Carters in a medieval or fantasy town: how many, and where

About one household of carters for every 4,600 townspeople. Counted as masters and heads of household: journeymen, apprentices and servants come on top. This ratio is counted in the Paris tax roll of 1292: only those who paid the taille, so fewer than there were.
