Property tax · $175/mo 0.73% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Pasco County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $306/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. Hudson is a Gulf Coast community in Pasco County where residents are older than in most of the country, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run below the county's, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places. Winters are mild and summers are hot.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, and in professional and business services. HCA Florida Bayonet Point Hospital is among the largest workplaces in Hudson, along with IES Residential, a plumbing and heating contractor. Commutes are long, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Close by, Sims Park is a place to spend an afternoon outdoors, and the Pithlachascotee River and Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park are both a short drive away. Weeki Wachee Springs is a longer drive.

Natural hazards
- HurricanesRelatively high
- TornadoesRelatively high
- LightningRelatively moderate
- Inland floodingRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Hudson’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 Pasco County and the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL metro.
