Size Distribution of Harrisonburg Land Parcels

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!
