Portland / Roseburg
Roseburg has 23,778 residents (give or take 57) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4163650, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,208 people per square mile.
Roseburg is about 164 miles from the Census center point for Portland in a straight line and covers 10.769 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).
Of the 9,857 occupied homes in Roseburg, 41% heat with natural gas, 1% with heating oil, 55% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4163650, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 55% of Roseburg homes, ahead of gas at 41%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Roseburg has about the Douglas County oil share of 1% and 5 points less electric heat than the county's 60% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US41019, checked 2026-10-19).
Roseburg has 10,343 housing units, 15% built before 1940 and 66% before 1980, with 12% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4163650, checked 2026-10-19).
Roseburg has 7 points more pre-1940 homes than Douglas County as a whole (8%) and 8 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US41019, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Roseburg home was built in 1971 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4163650, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4163650, checked 2026-10-19).
61% of Roseburg homes are single-family detached, 12% 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=160XX00US4163650, checked 2026-10-19).
46% of Roseburg homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4163650, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 61% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Roseburg has 6 points fewer detached houses than Douglas County overall (67%) and 10 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 6% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US41019, checked 2026-10-19).
46% of Roseburg homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4163650, 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.
66% of Roseburg homes were built before 1980 and only 12% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4163650, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Roseburg 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 Roseburg address before counting it. With 55% of Roseburg homes already on electric heat and 43% 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 Roseburg is $53,918 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4163650, 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: 23F.

That 23F figure is the Douglas County cold-day number a Roseburg heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 23F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Roseburg home has 5.1 rooms and was built around 1971, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
