Learn moreA genuinely tiny year-round population
A 2026 population of approximately 409 and a median age of 66.8 years mean Fenwick Island is not meaningfully served by a distinct, large K-12 enrollment base (base record).
No Fenwick-Island-specific school performance figure confirmed
This pass's research did not locate a Fenwick-Island-specific school assignment or performance figure distinct from the broader Indian River School District serving eastern Sussex County's beach communities (base record).
Families in this market typically look inland
Most families in this dataset's Sussex County beach-town research instead look toward Bethany Beach, Millville, or Selbyville for a larger year-round family population (base record).
A genuinely favorable safety backdrop for any resident families
Fenwick Island's real, cited 0.91-per-1,000 violent-crime rate is a genuine plus for any family in the area, even amid the town's small size (base record).
