Cincinnati / Xenia
Xenia has 25,689 residents (give or take 50) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3986772, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,967 people per square mile.
Xenia is about 48 miles from the Census center point for Cincinnati in a straight line and covers 13.062 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 10,765 occupied homes in Xenia, 73% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 25% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3986772, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 73% of Xenia against electricity at 25%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Xenia has about the Greene County oil share of 1% and 7 points less electric heat than the county's 32% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US39057, checked 2026-10-19).
Xenia has 11,820 housing units, 16% built before 1940 and 71% before 1980, with 16% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3986772, checked 2026-10-19).
Xenia has 7 points more pre-1940 homes than Greene County as a whole (9%) and 6 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 22% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US39057, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Xenia home was built in 1971 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3986772, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3986772, checked 2026-10-19).
76% of Xenia homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 17% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3986772, checked 2026-10-19).
With 76% detached houses and 4% in small multi-family buildings, a Xenia quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 39% of Xenia homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3986772, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
71% of Xenia homes were built before 1980 and only 16% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3986772, 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 Xenia 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 Xenia is $56,029 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3986772, 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: 3F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Greene 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 3F figure is the Greene County cold-day number a Xenia heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 3F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 73% of Xenia on gas and 25% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Xenia home has 5.5 rooms and was built around 1971, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
