Property tax · $605/mo 1.65% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Tarrant County, TX
Insurance & upkeep · $472/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. Mansfield is a sizable city in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with a population that is on the younger side and households that earn well above the Tarrant County typical. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than you might expect for a city of this size. Many adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are mild while summers are long and hot, with rain spread through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Among the largest workplaces in Mansfield are Mansfield ISD, Methodist Mansfield Medical Center and H-E-B. Commutes run a little longer than many people are used to, and a good number of residents work from home.
Things to do. The better-known places nearby are a longer drive away. AT&T Stadium is a big stadium for football and large events, and Globe Life Field is a baseball stadium. For museums, the Dallas Museum of Art is a well-known art museum, and Six Flags Over Texas is an amusement park for a full day out.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Mansfield’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. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Tarrant County and the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metro.
