Property tax · $216/mo 0.77% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Volusia County, FL
Insurance & upkeep · $363/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. Port Orange is a city on Florida's east coast in Volusia County, with a population that skews older than much of the country. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little above the county's. Winters are mild and summers are hot, with a good deal of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the larger workplaces in town are US Foods, Walmart and Publix Super Markets. Job growth across Volusia County has been close to flat lately, and the commute is a moderate one for many who work outside the home.
Things to do. In or beside town, Dunlawton Plantation and Sugar Mill is a botanical garden, and the Spruce Creek Mound Complex is an archaeological site. A short drive away are Daytona International Speedway, a race track, and the Museum of Arts and Sciences, a museum. The Halifax River is also a short drive away for time near the water.
