Kansas City / Oak Grove
Oak Grove is about 24 miles from the Census center point for Kansas City in a straight line and covers 6.411 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).
Oak Grove has 8,538 residents (give or take 42) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2953624, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,332 people per square mile.
Of the 3,132 occupied homes in Oak Grove, 59% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 41% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2953624, checked 2026-10-19).
Oak Grove has about the Jackson County oil share of 0% and 14 points more electric heat than the county's 27% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US29095, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 59% of Oak Grove against electricity at 41%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
The median Oak Grove home was built in 1987 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2953624, 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=160XX00US2953624, checked 2026-10-19).
Oak Grove has 3,202 housing units, 4% built before 1940 and 43% before 1980, with 32% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2953624, checked 2026-10-19).
Oak Grove has 15 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Jackson County as a whole (19%) and 15 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 17% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US29095, checked 2026-10-19).
71% of Oak Grove homes are single-family detached, 15% 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=160XX00US2953624, checked 2026-10-19).
With 71% detached houses and 15% in small multi-family buildings, a Oak Grove quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 40% of Oak Grove homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2953624, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Oak Grove has 5 points more detached houses than Jackson County overall (66%) and 16 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US29095, checked 2026-10-19).
40% of Oak Grove homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2953624, 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 Oak Grove on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Median household income in Oak Grove is $75,102 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2953624, 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.

That 5F figure is the Jackson County cold-day number a Oak Grove heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 5F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 59% of Oak Grove on gas and 41% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Oak Grove home has 5.4 rooms and was built around 1987, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
