Goldsmiths in a medieval or fantasy town: how many, and where
About one household of goldsmiths for every 1,900 townspeople. Counted as masters and heads of household: journeymen, apprentices and servants come on top. The Paris tax roll of 1292 names 120 of them, for a city of about 220,000 people: only those who paid the taille, so fewer than there were. About as common as porters and boatmen and weavers and fullers.
| Townspeople | Households |
|---|---|
| 3,000 | 2 |
| 10,000 | 5 |
| 40,000 | 21 |
| 150,000 | 81 |
