South Butte maps to a single census tract in Butte, MT, population 2,746. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10. Average gross rent is $651, 24% below the Butte average of $856.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.9/10. The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 34% against 29.0% citywide, putting South Butte 4.8% over its own city. That places it #5 of 6 neighborhoods in Butte. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Floral Park and Uptown score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $56,989, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
