Buncombe County, not Montreat
Buncombe County context, not Montreat 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 Montreat 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
- Of those, single family, Buncombe County1,379
- County product, 2024, Buncombe County$21,262,054,000
- 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 Montreat. 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.

Is Montreat in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Montreat appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 370476, 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 Montreat 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 Montreat.
Is zoning published for Montreat?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
