Property tax · $160/mo 0.77% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Volusia County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $269/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. Daytona Beach is a city on Florida's Atlantic coast, in Volusia County. Residents are somewhat older than in many places, and fewer people own their homes than rent them, so the town has more renters than owners. Incomes run below the county's, and more households than in many places live below the poverty line. Winters are mild, with cool nights and daytime highs that stay comfortable, while summers are hot and the year brings a good deal of rain.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in town are AdventHealth Daytona Beach, Daytona State College and NASCAR Enterprises. Unemployment has crept up a little over the past year, and across Volusia County the number of jobs has barely changed. A typical commute is fairly short, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. Daytona International Speedway, a race track, sits in or beside town, as does the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, a museum. A short drive away are the Museum of Arts and Sciences and the Daytona Beach Boardwalk, an amusement park. Anyone interested in racing history can also look to the Daytona Beach Road Course, a longer drive away.
