Property tax · $342/mo 1.08% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Saint Charles County, MO

Insurance & upkeep · $405/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. O Fallon is a suburban city in St. Charles County, home to a large population for the region. Households earn more than the county's typical household, and the share of people living below the poverty line is small. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a good many adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers turn hot.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, professional and business services, and banks, insurance and property. Among the largest workplaces in O Fallon are the Francis Howell R-III Schools, the Fort Zumwalt School District and Progress West Hospital. Unemployment is low and a little lower than a year ago, and a fair number of people work from home.

Things to do. A short drive away is the August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area, a protected area for time outdoors. A longer drive brings you into St. Louis, where the Saint Louis Zoo, the Saint Louis Art Museum and Forest Park are among the better-known places to spend a day. The Missouri Botanical Garden is also 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 O Fallon’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 St. Charles County and the St. Louis, MO-IL metro.
