Pocono and Monroe County
Pocono is associated with Monroe 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.
Pocono by land and water
The Census records 0.19 square miles of water within Pocono, or 0.5% of its total area. It is 0.9 percentage points lower than the 1.4% recorded for Monroe County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Pocono township has 16.9 times the land area of nearby Penn Estates CDP (2.02 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
