Property tax · $124/mo 0.51% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Greenville County, SC
Insurance & upkeep · $316/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. Mauldin is a city in Greenville County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and where household incomes run above the county's. Residents tend to be middle-aged, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cool and fairly mild, with the coldest days in January, while summers are warm, and rain and the occasional snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops. Charter Communications, Newbold Services and Dodge Industrial are among the largest workplaces in Mauldin itself. The typical commute is a moderate one, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, Reedy River Falls Historic Park and Greenway is a waterfall with a greenway along the river, and Greenville Zoo is close by as well. For something quieter, Conestee Nature Preserve is a protected area a short drive off. Paris Mountain State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Mauldin’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 Greenville County and the Greenville-Anderson, SC metro.
