A real, disclosed internal inconsistency in crime data

One source cited a 29-per-1,000 overall crime rate, framed as among the highest in the country -- yet that same source elsewhere described Delmar as safer than the Delaware state average and as safe as the national average, a real, unresolved contradiction (base record).

No local acute-care hospital

Delmar does not have its own hospital; the nearest, TidalHealth Nanticoke, sits in Seaford, roughly 15 miles away, with Beebe Healthcare's Lewes-based system also serving the region (base record).

A real, local primary-care clinic

La Red Health Center provides real, local primary-care clinic services directly in Delmar -- a genuine local access point distinct from a full hospital (base record).

Confirm current, address-specific data directly

Given the disclosed crime-data inconsistency and healthcare-access gap, confirm current, address-specific crime and healthcare-access data directly before moving.
