I know that security is a bit of a show and its really more of a deterant, but I was wondering realistically how I could prevent someone breaking and entering a small-ish American home? What is actually effective?

Given unlimited time for whoever to break in undisturbed, nothing is secure.
The relevant measure is how quickly someone could break in, without preparation and then with. That’s kind of how they rate safes.
If you’re not Maduro and the goal is just to get away before they’re in, people have mentioned some good options to slow whoever down (alongside the silly suggestions). I’d also add trying to look unprepared, so they don’t come prepared for more than a door or window themselves, and having a non-obvious escape route to use in those critical seconds.
Of course, if it’s an authority, after you’ve run away you’re down a small-ish house.
