Corpus Christi Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. 42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Nueces County average of 48.0%. Court records carry 52 eviction filings across 4 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 3.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $97,356, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
