Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Side

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 21.1% against 11.3% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 131 filings here across 4 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Nueces County average of 3.8.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 2.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 6.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 46% of renters. Average gross rent is $1,289, close to the Corpus Christi average.

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