Worcester County, not Barre
Worcester County context, not Barre figures
These are Worcester County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Barre measurements.
- Establishments in Worcester County19,181
- Employment at those establishments, Worcester County319,255
- Covered employment, Worcester County351,476
- Average annual pay, Worcester County$71,641
- Average weekly wage, Worcester County$1,378
- Housing units permitted, Worcester County2,506
- Of those, single family, Worcester County964
- County product, 2024, Worcester County$60,947,229,000
- County product change over the prior year, Worcester County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Worcester County$87,853
Every figure in this section is published for Worcester County as a whole and is not a measurement of Barre. 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.
