Housing stock and heating fuel in Naples

The Naples city limits held 19,704 residents and 9,836 occupied homes in the Census Bureau's ACS 2024 5-year American Community Survey. Electricity heats 89% of occupied homes and utility gas 6%, so heat pumps and straight-cool AC with electric strips are the systems most homeowners here are replacing. Bottled gas or propane heats 3%.

31% of housing units are single-family detached houses and 82% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. Detached, owner-occupied houses are where most whole-system replacements happen, because the owner chooses the equipment and each house has its own system. Apartments and condos more often use packaged units, wall units or building-managed systems.

These are city-limits figures, not metro-wide, and every survey estimate has a margin of error that you can see on the Census Reporter profile linked above. For city-by-city guides across the state, see the Florida HVAC cost guides hub.
