Property tax · $347/mo 1.24% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Johnson County, TX
Insurance & upkeep · $359/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. Burleson is a city in Johnson County, on the southern side of the Fort Worth area. Residents are younger than in much of the country, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run above the county's, and a smaller share of people live below the poverty line than in many places.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in Burleson are Burleson ISD, H-E-B and Champion Home Builders. The commute to work is fairly long, and only a small number of people work from home.
Things to do. The museums of Fort Worth are a longer drive away, including the Amon Carter Museum of American Art and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The Fort Worth Zoo is also a longer drive away, as is Six Flags Over Texas, an amusement park. Winters are mild with little or no snow, and summers are hot, so outings are easy to plan for most of the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Burleson’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 Johnson County and the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metro.
