Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown

Adults with no health insurance runs 44.3% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 49%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Disability prevalence runs 52.5% against 31.5% nationally.

Average gross rent is $841, 35% below the Corpus Christi average. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $28,929, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. Cost burden runs 59% here against 48.0% across Nueces County.

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.9 points above the Nueces County average of 3.8. The filing record is not thin: 148 evictions over 4 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 5.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
