Jackson / Yazoo City
Yazoo City has 10,219 residents (give or take 18) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2881520, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,013 people per square mile.
Yazoo City is about 39 miles from the Census center point for Jackson in a straight line and covers 10.084 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 4,000 occupied homes in Yazoo City, 62% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 36% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2881520, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 62% of Yazoo City against electricity at 36%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.
Yazoo City has about the Yazoo County oil share of 0% and 4 points less electric heat than the county's 40% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US28163, checked 2026-10-19).
Yazoo City has 4,865 housing units, 9% built before 1940 and 53% before 1980, with 21% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2881520, checked 2026-10-19).
Yazoo City has 5 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 26% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US28163, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Yazoo City home was built in 1978 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2881520, 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=160XX00US2881520, checked 2026-10-19).
58% of Yazoo City homes are single-family detached, 21% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 12% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2881520, checked 2026-10-19).
67% of Yazoo City homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2881520, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 58% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Yazoo City has 5 points fewer detached houses than Yazoo County overall (63%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US28163, checked 2026-10-19).
With 67% of Yazoo City homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2881520, checked 2026-10-19), most heat pump quotes here are landlord-driven: the landlord signs the contract and picks the equipment, and the tenant sees the lower bill.
No electric utility is on file for Yazoo City 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 Yazoo City is $28,157 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2881520, 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 Yazoo County cold-day number a Yazoo City 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 62% of Yazoo City on gas and 36% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Yazoo City home has 5.1 rooms and was built around 1978, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
