Property tax · $130/mo 0.51% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Greenville County, SC
Insurance & upkeep · $330/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. Taylors is a community in Greenville County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes sit close to the county's. Many adults here hold a four-year degree, and the population is neither especially young nor especially old. Winters are mild and brief by national standards, summers are hot, and rain and a little melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. Among the largest workplaces in Taylors are the Eastside Family YMCA, the paperboard maker Greif, and Strange Bros Grading Co. Commutes are of a moderate length, and a fair number of people work from home.
