A compact, bi-state town along US-13

Delmar's small footprint (Delaware-side population approximately 2,397, combined bi-state town approximately 4,600) sits along US-13, meaning most residential areas run genuinely close to both the Delaware and Maryland sides of town (base record).

Weigh the real, disclosed crime-data inconsistency by address

Given this record's disclosed, unresolved crime-data inconsistency, prospective buyers and renters should confirm current, address-specific crime data directly with the Delmar Police Department rather than relying on either conflicting citywide figure (base record).

Consider the cross-border schooling arrangement by address

Families should confirm a specific target address's real, cross-border elementary-schooling assignment directly, given Delmar's distinctive bi-state schooling arrangement (base record).

Regional access to Salisbury, Maryland

Areas of Delmar closer to Salisbury, Maryland (roughly 10 miles south) may offer genuinely easier access to that city's broader regional employment, shopping, and healthcare options (base record).
