Raccoon and Gallia County
Raccoon is associated with Gallia 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.
Raccoon by land and water
The Census records 0.58 square miles of water within Raccoon, or 1.5% of its total area. It is 0.5 percentage points higher than the 1% recorded for Gallia County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Raccoon township has 27 times the land area of nearby Rio Grande village (1.38 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
