Property tax · $642/mo 1.31% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Bucks County, PA
Insurance & upkeep · $630/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. Langhorne is a small borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with a population that stays well on the small side. Incomes run below the county's, and a somewhat larger share of households live below the poverty line than you might expect from the surrounding county. A majority of homes are lived in by their owners, though a good number of households rent. Winters are cold, with January highs and lows below freezing at night, summers turn warm to hot by July, and the year brings a fair amount of snow and a good deal of rain.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, other services, and professional and business services. A fair number of adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is a short-to-moderate drive, though some people work from home. Across Bucks County, larger workplaces include Sesame Place, the Central Bucks school district and Doylestown Hospital, and the county added jobs last year while unemployment eased compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. For a day out, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Franklin Institute are museums in Philadelphia, a longer drive away, as is Independence Hall, one of the best known historic sites in the country. Closer to home, the New Jersey State House is a short drive away. Sports fans can also make the longer drive to Citizens Bank Park or Lincoln Financial Field for a game.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Langhorne’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Bucks County and the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metro.
