A real, disclosed small-denominator crime distortion

A cited 144.85-per-1,000 crime rate is explicitly attributed by its own source to Dewey Beach's tiny (~350) year-round population swelling to 30,000+ in summer -- this record does not treat that figure at face value (base record).

No confident safety tag applied either direction

This record does not apply ABOVE_AVERAGE_SAFETY or BELOW_AVERAGE_SAFETY given the disclosed distortion, and did not locate a corrected, population-adjusted figure this pass (base record).

Regional, not town-specific, healthcare access

No Dewey-Beach-specific hospital figure was found this pass; Beebe Healthcare (Lewes-based, the closest major system) and TidalHealth are the commonly cited regional systems (base record).
