What the Numbers Mean for Kent County Distressed Property Buyers
- Vacancy. About 4.6% of Kent County's housing units (12,488 homes) were vacant in the 2020–2024 ACS, below the U.S. figure of 10.1%. That count includes homes for rent, for sale, and seasonal homes, so it is a market-wide signal rather than a count of distressed homes; our county list is what identifies the distressed ones.
- Housing age. The median home in Kent County was built in 1977, close to the U.S. median (1980), so distressed homes here span a typical mix of repair needs.
- Prices. The median home value of $289,900 is 13% below the U.S. median of $332,700, and equals 3.5 times the county's median household income of $82,631. That puts deal spreads in a mid-range for wholesalers and flippers.
- Tenure. 70.3% of occupied homes in Kent County are owner-occupied versus 29.7% renter-occupied, close to the national split. Expect a mix of owner-occupant and landlord-owned distress.
- Population trend. Kent County's population was roughly steady between 2020 and 2025 (+2.6%), so local demand is stable rather than fast-moving.
