Linden and Union County
Linden is associated with Union 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.
Linden by land and water
The Census records 0.66 square miles of water within Linden, or 5.8% of its total area. It is 3.3 percentage points higher than the 2.5% recorded for Union County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Linden city has 4.1 times the land area of nearby Roselle borough (2.64 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
