Brevard Economy

Aside from clean air, waterfalls and a major music festival, a leading benefit of Brevard-area life is the low cost of living – 10% lower than the national average. The area’s economic growth rate is one of the highest in the state, and according to 2006 FDIC data, job growth throughout North Carolina remains above average, with the high-tech sector making a comeback

Manufacturing is the Brevard-area industry that generates the most sales, closely followed by retail. Not as dominant in the area but also contributing significantly to the local economy are healthcare, accommodation/food service and real estate. The unemployment rate – 5.5 % in 2005 – tends to mirror the national average. For those seeking to become small business owners in Brevard, Transylvania County’s Economic Development Department offers assistance to businesses relocating to the area.
