Property tax · $461/mo 1.40% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Parker County, TX
Insurance & upkeep · $424/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. Weatherford is a city in Parker County, west of Fort Worth. Residents here are somewhat younger than in many American towns, and most homes are lived in by their owners, though there are more renters than across the county. Household incomes run below the county's, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month and highs a little above freezing, while summers are hot, with August the warmest.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, professional and business services, and manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Weatherford are Weatherford ISD, Weatherford College and Medical City Weatherford. Unemployment is low and has barely changed from a year ago, and across Parker County there are more jobs than there were the year before. A typical commute is moderate, and a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. In or beside town, Chandor Gardens is a park to wander, the Vintage Grill & Car Museum is a museum, and Roger Williams Ballpark is a stadium. Lake Weatherford, a reservoir, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, the Fort Worth Zoo and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art are 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 Weatherford’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate.

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 Parker County and the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metro.
