Richmond and Washington County
Richmond is associated with Washington 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.
Richmond by land and water
The Census records 0.43 square miles of water within Richmond, or 1.1% of its total area. It is 40.4 percentage points lower than the 41.5% recorded for Washington County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Richmond town has 46.8 times the land area of nearby Wyoming CDP (0.86 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
