Jackson / Magee
Magee has 3,943 residents (give or take 32) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2844600, checked 2026-10-19), about 750 people per square mile.
Magee is about 41 miles from the Census center point for Jackson in a straight line and covers 5.259 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 1,264 occupied homes in Magee, 28% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 72% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2844600, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 72% of Magee homes, ahead of gas at 28%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Magee has about the Simpson County oil share of 0% and 9 points more electric heat than the county's 63% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US28127, checked 2026-10-19).
Magee has 1,452 housing units, 7% built before 1940 and 59% before 1980, with 15% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2844600, checked 2026-10-19).
Magee has 3 points more pre-1940 homes than Simpson County as a whole (4%) and 15 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 30% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US28127, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Magee home was built in 1976 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2844600, 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=160XX00US2844600, checked 2026-10-19).
60% of Magee homes are single-family detached, 10% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 13% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2844600, checked 2026-10-19).
49% of Magee homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2844600, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 60% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Magee has 10 points fewer detached houses than Simpson County overall (70%) and 11 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 2% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US28127, checked 2026-10-19).
49% of Magee homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2844600, 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 Magee 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 Magee is $44,488 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2844600, 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: 26F.

That 26F figure is the Simpson County cold-day number a Magee heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 26F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Magee home has 5.1 rooms and was built around 1976, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
