Size Distribution of Harrisonburg Land Parcels
By Scott Rogers • September 21, 2009 Filed In: analysis
A few weeks ago I examined the size distribution of land parcels in Rockingham County, and was asked whether such data existed for the City of Harrisonburg. It does! As you'll see below, most (92.5%) land parcels in the City of Harrisonburg are less than an acre in size. Here are a few other interesting tidbits about land parcels as a whole in the City of Harrisonburg: While Rockingham County is home to 46,600 parcels of real estate,Harrisonburg is divided up into only 15,075 parcels. While thelargest parcel in Rockingham County is the National Forest (140,001acres), the largest piece of land in Harrisonburg (148 acres) is ownedby James Madison University. The average lot size in the City of Harrisonburg is 0.64 acres. More to come in future days --- the data from the City of Harrisonburg provides additional descriptors (such as "current use") that will be interesting to analyze!
