What the numbers mean in Bethlehem CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Bethlehem CDP median would spend about 11.2% of gross income on the median rent. The 30% mark is the federal threshold for cost burden, so anything above it signals a stretched rental market. The median home costs 3.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 3.9% of residents and 85.8% of households own their home.
