Property tax · $394/mo 1.52% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Montgomery County, TX
Insurance & upkeep · $333/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. Conroe is the county seat of Montgomery County, a city of a good many people with a fairly young population for a place of its size. Household incomes run below the county's overall, and homes cost a good deal less than in many larger metro areas, though renters make up a large part of the town's households. Winters are mild and short, summers are long and hot, and rain is plentiful through the year.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Conroe are Conroe ISD, Conroe Regional Medical Center and H-E-B. Job numbers across the county grew over the past year, and a fair number of residents work from home.
Things to do. Lake Conroe is a reservoir a short drive away, popular for time on the water. A longer drive brings you to Sam Houston National Forest, a protected area of woods and trails, and to Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, a theatre for concerts and shows.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Conroe’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Montgomery County and the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX metro.
