Property tax · $226/mo 0.76% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Osceola County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $381/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. Kissimmee is a city in Osceola County where more households rent than own their homes. Incomes here run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than a typical household might expect. Winters are mild, with pleasantly warm January days and cool nights, while summers are hot and the year brings a fair amount of rain but little or no snow.
Work. Many residents work in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, with schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, and shops also employing a lot of people. Among the largest workplaces in Kissimmee are AdventHealth Kissimmee, Osceola Regional Medical Center and Walmart. Commutes tend to be on the long side, and unemployment has crept up a little over the past year.
Things to do. Kissimmee sits close to some of the best known theme parks in the country. Walt Disney World Resort and SeaWorld Orlando, an aquarium and marine park, are both a short drive away. Universal Studios Florida, an amusement park, is a longer drive away.
