Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Corpus Christi

34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Adults with no health insurance runs 35.5% against 11.3% nationally. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $39,914 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
