Property tax · $195/mo 0.67% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Cobb County, GA
Insurance & upkeep · $374/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. Mableton is a city in Cobb County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and residents are neither especially young nor especially old. Incomes run below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are mild, with highs a little above freezing in January and almost no snow, while summers are warm and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops and in the building trades. Among the larger workplaces in Mableton are Plateau Excavation, Berkel & Company Contractors and Publix Super Markets. A typical commute is on the long side, and a good number of people work from home. Unemployment has eased a little over the past year, though Cobb County has fewer jobs than it did a year earlier.
Things to do. Truist Park, a stadium, and Six Flags Over Georgia, an amusement park, are each a short drive away. For a longer outing, the Georgia Aquarium and the High Museum of Art are a longer drive away in Atlanta.
