Property tax · $213/mo 0.94% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Broward County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $291/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. Deerfield Beach is a coastal city in Broward County, and its residents are older on the whole than people in much of the country. Incomes run below the county's, and most homes are lived in by their owners, though a good number of households rent. Winters are mild, with January days that stay warm and nights that stay well above freezing, and summers are hot and wet.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, or in restaurants, hotels and shops. Among the largest workplaces in the city are Broward Health North, Vitas Healthcare and Publix Supermarkets, which runs a refrigerated warehouse here. Commutes are fairly long, and some people work from home.
Things to do. The Deerfield Beach Arboretum, a botanical garden, is in or beside town. A short drive away are Butterfly World, a zoo devoted to butterflies, and the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, which combine a museum with a botanical garden. The Boca Raton Museum of Art is also a short drive away.
