Camden / Woodbury
Woodbury has 10,042 residents (give or take 25) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3482120, checked 2026-10-19), about 4,971 people per square mile.
Woodbury is about 7 miles from the Census center point for Camden in a straight line and covers 2.02 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).
4,971 people per square mile puts Woodbury in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.
Of the 4,206 occupied homes in Woodbury, 71% heat with natural gas, 12% with heating oil, 13% with electricity and 0% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3482120, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 71% of Woodbury against electricity at 13%, 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.
Woodbury has 4 points more oil heat than Gloucester County as a whole, where 8% of homes burn oil, and 2 points more electric heat than the county's 11% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US34015, checked 2026-10-19).
Woodbury has 4,718 housing units, 35% built before 1940 and 88% before 1980, with 4% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3482120, checked 2026-10-19).
Woodbury has 25 points more pre-1940 homes than Gloucester County as a whole (10%) and 19 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 23% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US34015, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Woodbury home was built in 1948 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3482120, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.9 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3482120, checked 2026-10-19).
65% of Woodbury homes are single-family detached, 13% 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=160XX00US3482120, checked 2026-10-19).
35% of Woodbury homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3482120, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 65% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Woodbury has 8 points fewer detached houses than Gloucester County overall (73%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US34015, checked 2026-10-19).
35% of Woodbury homes were built before 1940 and 88% before 1980 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3482120, checked 2026-10-19), so insulation is the first sizing question: an older home leaks more heat per square foot, and the installer runs a room-by-room heat-loss calculation to size the system for what the walls and windows actually hold in, not just the floor plan.
No electric utility is on file for Woodbury 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 Woodbury is $77,028 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US3482120, 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), Gloucester County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 81 to 82 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 Gloucester County cold-day number a Woodbury 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 71% of Woodbury on gas and 13% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; a Woodbury house from before 1940 (35% of the 4,718 units) rarely matches a square-footage rule of thumb.
