Jackson / Clarksdale
Clarksdale has 14,231 residents (give or take 18) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2813820, checked 2026-10-19), about 757 people per square mile.
Clarksdale is about 131 miles from the Census center point for Jackson in a straight line and covers 18.793 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 5,873 occupied homes in Clarksdale, 65% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 33% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2813820, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 65% of Clarksdale against electricity at 33%, 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.
Clarksdale has about the Coahoma County oil share of 0% and 2 points less electric heat than the county's 35% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US28027, checked 2026-10-19).
Clarksdale has 7,082 housing units, 9% built before 1940 and 76% before 1980, with 12% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2813820, checked 2026-10-19).
Clarksdale has 3 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 15% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US28027, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Clarksdale home was built in 1964 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2813820, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2813820, checked 2026-10-19).
72% of Clarksdale homes are single-family detached, 14% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 10% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2813820, checked 2026-10-19).
With 72% detached houses and 14% in small multi-family buildings, a Clarksdale quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 54% of Clarksdale homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2813820, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
54% of Clarksdale homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2813820, 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.
76% of Clarksdale 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=160XX00US2813820, 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 Clarksdale 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 Clarksdale is $36,382 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2813820, 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: 19F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Coahoma County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 64 to 68 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 19F figure is the Coahoma County cold-day number a Clarksdale heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 19F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 65% of Clarksdale on gas and 33% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Clarksdale home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 1964, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
