How we determined the worst Corpus Christi hoods

To figure out how bad a place is to live in, we only needed to know what kinds of things people like and then decide what places have the least amount of those things. We threw the following criteria into this analysis in order to get the best, most complete results possible. We used this set of criteria for each neighborhood in Corpus Christi:

• High unemployment (Less jobs)
• Low median income (Less pay)
• Low population density (No things to do)
• Low home values (No one’s willing to pay to live here)
• High crime (Estimated)

Then, we ranked each neighborhood in Corpus Christi for each of these criteria from worst to best.

Next, we averaged the individual rankings for each criteria into a “Worst Score”.
