Edgeboro maps to a single census tract in Bethlehem, PA, population 4,530. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.7/10, Elevated tier. Against a Bethlehem baseline of 31.1%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. 22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,266, 8% below the Bethlehem average of $1,382. That places it #9 of 18 neighborhoods in Bethlehem.
At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Against average income of $78,446, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 6.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
