Hampton and Sussex County
Hampton is associated with Sussex 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.
Hampton by land and water
The Census records 0.91 square miles of water within Hampton, or 3.6% of its total area. It is 0.4 percentage points higher than the 3.2% recorded for Sussex County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Hampton township has 7.3 times the land area of nearby Newton town (3.36 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
