Learn moreA real, small town next to the state capital
Wyoming sits immediately adjacent to Dover, Delaware's state capital, along US Route 13, giving residents practical, everyday access to a much larger city's job market and services (base record).
A real, disclosed shared-ZIP data quirk
Wyoming shares the same 19934 ZIP code as neighboring Camden, DE, meaning town-specific housing and market data runs genuinely thin -- this pass's own research found only 4 active Wyoming-specific listings (base record).
Home to the Caesar Rodney School District's headquarters
Wyoming is the real, administrative home of the Caesar Rodney School District, serving approximately 15 schools and 8,259 students across central Kent County (base record).
Genuinely low taxes and crime
Kent County's own ~0.46% effective property tax rate and a crime rate (14.83 per 1,000) well below the national average both make Wyoming a genuinely favorable small-town choice (base record).
