Delaware County Pennsylvnia USDA Loan

What areas of Delaware County are eligible for the USDA Mortgage Program?

As expected, most of Delaware County is geographically restricted from the No Down Payment USDA Mortgage Program. The county’s population density precludes the majority of the county from being included in the USDA’s Rural Development Eligibility Map. Moving away from Philadelphia and eastern Delaware County, we finally reach USDA Eligible territory again when we reach Chadds Ford Township west of Route 202. This township borders Chester County and includes the Brandywine Battlefield Historic Site.

Chadds Ford is the only USDA Eligible area in Delaware County.

Just the very western area of Delaware County is Eligible for the USDA Mortgage Program.
