Alfred and Allegany County
Alfred is associated with Allegany 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.
Alfred by land and water
The Census records 0.15 square miles of water within Alfred, or 0.5% of its total area. That share is close to Allegany County’s 0.5%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Alfred town has 26.5 times the land area of nearby Alfred village (1.19 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
