St. Louis / Fulton
Fulton has 12,617 residents (give or take 27) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2926182, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,023 people per square mile.
Fulton is about 93 miles from the Census center point for St. Louis in a straight line and covers 12.333 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 3,978 occupied homes in Fulton, 47% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 49% with electricity and 4% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2926182, checked 2026-10-19).
Electricity already heats 49% of Fulton homes, ahead of gas at 47%, and a home on electric baseboard sees the biggest bill change from a heat pump because it replaces resistance heat one for one.
Fulton has about the Callaway County oil share of 0% and 5 points less electric heat than the county's 54% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US29027, checked 2026-10-19).
Fulton has 4,450 housing units, 17% built before 1940 and 67% before 1980, with 19% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2926182, checked 2026-10-19).
Fulton has 7 points more pre-1940 homes than Callaway County as a whole (10%) and 11 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 30% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US29027, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Fulton home was built in 1969 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2926182, 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=160XX00US2926182, checked 2026-10-19).
61% of Fulton homes are single-family detached, 24% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 9% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2926182, checked 2026-10-19).
52% of Fulton homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2926182, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 61% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Fulton has 12 points fewer detached houses than Callaway County overall (73%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US29027, checked 2026-10-19).
52% of Fulton homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2926182, checked 2026-10-19), so the market splits between resident-led jobs where the occupant picks the system and landlord-led jobs where they do not, and the rebate paperwork differs.
67% of Fulton homes were built before 1980 and only 19% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2926182, 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 Fulton 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 Fulton is $51,429 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2926182, 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: 4F.

That 4F figure is the Callaway County cold-day number a Fulton heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 4F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Fulton home has 5.3 rooms and was built around 1969, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
