Buncombe County, not Biltmore Forest
Buncombe County context, not Biltmore Forest figures
These are Buncombe County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Biltmore Forest measurements.
- Establishments in Buncombe County9,863
- Employment at those establishments, Buncombe County127,409
- Covered employment, Buncombe County136,495
- Average annual pay, Buncombe County$58,785

- Average income of an arriving household, Buncombe County$97,832
Every figure in this section is published for Buncombe County as a whole and is not a measurement of Biltmore Forest. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- No median gross rent is published for this place.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.

No, and they are labelled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Biltmore Forest.
Is zoning published for Biltmore Forest?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
