Property tax · $62/mo 0.36% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Coffee County, AL
Insurance & upkeep · $221/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. Enterprise is a city in Coffee County, Alabama, and a fairly young one by the look of its residents, whose typical age is lower than in many American towns. Household incomes run above the county's, and more homes are lived in by their owners than rented. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, summers are hot, and the rain falls steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by transport, warehouses and utilities, then shops, restaurants and hotels. Among the largest workplaces in Enterprise are Enterprise City Schools, Medical Center Enterprise and Publix Super Markets. Unemployment is low and has edged down over the past year, the county has added jobs, and the typical commute is a short one.
Things to do. The United States Army Aviation Museum is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Frank Jackson State Park is a protected area, and the Choctawhatchee River offers a river setting. The Wiregrass Museum of Art, also a longer drive away, is another option for a day trip.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Enterprise’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
