Mont Belvieu has 19 points more five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 6% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US48071, checked 2026-10-19).

Median household income in Mont Belvieu is $132,781 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US4849068, 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 36F figure is the Chambers County cold-day number a Mont Belvieu heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 36F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Mont Belvieu home has 6.6 rooms and was built around 2014, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
