Omaha / Hickman
Hickman has 3,004 residents (give or take 27) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3122325, checked 2026-10-19), about 2,719 people per square mile.
Hickman is about 53 miles from the Census center point for Omaha in a straight line and covers 1.105 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 1,054 occupied homes in Hickman, 60% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 34% with electricity and 4% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3122325, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 60% of Hickman against electricity at 34%, 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.
Hickman has about the Lancaster County oil share of 0% and 2 points less electric heat than the county's 36% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US31109, checked 2026-10-19).
Hickman has 1,084 housing units, 7% built before 1940 and 27% before 1980, with 57% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3122325, checked 2026-10-19).
Hickman has 5 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Lancaster County as a whole (12%) and 28 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 29% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US31109, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Hickman home was built in 2003 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3122325, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3122325, checked 2026-10-19).
85% of Hickman homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 6% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3122325, checked 2026-10-19).
With 85% detached houses and 1% in small multi-family buildings, a Hickman quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 12% of Hickman homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3122325, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Hickman has 26 points more detached houses than Lancaster County overall (59%) and 20 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 26% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US31109, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 12% of Hickman homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3122325, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.
57% of Hickman housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3122325, 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.
No electric utility is on file for Hickman 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 Hickman is $104,375 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3122325, 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.

That 0F figure is the Lancaster County cold-day number a Hickman heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 0F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 60% of Hickman on gas and 34% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Hickman home has 6.9 rooms and was built around 2003, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
