100 cents = 1 acre exactly — the name "cent" comes directly from this one-hundredth relationship.

Why is land priced per cent in Kerala instead of per square foot or acre?

A cent is a convenient middle-ground size for residential plots — an acre is too large a unit for most home plots, and pricing per square foot feels too granular for everyday conversation, so Kerala and Tamil Nadu property listings settled on cents as the practical unit.

What is a 5 cent plot in square feet?

5 × 435.6 = 2,178 sq ft — a common size for an independent house plot in Kerala.

Is the cent value the same across Kerala and Tamil Nadu?

Yes — unlike bigha or katha, cent is a standardised fraction of the acre (1/100) and does not vary by state or district; 435.6 sq ft applies everywhere the unit is used.
