Jackson / Terry
Terry is about 15 miles from the Census center point for Jackson in a straight line and covers 3.813 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).
Terry has 1,620 residents (give or take 692) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2872680, checked 2026-10-19), about 425 people per square mile.
Of the 552 occupied homes in Terry, 70% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 24% with electricity and 6% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2872680, checked 2026-10-19).
Terry has about the Hinds County oil share of 0% and 28 points less electric heat than the county's 52% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US28049, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 70% of Terry against electricity at 24%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
The median Terry home was built in 1998 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2872680, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2872680, checked 2026-10-19).
Terry has 594 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 30% before 1980, with 46% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2872680, checked 2026-10-19).
Terry has 29 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=050XX00US28049, checked 2026-10-19).
46% of Terry housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2872680, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.
77% of Terry homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 2% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2872680, checked 2026-10-19).
With 77% detached houses and 1% in small multi-family buildings, a Terry quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 14% of Terry homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2872680, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Terry has 8 points more detached houses than Hinds County overall (69%) and 16 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 18% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US28049, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 14% of Terry homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2872680, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.
No electric utility is on file for Terry 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 Terry is $47,734 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2872680, 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. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Hinds 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 26F figure is the Hinds County cold-day number a Terry 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 whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 70% of Terry on gas and 24% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Terry home has 5.3 rooms and was built around 1998, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
