How Delhi ranks on affordability →
An estimate, not a loan offer: payments of up to 28% of income, a 30-year fixed loan, Delhi’s typical property tax (2.04% of value a year, from the Census) and insurance of about 0.35%. Mortgage insurance, HOA fees and other debts aren’t included.
A two-bedroom rents for about $1,220
Renters already here pay a median of $866, so moving in tends to cost more than staying put.
Fair Market Rent a month, utilities included
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Fair Market Rents by ZIP code (Delaware County, NY): the 40th-percentile rent plus utilities for a standard unit. Median rent and renters: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey.
46% of Delhi households own their home
Half of Delhi’s homes were built before 1953.
New York: 54% own.

No new homes permitted in 2025
No permits for new homes were issued in Delhi in 2025. The last year with any was 2023 (1 new home).
Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses, Delhi's population fell by 366 even though 3 new homes were permitted. Homes are holding fewer people: households are getting smaller, or more homes are used part of the year. Across New York: 2.2 new residents per new home.
