Property tax · $121/mo 0.64% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Bryan County, OK
Insurance & upkeep · $244/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. Durant is a city in Bryan County, in southeastern Oklahoma. It is a young place for its size, with a median age well below what older homeowners may be used to, and incomes that run below the county's. Fewer homes are lived in by their owners than you might expect, so renting is common, and winters are mild and short on snow while summers get hot.
Work. Many residents work in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Durant are Southeastern Oklahoma State University, Durant Schools and WebstaurantStore. Commutes are short, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. Three Valley Museum is in or beside town, and Fort McCulloch, a fort, is a short drive away. For a longer drive, Lake Texoma is a large reservoir, and Eisenhower State Park is a protected area where people go to be outdoors.
