
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 Raleigh Hills 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 50% of Raleigh Hills on gas and 49% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Raleigh Hills home has 4.9 rooms and was built around 1967, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
