Property tax · $387/mo 1.40% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Parker County, TX
Insurance & upkeep · $356/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. Azle is a city in Parker County, northwest of Fort Worth, and most homes there are lived in by their owners. Incomes run well below the county's as a whole, and typical home values and rents sit in the middle of the range for the Fort Worth area. Winters are mild and short, while summers are long and hot, with a fair amount of rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades and in manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Azle are Azle ISD, Walmart and the Texas Health Harris Methodist hospital. Commutes tend to be long, which fits a town where many people travel toward Fort Worth for work, though a good number work from home.
Things to do. Eagle Mountain Lake, a reservoir in or beside town, is the nearest place to spend time outdoors. Fort Worth's cultural side is a longer drive away, including the Amon Carter Museum of American Art and the Fort Worth Zoo. Sports and entertainment fans can also make the longer drive to AT&T Stadium.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Azle’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.
