THE DELANO LAND BRIEF
Land in the
South Valley Alluvium setting.
Delano city has 14.7 square miles of land in Kern County. Its Census reference point is in South Valley Alluvium, within Central California Valley.
The Sacramento and San Joaquin river systems occupy broad sediment-filled basins, with fans and terraces toward the valley margins. These nearly level landscapes contrast with California's surrounding hills and mountains.

Delano and Kern County
Delano is associated with Kern County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Delano by land and water
The Census records 0.05 square miles of water within Delano, or 0.4% of its total area. That share is close to Kern County’s 0.4%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Delano city has 145.7 times the land area of nearby Jovista CDP (0.1 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
