Uptown is a one-tract neighborhood of Butte, MT, population 1,751. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs about half against 29.0% citywide, putting Uptown 18.2% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.3/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10.
The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.7/10. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Butte, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third.
Only 25% 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, Silver Bow Park and South Butte score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $861, close to the Butte average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $41,935.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
