Berkshire County, not Cheshire
Berkshire County context, not Cheshire figures
These are Berkshire County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Cheshire measurements.
- Establishments in Berkshire County3,749
- Employment at those establishments, Berkshire County50,051
- Covered employment, Berkshire County57,946
- Average annual pay, Berkshire County$62,257
- Average weekly wage, Berkshire County$1,197
- Housing units permitted, Berkshire County127
- Of those, single family, Berkshire County108
- County product, 2024, Berkshire County$9,165,163,000
- County product change over the prior year, Berkshire County4.2 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Berkshire County$122,669
Every figure in this section is published for Berkshire County as a whole and is not a measurement of Cheshire. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- The American Community Survey does not publish a median household income for this place, which happens where the sample is too small to support one.
- No median owner-occupied home value is published for this place.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Cheshire questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Cheshire, Massachusetts?
674, in 392 households. Cheshire CDP covers 0.38 square miles of land, which is 1,757 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Cheshire in?
Berkshire County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
Are the county figures on this page Cheshire figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Berkshire County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Cheshire.
Is zoning published for Cheshire?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
