This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What sort of stats do people find helpful for settlements in modules?

Pathfinder, has a pretty comprehensive guide; but really I am looking for something much more paired down. Really just the things people find really helpful to be able to see at a glance.

Hmm, don't know that I've ever found settlement stats all that useful. Its hard to tell how big a place is from population and I struggle a bit trying to interpret what square areas translate into image-wise: I'd include those things but a map is probably much more useful. More text covering important places, government, and relevant history is more critical.
 
I've never used GP limits for magic items or spellcasting levels/NPC levels - I just make rulings on that sort of thing common sense wise. I guess leader/major NPCs vague stats (name, alignment, class/lvl) are handy.
