Jackson / Kosciusko
Kosciusko has 6,933 residents (give or take 18) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2838320, checked 2026-10-19), about 919 people per square mile.
Kosciusko is about 63 miles from the Census center point for Jackson in a straight line and covers 7.541 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 2,453 occupied homes in Kosciusko, 66% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 30% with electricity and 4% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2838320, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 66% of Kosciusko against electricity at 30%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Kosciusko has about the Attala County oil share of 0% and 14 points less electric heat than the county's 44% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US28007, checked 2026-10-19).
Kosciusko has 2,886 housing units, 8% built before 1940 and 62% before 1980, with 12% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2838320, checked 2026-10-19).
Kosciusko has 9 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 21% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US28007, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Kosciusko home was built in 1974 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2838320, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.7 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2838320, checked 2026-10-19).
84% of Kosciusko homes are single-family detached, 8% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 5% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2838320, checked 2026-10-19).
With 84% detached houses and 8% in small multi-family buildings, a Kosciusko quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 45% of Kosciusko homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2838320, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Kosciusko has 9 points more detached houses than Attala County overall (75%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US28007, checked 2026-10-19).
45% of Kosciusko homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2838320, 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.
62% of Kosciusko 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=160XX00US2838320, 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 Kosciusko 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 Kosciusko is $40,085 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2838320, 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: 25F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Attala 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 25F figure is the Attala County cold-day number a Kosciusko heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 25F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 66% of Kosciusko on gas and 30% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Kosciusko home has 5.7 rooms and was built around 1974, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
