Fell and Lackawanna County
Fell is associated with Lackawanna 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.
Fell by land and water
The Census records 0.08 square miles of water within Fell, or 0.5% of its total area. It is 0.8 percentage points lower than the 1.3% recorded for Lackawanna County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Fell township has 17.3 times the land area of nearby Simpson CDP (0.88 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
