THE SOUTHAMPTON LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Inner Coastal Plain setting.
Southampton township has 44 square miles of land in Burlington County. Its Census reference point is in Inner Coastal Plain, within Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens.
Sandy coastal landscapes combine beaches, dunes, bays and marshes with oak-pine woodland. These pine-barrens settings form a transition between warmer southern coasts and rockier shores farther north.

Southampton and Burlington County
Southampton is associated with Burlington 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.
Southampton by land and water
The Census records 0.48 square miles of water within Southampton, or 1.1% of its total area. It is 1.5 percentage points lower than the 2.6% recorded for Burlington County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Southampton township has 21.3 times the land area of nearby Leisuretowne CDP (2.07 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
