Property tax · $923/mo 1.61% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Bergen County, NJ
Insurance & upkeep · $739/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. Teaneck is a township in Bergen County, New Jersey, with households that earn more than the county's typical household and fewer residents living below the poverty line than many places. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a majority of adults hold a four-year degree. Typical home values and rents are high, and the population is of middle age, neither notably young nor old.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, shops, and banks, insurance and property. Within the township itself, Holy Name Hospital, Fairleigh Dickinson University-Metropolitan Campus and the Teaneck School District are among the largest workplaces. Commutes are fairly long, and a good number of people work from home. Across Bergen County, jobs slipped slightly last year and unemployment has eased compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History are both museums a short drive away, and Central Park, a garden, is a short drive away too. The Statue of Liberty, a tourist attraction, is a longer drive. Winters are cold and the summers warm, with a good deal of rain and melted snow across the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Bergen County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Bergen County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
