Bristol County, not Taunton
Bristol County context, not Taunton figures
These are Bristol County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Taunton measurements.
- Establishments in Bristol County13,221
- Employment at those establishments, Bristol County201,320
- Covered employment, Bristol County227,971
- Average annual pay, Bristol County$64,669
- Average weekly wage, Bristol County$1,244
- Housing units permitted, Bristol County863
- Of those, single family, Bristol County514
- County product, 2024, Bristol County$36,041,041,000
- County product change over the prior year, Bristol County5.0 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Bristol County$75,014
Every figure in this section is published for Bristol County as a whole and is not a measurement of Taunton. 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.
- 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
Taunton questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Taunton, Massachusetts?
60,433, in 24,063 households. Taunton city covers 46.71 square miles of land, which is 1,294 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

Bristol County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
What is the median household income in Taunton?
$79,283. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $422,800. Median gross rent is $1,324 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Taunton businesses?
65 7(a) approvals totalling $14.6 m, across 20 lenders, median approval $100,000, plus 32 504 approvals worth $21.5 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Taunton, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Taunton borrowers get paid back?
Of the 10 loans that have reached a final outcome, 8 were paid in full and 2 charged off, a charge off rate of 20.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Taunton figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Bristol 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 Taunton.
Is zoning published for Taunton?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
