About the Profiles

Our WNC Pulse County Profiles are designed to provide a robust data baseline for each county in western North Carolina. As more counties are completed, more counties will be added. The data covers a broad range of metrics, including: population; demographics; the economy; employment and land-use. The data has been placed into an Excel spreadsheet so that the end user can manipulate the data to better suit their unique needs. As newer data becomes available, these profiles will be automatically updated. Profiles are based on work originally done by the Center for Mountain Living.
