Property tax · $339/mo 0.52% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Ada County, ID
Insurance & upkeep · $841/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 city in Ada County where residents tend to be older than in most places, and incomes run well above the county's. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical home value sits at the higher end, with rents to match. Winters are cold and a little snowy, and summers turn hot, while the year stays fairly dry.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in banks, insurance and property, and in the building trades. A large share of adults hold a four-year degree, and a good number work from home. Among the biggest workplaces in town are Fred Meyer Stores, Granite Excavation, and PetIQ.
Things to do. Firebird Raceway, a race track, is in or beside town. Eagle Island State Park, a protected area, and Arboretum Park, a botanical garden, are each a short drive away. For skiing, Bogus Basin is a longer drive away.

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, 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 Ada County and the Boise City, ID metro.
