Property tax · $290/mo 1.52% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Allegheny County, PA
Insurance & upkeep · $246/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. Monroeville is a town in Allegheny County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and where incomes sit just above the county's. Residents tend to be somewhat older than in many places, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, while July brings warm summer days; rain and melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Monroeville are Forbes Regional Hospital, UPMC East Hospital and Gateway Schools. Commutes are of middling length, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away are the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Carnegie Museum of Art, museums that draw visitors from across the region. The Youghiogheny River, also a short drive off, offers a river to walk beside or look out over. A longer drive brings you to the Allegheny River and the Andy Warhol Museum.

Natural hazards
- Cold wavesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Monroeville’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 Allegheny County and the Pittsburgh, PA metro.
