Delaware Hunting and Waterfowl Permit Counts by Year and Residency

Data.delaware.gov provides annual totals for hunting licenses and waterfowl stamps issued in Delaware, categorized by resident and non-resident status. The dataset contains counts for four permit types across multiple years. It was last updated by the state platform in October 2022.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in Resident Hunting Licenses and Non-Resident Hunting Licenses over the Year column to forecast demand and revenue.
• Compare the ratio of Resident Waterfowl Stamps to Non-Resident Waterfowl Stamps to assess program appeal to out-of-state participants.
• Model seasonal or policy impacts by using the Year column as a time-series index for all four license and stamp count columns.

Strengths

• Data is structured with five clear columns for direct analysis.
• Provides a multi-year time series for tracking trends.
