Portland / Wood Village
Wood Village has 4,696 residents (give or take 17) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4183950, checked 2026-10-19), about 4,985 people per square mile.
Wood Village is about 11 miles from the Census center point for Portland in a straight line and covers 0.942 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 Wood Village is $85,413 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4183950, 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.
4,985 people per square mile puts Wood Village in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
49% of Wood Village homes are single-family detached, 9% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 4% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4183950, checked 2026-10-19).
39% of Wood Village homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4183950, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 49% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Wood Village has 28 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 32% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US41051, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 1,605 occupied homes in Wood Village, 40% heat with natural gas, 1% 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=160XX00US4183950, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 49% of Wood Village homes, ahead of gas at 40%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Wood Village has about the Multnomah County oil share of 2% and the same 49% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US41051, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Wood Village 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 Wood Village address before counting it. With 49% of Wood Village homes already on electric heat and 41% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Wood Village has 1,605 housing units, 5% built before 1940 and 56% before 1980, with 14% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4183950, checked 2026-10-19).
Wood Village has 18 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Multnomah County as a whole (23%) and 9 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 23% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US41051, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Wood Village home was built in 1978 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4183950, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.4 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4183950, checked 2026-10-19).

That 24F figure is the Multnomah County cold-day number a Wood Village 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 Wood Village home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1978, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
