North Canton in Stark County

North Canton has 17,727 residents (give or take 29) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3956294, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,770 people per square mile.

North Canton is about 204 miles from the Census center point for Cincinnati in a straight line and covers 6.399 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).

Fuel mix

Of the 8,499 occupied homes in North Canton, 79% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 20% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3956294, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 79% of North Canton against electricity at 20%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas boiler stays for the deepest cold, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.

North Canton has 3 points less oil heat than Stark County as a whole, where 3% of homes burn oil, and 4 points more electric heat than the county's 16% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US39151, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

North Canton has 8,702 housing units, 8% built before 1940 and 60% before 1980, with 9% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3956294, checked 2026-10-19).

The median North Canton home was built in 1971 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3956294, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3956294, checked 2026-10-19).

65% of North Canton homes are single-family detached, 10% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 20% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3956294, checked 2026-10-19).

31% of North Canton homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3956294, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 65% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for North Canton on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 6F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Stark County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 94 to 97 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 6F figure is the Stark County cold-day number a North Canton heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 6F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 79% of North Canton on gas and 20% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median North Canton home has 6.1 rooms and was built around 1971, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
