Frankford town, DE in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Frankford town is a very small community in Delaware, with 883 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #57 of 79 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 36 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Frankford town earn a median of $74,583 a year, 5% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $75,000 median for the 54 Delaware cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 5.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Frankford town is valued at $277,800, 8.4% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $280,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,273 a month, 9.5% below the national figure, or roughly $15,276 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 58.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
