Property tax · $352/mo 0.42% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Eagle County, CO
Insurance & upkeep · $1,082/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. Eagle is a small mountain town in Eagle County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little above the county's. Homes here are expensive, and renting is not cheap either. A large share of adults have a four-year degree, and the typical drive to work is fairly short. Winters are cold, with December the coldest month and nights well below freezing, while July is pleasantly warm.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in the building trades, or in government. Among the largest workplaces in Eagle are the Eagle County school district, King Soopers and Cassia, a continuing care retirement community. Unemployment across Eagle County is somewhat higher than a year ago, and the number of jobs in the county has grown only slightly.
Things to do. White River National Forest, a protected area, and Sylvan Lake State Park are both a short drive away, with open country to walk and explore. Farther afield, Beaver Creek Resort and Vail Ski Resort offer skiing, and the Eagle River is a longer drive away for time by the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Eagle’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very high. 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 Eagle County and the Edwards, CO metro.
