St. Louis / Neosho
Neosho has 13,224 residents (give or take 25) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US2951572, checked 2026-10-19), about 848 people per square mile.
Neosho is about 257 miles from the Census center point for St. Louis in a straight line and covers 15.598 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 4,699 occupied homes in Neosho, 50% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 47% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US2951572, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 50% of Neosho against electricity at 47%, 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.
Neosho has about the Newton County oil share of 0% and 3 points less electric heat than the county's 50% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US29145, checked 2026-10-19).
Neosho has 5,239 housing units, 12% built before 1940 and 64% before 1980, with 22% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2951572, checked 2026-10-19).
Neosho has 3 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 25% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US29145, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Neosho home was built in 1973 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US2951572, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US2951572, checked 2026-10-19).
77% of Neosho homes are single-family detached, 8% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 10% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US2951572, checked 2026-10-19).
With 77% detached houses and 8% in small multi-family buildings, a Neosho quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 39% of Neosho homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US2951572, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
64% of Neosho homes were built before 1980 and only 22% in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US2951572, 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 Neosho 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 Neosho is $57,891 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US2951572, 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), Newton County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 68 to 73 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 Newton County cold-day number a Neosho 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 50% of Neosho on gas and 47% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Neosho home has 5.6 rooms and was built around 1973, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
