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

The source citation for this census record is:
1800 United States Federal Census, Grafton County, New Hampshire, population schedule, Piermont, page 706, Burges Metcalf household, digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com); citing National Archives Microfilm Publication M32, Roll 20.
Ancestry.com indexed the head of household for this record as "Burges Metsa G" for some reason. Other researchers have added Burges Metcalf as an alternate name.
This census record is written semi-alphabetically, so it is impossible to know who the neighbors are. Burgess Metcalf is the only Metcalf on the page.
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).
