Butler Station is a one-tract neighborhood of Mauldin, SC, population 5,003. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. 79% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Mauldin rate of 25.4%.
The voucher gap is 34.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 8.4/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. 15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
At $1,754 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Mauldin commands. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10. That places it #4 of 6 neighborhoods in Mauldin.
At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $83,477.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
