Property tax · $217/mo 0.57% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Buncombe County, NC
Insurance & upkeep · $491/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Weaverville is a small town in Buncombe County, north of Asheville. Incomes in town are on the comfortable side, and very few residents live below the poverty line. A large majority of adults hold a four-year degree, and homes are priced high, with rents that are not low either. Winters are cold, with chilly days and nights that drop below freezing in January, and some snow most years. Summers are warm without being extreme, and rain and melted snow are spread through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, professional and business services, and shops. Within Weaverville itself, the largest workplaces include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Epsilon and Walmart. Commutes are fairly short, and a good share of residents work from home. Across Buncombe County, unemployment is lower than a year ago, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. The Asheville-Weaverville Speedway, a race track, is in or beside town. A short drive away are the Folk Art Center, a museum, and the Asheville Art Museum, along with the Botanical Gardens at Asheville. For a longer outing, Pisgah National Forest, a protected area, is a longer drive away, as are several waterfalls such as Glassmine Falls.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Weaverville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
