Provided they know the layout, the security posture, and the locations of any weapons and mobiles who know how to use them.
Sure, but realistically, how much of a “security posture” do you think this home has? It’s probably about 50/50 on if they have guns at all, and then even if they do the question becomes whether the guns are accessible in an emergency, or if they’re in a gun safe in the basement. And even then, if we say “they have guns, and the guns are reasonably accessible,” we have to ask how fast they’ll go for them. When they see an angry looking black man approaching holding a gun, sure, but what if he keeps his gun hidden and rings the doorbell like a normal visitor?
You’re talking like this is a tactically hardened target, when it’s much more likely a normal family home inhabited by people that shouldn’t—do, apparently, but really shouldn’t and almost certainly don’t think otherwise—have any reason to expect to be uniquely targeted for a home invasion by some whackjob they don’t even know.

Saying you're going to "pull up" generally implies you have none of those things.
Yea, there's crime in some areas, and not in others. This isn't an evenly distributed problem.
