Buncombe County, not Fairview
Buncombe County context, not Fairview 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 Fairview 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 weekly wage, Buncombe County$1,130
- Housing units permitted, Buncombe County3,613

- County product change over the prior year, Buncombe County5.7 percent
- 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 Fairview. 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 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.

Do SBA loans to Fairview borrowers get paid back?

Is Fairview in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Fairview appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370024, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Fairview figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Buncombe County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Fairview.
Is zoning published for Fairview?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
