Butler is a one-tract neighborhood of Warren, MI, population 5,337. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Warren rate of 32.9%.
SNAP participation is 38.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Set annual rent against average household income of $38,730 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Food insecurity affects 36.2% of adults, 18.4 points above the national rate.
The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Warren. For a like-for-like read, Farwell and Conner Creek score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,205, close to the Warren average.
49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
