Property tax · $890/mo 1.65% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Tarrant County, TX
Insurance & upkeep · $694/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. Keller is a suburban city in Tarrant County where most homes are lived in by their owners, well above the share across the county. Household incomes run far higher than the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. The population skews older than many places, and most adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mainly in professional and business services, in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, and in banks, insurance and property. Some of the largest workplaces in Keller are Keller ISD, Keller Oaks Healthcare Center and Randalls Food & Drugs. Many people commute, and a good number work from home.
Things to do. Texas Motor Speedway, a race track, is a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Six Flags Over Texas, an amusement park, and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth. Winters are mild and summers are hot, with moderate rain through the year.

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