How this data was derived: Reverse mortgage counts reflect FHA-insured HECM loans endorsed over a rolling 12-month period (Dec 2024–Nov 2025) using HUD HECM Snapshot data. Active lenders represent unique FHA sponsor numbers with at least one endorsed loan during this period. Estimated homeowners age 62+ are based on U.S. Census ACS 5-year owner-occupied households age 65+ as a conservative proxy. Home values are sourced from Zillow’s Home Value Index (latest available).

About Bethlehem
Bethlehem is one of eastern Pennsylvania’s most established cities, known for its deep historical roots and strong base of long-term homeowners. Founded in 1741, the city has evolved from a manufacturing center into a diverse regional hub supported by healthcare, education, and retail.
Reverse mortgages in Bethlehem are most often evaluated as a way to eliminate monthly mortgage payments, improve retirement cash flow, and remain in the home long term rather than as short-term leverage.
