Galloway and Atlantic County
Galloway is associated with Atlantic 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.
Galloway by land and water
The Census records 25.8 square miles of water within Galloway, or 22.6% of its total area. It is 5.2 percentage points higher than the 17.3% recorded for Atlantic County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Galloway township has 16 times the land area of nearby Smithville CDP (5.55 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
