Greenwood and Perry County
Greenwood is associated with Perry 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.
Greenwood by land and water
The Census records 0.28 square miles of water within Greenwood, or 1.1% of its total area. It is 0.4 percentage points higher than the 0.7% recorded for Perry County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Greenwood township has 29.7 times the land area of nearby Millerstown borough (0.85 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
