Benson is a census-designated place in Rutland County, Vermont. The Census Bureau puts its internal point at 43.710063, -73.302976 and its land area at 3.87 square miles. Septic permitting and record keeping happen at the county level, not the census-designated place level, which is why every figure below is attributed to the county and linked back to the county page it came from.

The county is genuinely mixed: 15,039 of 25,241 classified parcels are on septic and the rest are sewered.
