Tinicum and Bucks County
Tinicum is associated with Bucks 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.
Tinicum by land and water
The Census records 0.95 square miles of water within Tinicum, or 3.1% of its total area. It is 0.3 percentage points higher than the 2.8% recorded for Bucks County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
