Property tax · $296/mo 1.14% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Hennepin County, MN
Insurance & upkeep · $333/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. Robbinsdale is a small city in Hennepin County where most homes are lived in by their owners, with more owners than renters. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm in July, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, manufacturing, and banks, insurance and property. Some of the larger workplaces in town are The Villas at Robbinsdale, a skilled nursing facility, and the City of Robbinsdale itself. A typical commute is fairly short, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Target Field, a stadium where baseball is played, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art, a museum, are both a short drive away. Saint Anthony Falls, a waterfall on the Mississippi, is also a short drive away, as is Bde Maka Ska, a lake with paths around its shore.

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.
