The poverty rate is 59%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $17,705, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against the Nueces County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Court records carry 204 eviction filings across 4 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 8.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
