Rosemont is a one-tract neighborhood of Bethlehem, PA, population 3,416. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.3/10, in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10.
Against a Bethlehem baseline of 31.1%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 17% 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. The filing record is not thin: 42 evictions logged in this tract.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.1/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,210, 12% below the Bethlehem average of $1,382. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 4.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2006, is well off that peak.
That places it #11 of 18 neighborhoods in Bethlehem. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 6.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
