Property tax · $299/mo 0.81% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Miami-Dade County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $475/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. Hialeah is a large city in Miami-Dade County, and its residents are older than in many American cities. Incomes run below the county's, and fewer homes are lived in by their owners than in much of the country, so renting is common. Winters are mild and summers hot, with plenty of rain through the year and snow not part of the picture.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in transport, warehouses and utilities, in the building trades and in shops. Among the largest workplaces in Hialeah are UPS, Larkin Community Hospital Palm Springs Campus and Amazon. Unemployment is a little lower than a year ago, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Sports fans have Hard Rock Stadium and LoanDepot Park, both stadiums a short drive away. The Pérez Art Museum Miami, also a short drive away, offers an indoor outing. For a day outdoors, Biscayne National Park is a longer drive away.
