Every county in Delaware

3 counties

Ranked by units under contract. 2 of 3 publish a wait figure; the rest are suppressed (fewer than 11 families), missing, or non-reporting, and are shown as "no data" rather than as a zero.

County Units Households Wait (mo, those admitted) ELI need met
New Castle County 9,316 8,056 44 37.1%
Kent County 2,520 1,887 13 33%
Sussex County 1,322 1,096 no data 20%

The wait is the time households who were admitted spent waiting. Everyone still on a list is absent from HUD's file entirely, so the real wait is longer than any figure here. Need is from HUD CHAS (2017-2021 ACS); supply is from the HUD Picture file (2025). See the methodology.
