Oak Ridge and Guilford County
Oak Ridge is associated with Guilford 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.
Oak Ridge by land and water
The Census records 0.14 square miles of water within Oak Ridge, or 0.9% of its total area. It is 0.9 percentage points lower than the 1.8% recorded for Guilford County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Oak Ridge town has 88% of the land area of nearby Stokesdale town (19 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
