Property tax · $175/mo 0.50% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Bonneville County, ID
Insurance & upkeep · $446/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Ammon is a city in eastern Idaho, in Bonneville County, with a young population: its residents are noticeably younger than the national average. Households here earn more than the county as a whole, and few people live below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm in July, and the year is fairly dry overall.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, shops and the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in Ammon are Target, Life Care Center Idaho Falls and Albertsons. Unemployment across Bonneville County is slightly higher than a year ago, though the county has added jobs over the past year. A typical commute is a short one, and some people work from home.
Things to do. Tautphaus Park and the Museum of Idaho are both a short drive away, and the Colonial Theatre is close by too for an evening out. For a longer outing, Kelly Canyon is a ski area a longer drive away, and the Henrys Fork river is also a longer drive from town.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Ammon’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Bonneville County and the Idaho Falls, ID metro.
