Property tax · $148/mo 0.52% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Washington County, AR
Insurance & upkeep · $362/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. Springdale is a city in northwest Arkansas, in Washington County, and its residents are young for a place of its size, with a median age well below what is common across the country. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a four-year degree is less common among adults here than across the country. Owning and renting are both common here, and a good share of homes are lived in by renters.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in the building trades and in shops. Among the largest workplaces in Springdale are the Springdale School District, Tyson Poultry and Arconic. Unemployment has eased over the past year, and the typical commute is short, with only a small number of people working from home.
Things to do. The Shiloh Museum of Ozark History is in or beside town, and the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks and War Eagle Creek, a river, are a short drive away. For a longer drive, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is the best known place nearby. Winters here are cold, summers are hot, and rain and melted snow fall through the year.
