Bennington County, not Manchester Center
Bennington County context, not Manchester Center figures
These are Bennington County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Manchester Center measurements.
- Establishments in Bennington County1,258
- Employment at those establishments, Bennington County14,352
- Covered employment, Bennington County16,750
- Average annual pay, Bennington County$58,906
- Average weekly wage, Bennington County$1,133
- Housing units permitted, Bennington County54
- Of those, single family, Bennington County50

- County product change over the prior year, Bennington County5.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Bennington County$123,725
Every figure in this section is published for Bennington County as a whole and is not a measurement of Manchester Center. 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.
