About The Area The Randolph County (Asheboro) area of North Carolina combines the advantages of a welcoming small-town community with the convenience of being centrally located in the state. Asheboro, the county seat, is home to the internationally recognized North Carolina Zoo and serves as a hub for healthcare, education, and manufacturing. The area offers an affordable cost of living, diverse housing options, and strong community institutions, making it an appealing place for families and professionals alike. Major employers in the area include Cone Health, Energizer, Technimark, Timken, Dart Container, Post Brands, and Asheboro City Schools. With easy access to Greensboro, Winston‑Salem, and Raleigh, residents enjoy the best of both worlds—local charm and a slower pace of life with proximity to urban amenities, universities, and cultural experiences.

The median age ranges from 37 in Asheboro to 41 in the county, reflecting both young families and an aging population. Median household income is about $43,000–$45,000 in Asheboro and $55,000 countywide, with homeownership higher in rural areas around 70%.
