Butler County, not Butler
Butler County context, not Butler figures
These are Butler 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 Butler County5,083
- Employment at those establishments, Butler County86,610
- Covered employment, Butler County88,461
- Average annual pay, Butler County$65,579
- Average weekly wage, Butler County$1,261
- Housing units permitted, Butler County976
- Of those, single family, Butler County946
- County product, 2024, Butler County$14,517,627,000
- County product change over the prior year, Butler County4.4 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Butler County$96,546
Every figure in this section is published for Butler 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.
- 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.
Common questions

How much SBA lending goes to Butler businesses?
74 7(a) approvals totalling $37.6 m, across 21 lenders, median approval $200,000, plus 10 504 approvals worth $6.9 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?
Of the 10 loans that have reached a final outcome, 10 were paid in full and 0 charged off, a charge off rate of 0.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Butler in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Butler appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 421138, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
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 Butler 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.
