Genuinely favorable property taxes

Kent County's own cited effective property tax rate (~0.46%) runs well below the national median, a real advantage for fixed-income retirees.

Direct Dover-area healthcare access

Camden's proximity to Dover gives retirees genuine access to Bayhealth Kent Campus and other regional healthcare systems.

A real, disclosed research gap

This record did not independently confirm a Camden-specific median-age or senior-population-share figure this pass -- unlike Bethany Beach's (66.8) or Selbyville's (50.3) more decisively senior-skewed data, this record does not assert a confident retiree-community claim for Camden without that data.
