Rush and Schuylkill County
Rush is associated with Schuylkill 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.
Rush by land and water
The Census records 1.03 square miles of water within Rush, or 4.2% of its total area. It is 3.7 percentage points higher than the 0.5% recorded for Schuylkill County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
