Center and Wayne County
Center is associated with Wayne 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.
Center by land and water
The Census records 0.29 square miles of water within Center, or 0.7% of its total area. That share is close to Wayne County’s 0.6%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Center township has 12 times the land area of nearby Centerville town (3.5 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
