Wind is the story here. Easton sits at the confluence of the Delaware and the Lehigh, and the valleys funnel wind up the hillsides. Ridge caps, hip caps and any shingle that was under-nailed on the last job are what let go first, usually along the exposed side of the house.
Terrain and stock
College Hill is steep in both senses. The streets climb and so do the roofs, with Victorians carrying dormers, turrets and complicated valleys. Getting equipment and materials to the back of a hillside property is part of the job and gets planned before the day starts.
Downtown and along the river the stock is older row homes and twins, tight together, with the same party wall and rear addition issues found in Allentown.
Water management matters more here than on flat ground. A roof that sheds onto a hillside without gutters sized for it will undermine the grading and end up as a basement problem rather than a roof problem.

Easton questions
Often yes, and it is worth getting looked at before you file.
Wind damage is one of the more straightforward claims to document, but carriers want to see the pattern and the mat condition, not one photo of a bare spot. That gets photographed properly first.
Exposure. The slope taking the prevailing wind loses granules and seal strips faster than the sheltered side.
It is normal for one plane to look years older than the other on a hillside property. It also means a repair on the exposed side may buy less time than the same repair elsewhere.
Usually, and it gets worked out at the inspection rather than on the morning of the tear-off.
Access is the thing most often underestimated in Easton. Knowing it in advance is what keeps the job to one day.
