Property tax · $168/mo 0.52% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Weld County, CO
Insurance & upkeep · $416/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. Evans is a city in Weld County, Colorado, with a young population compared with much of the country. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though a sizable group rent. Household incomes run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than many would expect in a place with this much steady work. Winters are cold, with the coldest weather in December and a fair amount of snow, while July brings hot days. Precipitation is light overall, the dry side for a place with such a snowy season.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, the building trades, and professional and business services. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places. Among the largest workplaces in Evans are Sam's Club, Method Flow Products and CSL Behring. Unemployment across Weld County has edged up over the past year, though the county has added jobs. A fair number of people work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. The Big Thompson River runs in or beside town, and St. Vrain Creek and the Little Thompson River are a short drive away. Nottingham Field, a stadium, is also a short drive from town. For a longer outing, Boyd Lake State Park is a protected area 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 Evans’ 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 Weld County and the Greeley, CO metro.
