Property tax · $218/mo 1.23% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Westmoreland County, PA
Insurance & upkeep · $228/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. Latrobe is a small borough in Westmoreland County, and its residents are a little older than the typical American. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values and rents sit at a moderate level. Household incomes are well below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than most would expect to find in a town of this kind. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days and the year is fairly wet.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and shops. Among the largest workplaces in Latrobe are Carpenter Technology, which makes forgings and steel, Greater Latrobe Schools, and City Brewing Company. Commutes are short, and few people work from home. Unemployment across Westmoreland County is lower than a year ago, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did.
Things to do. Idlewild and Soak Zone, an amusement park, and Keystone State Park, a protected area, are both a short drive away, as is the Westmoreland Museum of American Art. For a longer outing, Fallingwater, a museum, is a longer drive away. Chuck Noll Field, a stadium, is in or beside town.

Natural hazards
- LightningRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Latrobe’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Westmoreland County and the Pittsburgh, PA metro.
