Property tax · $241/mo 0.74% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Yuba County, CA
Insurance & upkeep · $415/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. Marysville is a small city in Yuba County, with a younger population than many American towns. Household incomes here run well below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than most would expect. Most homes are rented rather than lived in by their owners, and few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, professional and business services, and manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Marysville are Adventist Health and Rideout, a general hospital, and the Marysville Joint Unified school district. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly, and a few people work from home.
Things to do. Ellis Lake, a reservoir, sits in or beside town, as does the Yuba River, and the Community Memorial Museum of Sutter County is close by as well. For a longer drive, Lake Oroville is a reservoir and the Feather River another river worth the trip. Winters are mild and cool, while summers turn very hot, so the water is most welcome in July.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Marysville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Yuba County and the Yuba City, CA metro.
