Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Corpus Christi

Adults with no health insurance runs 38.8% against 11.3% nationally. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Disability prevalence runs 48.0% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $42,500, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

It sits 0.9 points above the Nueces County average of 3.8. Court records carry 151 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,134, 12% below the Corpus Christi average.
