Property tax · $270/mo 0.67% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Cobb County, GA
Insurance & upkeep · $519/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. Vinings is a community in Cobb County, Georgia, with a younger population than many towns and a lot of renters. Far more homes are rented than across the county, and typical homes cost a good deal, so many people live here without owning. Household incomes are somewhat below the county's, though most adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and short, with the coldest days in January still above freezing at their lows, and summers turn hot by July. Rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.
Work. Residents work mostly in professional and business services, in schools, hospitals and social care, in banks, insurance and property, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. The largest workplaces in Vinings include construction firms such as Holder Construction Group and JE Dunn Construction Company, along with Publix Super Markets. Many residents work from home, and the typical commute is a short one. Unemployment across Cobb County is low, though the county has lost a few jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Truist Park, a stadium, sits in or beside town. A short drive away are the Georgia Aquarium and the High Museum of Art, and Centennial Olympic Park, a protected green space, is also close. For a day further out, Zoo Atlanta is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Vinings’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Cobb County and the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta, GA metro.
