The Burges Metcalf entry is on the right-hand page, about halfway down the page:
The extracted information from this record for Burges Metcalf is:
* Head of household: Metcalf Burges

The source citation for this census record is:
1790 United States Federal Census, Grafton County, New Hampshire, population schedule, Piermont, page 67, Burges Metcalf household, digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com); citing National Archives Microfilm Publication M637, Roll 5.
This census record is written semi-alphabetically, so it is impossible to know who the neighbors are.
Burgess (1741-1816) and Jerusha (1750-1817) (--?--) Metcalf are my 5th great-grandparents, through their daughter Mary "Polly" Metcalf (1780-1855) who married Amos Underhill (1772-1865).
