The area
Lewes, the First Town in the First State, sits where Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic. Its walkable historic downtown, Cape Henlopen State Park, the Cape May-Lewes Ferry and the Junction & Breakwater Trail make it one of the most sought-after places to live at the Delaware beaches, with Rehoboth Beach a short drive south.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates. Household income is the median. “Own their home” is the share of occupied homes that are owner-occupied. Small towns have wider margins of error, and a community may sit just outside town limits.
