Property tax · $336/mo 1.61% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Williamson County, TX
Insurance & upkeep · $268/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. Jarrell is a small Texas city in Williamson County, home to far fewer people than most towns its age would suggest. Households earn about what households do across the county, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Almost everyone who lives here owns their home, far more than across the county as a whole, and the population skews younger than much of the country. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, while summers get very hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, in manufacturing or in shops. Among the largest workplaces in Jarrell are Jarrell ISD, Al Clawson Disposal and Brookshire Brothers. Commutes are on the long side, which suits the many people who work outside town, and a modest share work from home. Unemployment across Williamson County has stayed steady from last year, and the county has added jobs.
Things to do. Close by, a short drive away, are Berry Springs Park, a protected area, and Gault, an archaeological site. For a longer drive, Lake Georgetown is a reservoir where people go to be on the water, and Inner Space Cavern is a tourist attraction. Baseball and soccer fans can make the longer drive to Dell Diamond or Q2 Stadium.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Jarrell’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Williamson County and the Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown, TX metro.
