Property tax · $247/mo 1.24% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Hunt County, TX
Insurance & upkeep · $255/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. Greenville is a small city and the main town of Hunt County, with a population on the younger side and a typical age lower than many places where older homeowners settle. Household incomes here run below the county's as a whole, and slightly more homes are lived in by their owners than rented. Winters are short and mild, with little or no snow, while summers are long and very hot, and rain falls through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops and professional and business services. The largest workplaces in town include Hunt Regional Medical Center, Greenville ISD and Walmart. A four-year degree is held by fewer adults than is typical across much of the country, and most people get to work by a commute of moderate length.
Things to do. In town, the Audie Murphy American Cotton Museum is a local history museum, and Majors Stadium is a place for games close to home. A short drive away, the Aviation Unmanned Vehicle Museum is another museum worth a visit. For time outdoors, Lake Tawakoni is a reservoir 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 Greenville’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.
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 Hunt County and the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metro.
