Property tax · $291/mo 0.86% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Palm Beach County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $433/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. Boynton Beach is a city in Palm Beach County, home to a good many people at a middle age that runs a little older than younger. Household incomes here sit below the county's, and a fair number of residents live below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though the city has more renters than many homeowner-heavy towns, and a fair share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, with shops close behind. Among the largest workplaces in the city are Bethesda Hospital, Publix Supermarkets and Vitas Healthcare. A typical commute is a moderate one, and some residents work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens is a botanical garden, and Wakodahatchee Wetlands is a protected area for walking and watching wildlife. The American Orchid Society Visitors Center and Botanical Garden is also a short drive away. For art, the Norton Museum of Art is a longer drive away.
