Delaware and Hunterdon County
Delaware is associated with Hunterdon 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.
Delaware by land and water
The Census records 0.39 square miles of water within Delaware, or 1.1% of its total area. It is 1.1 percentage points lower than the 2.2% recorded for Hunterdon County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Delaware township has 67.1 times the land area of nearby Stockton borough (0.55 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
