🏆 1.40x Home Value Gap in Asheville — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. The ratio between Buncombe and Haywood counties reveals a deep structural divide in regional wealth distribution. While urban centers thrive, rural counties face compounding risks from climate and underinvestment. This isn’t just a housing story—it’s a test of equity, resilience, and long-term planning. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-09-13-asheville-within-county-home-value Why does this matter for the Asheville market? Because sustainable growth can’t be built on a foundation of inequality. As El Niño threatens infrastructure, the counties with the lowest values are the ones least equipped to respond.
