Bates County, not Butler
Bates County context, not Butler figures
These are Bates County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Butler measurements.
- Establishments in Bates County344
- Employment at those establishments, Bates County2,738
- Covered employment, Bates County3,673
- Average annual pay, Bates County$42,876
- Average weekly wage, Bates County$825
- Housing units permitted, Bates County9
- Of those, single family, Bates County9
- County product, 2024, Bates County$626,462,000
- County product change over the prior year, Bates County1.5 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Bates County$45,950
Every figure in this section is published for Bates County as a whole and is not a measurement of Butler. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.

9 7(a) approvals totalling $4.2 m, across 7 lenders, median approval $150,000, plus 3 504 approvals worth $1.0 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Butler, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Butler borrowers get paid back?

Are the county figures on this page Butler figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Bates County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Butler.
Is zoning published for Butler?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
