Worth and Jefferson County
Worth is associated with Jefferson 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.
Worth by land and water
The Census records 0.09 square miles of water within Worth, or 0.2% of its total area. It is 31.5 percentage points lower than the 31.7% recorded for Jefferson County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
