Property tax · $345/mo 1.25% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Clermont County, OH
Insurance & upkeep · $354/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. Batavia is a small village and the seat of Clermont County, a quiet place where most households are owner-occupied and a good many homes are rented too. Incomes here run well below the county's, and the typical home value and rent sit at a level that reflects the wider Cincinnati area. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employing many. Batavia Local Schools, the Veterans Health Administration and AAG Glass are among the largest workplaces in the village. Commutes are fairly long, and a modest share of people work from home; across Clermont County, unemployment has eased over the past year and the number of jobs has grown slightly.
Things to do. The Tri-State Warbird Museum is in or beside town and is the closest stop for a visit. A longer drive brings the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, the Cincinnati Art Museum, and the amusement park Kings Island. Those who follow sports can head to Great American Ball Park, a stadium that is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Batavia’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
