Property tax · $145/mo 0.81% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Miami-Dade County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $231/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.

The place. Ojus is a community in Miami-Dade County where the typical resident is in middle age, and incomes run a little below the county's.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, shops, and banks, insurance and property. Among the biggest workplaces in Ojus are Regents Park at Aventura, a nursing home, and Publix Super Markets, a grocery chain. Commutes are fairly long, and relatively few people work from home.
