Property tax · $445/mo 1.58% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Collin County, TX
Insurance & upkeep · $361/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. Anna is a city in Collin County, Texas, and a young one by most measures: its residents are younger than in many American towns, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and rents and home values sit well within what you would expect for the northern Dallas area. Winters are mild and brief, with chilly mornings in January, and summers turn properly hot by August.
Work. People who live in Anna work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in banks, insurance and property. Within the town, Brookshire's, the grocery chain, and BURNCO, a concrete batch plant, are among the biggest workplaces. Commutes are fairly long, and a good number of residents work from home instead.
Things to do. Most of what draws people out of town is a longer drive away. Lavon Lake is a reservoir for time on the water, and the Northeast Texas Trail is a long trail for walking or cycling. For a rainy day, the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary is a museum with a wildlife sanctuary attached, and Southfork Ranch is a museum that many people know from television.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Anna’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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.
