Hills at Bethel is a 4-tract neighborhood of Boothwyn, PA and houses 14,457 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. At $733 a month, rents sit 47% under what the rest of Boothwyn commands.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Against a Boothwyn baseline of 37.2%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 7% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
