What this means for LTR investors

Gross yield of 5.56% is below the 7% LTR sweet spot; you'd lean on appreciation here.

Rent grew 4.5% YoY while values moved 4.2%. That gap drives whether yield compresses or expands over time.

Renter share is 28% - a deep renter pool means lower vacancy risk in Delaware.

Median income of $79,325 sets the affordability ceiling on rent growth.
