Bellefonte town, DE in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bellefonte town is a small town in Delaware, with 1,507 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #48 of 79 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 41.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Bellefonte town earn a median of $86,667 a year, 10.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 16% above the $75,000 median for the 54 Delaware cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 6.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

A household on the local median income would put about 21.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
