Wheatfield and Perry County
Wheatfield 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.
Wheatfield by land and water
The Census records 0.17 square miles of water within Wheatfield, or 0.8% of its total area. That share is close to Perry County’s 0.7%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Wheatfield township has 1.7 times the land area of nearby Miller township (12.4 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
