Yep. In New England [1] roughly 2,000,000 households heat via "heating oil" or kerosene (which is more expensive). There are slightly more folks that heat with natural gas, but this is a rural vs suburban divide and New England is quite rural overall.
Heat pumps are in vogue now but usually they are supplemented with fireplaces, wood stoves or pellet stoves.
