Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Central City

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 60% here against 48.0% across Nueces County.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $40,278, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Disability prevalence runs 47.1% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Nueces County average of 3.8.

Court records carry 91 eviction filings across 4 observed years. At $1,152 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Corpus Christi commands.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 8.2% of renter households.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
