Westside maps to a single census tract in Butte, MT and houses 4,972 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Butte rate of 29.0%.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10.
The poverty rate is 26%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Butte, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, Pioneer and Silver Bow Park score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $840, close to the Butte average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $48,365.
51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
