Ellisville is about 77 miles from the Census center point for Jackson in a straight line and covers 10.44 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).
Ellisville is spread out at 433 people per square mile across 10.44 square miles of land, so a long refrigerant line run between the outdoor unit and the farthest indoor head is the sizing question an installer checks first.
Of the 1,356 occupied homes in Ellisville, 20% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 75% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2822020, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 75% of Ellisville homes, ahead of gas at 20%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Ellisville has about the Jones County oil share of 0% and 11 points more electric heat than the county's 64% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US28067, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Ellisville home was built in 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2822020, 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=160XX00US2822020, checked 2026-10-19).
75% of Ellisville homes are single-family detached, 5% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 7% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2822020, checked 2026-10-19).

With 45% of Ellisville homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2822020, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Ellisville has 6 points more detached houses than Jones County overall (69%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US28067, checked 2026-10-19).
45% of Ellisville homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2822020, 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 Ellisville 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 Ellisville is $32,100 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2822020, 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: 27F.

That 27F figure is the Jones County cold-day number a Ellisville heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 27F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Ellisville home has 5.1 rooms and was built around 1980, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
