Property tax · $178/mo 0.52% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Weld County, CO
Insurance & upkeep · $443/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. Greeley is a city with a young population, with a median age well below that of much of the country. Incomes run below the county's, and more households here fall under the poverty line than you might expect from the county as a whole, while most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold and snowy, with December the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July, with only modest rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in Greeley are JBS Greeley Fed Beef, Leprino Foods and UCHealth Greeley Hospital. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, the typical commute is a modest one, and the number of jobs across Weld County grew last year.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Big Thompson River is a short drive away, and Boyd Lake State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive. Horsetooth Reservoir is also a longer drive from town. Nottingham Field, a stadium, is a short drive away for a game closer to home.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Greeley’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 Weld County and the Greeley, CO metro.
