Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Corpus Christi

Adults with no health insurance runs 42.2% against 11.3% nationally. 29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $40,265 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Disability prevalence runs 47.4% against 31.5% nationally.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. At $1,080 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Corpus Christi commands.
