Salt Lake City / Draper
Draper is about 20 miles from the Census center point for Salt Lake City in a straight line and covers 28.348 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).
Draper has 50,278 residents (give or take 45) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US4920120, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,774 people per square mile.
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Draper that is 84020 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 16,981 occupied homes in Draper, 80% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 18% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US4920120, checked 2026-10-19).
Draper has about the Salt Lake County oil share of 0% and 2 points more electric heat than the county's 16% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US49035, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 80% of Draper against electricity at 18%, 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.
The median Draper home was built in 2003 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US4920120, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 7.3 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US4920120, checked 2026-10-19).
Draper has 17,448 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 5% before 1980, with 62% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4920120, checked 2026-10-19).
Draper has 6 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Salt Lake County as a whole (7%) and 30 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 32% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US49035, checked 2026-10-19).
62% of Draper housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US4920120, 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.
62% of Draper homes are single-family detached, 4% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 18% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US4920120, checked 2026-10-19).
31% of Draper homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US4920120, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 62% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
No electric utility is on file for Draper 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 Draper is $128,910 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4920120, 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: 11F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Salt Lake County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 125 to 127 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 11F figure is the Salt Lake County cold-day number a Draper heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 11F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 80% of Draper on gas and 18% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Draper home has 7.3 rooms and was built around 2003, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
