Effective property tax rate vs national benchmarks
Kenedy County's median household income is not currently available, limiting direct comparison to the national median of $74,755. However, the county's per capita income of $31,183 runs 6% below the national average, suggesting moderate economic challenge.
Rural county with sparse economic data
Kenedy County's per capita income of $31,183 falls slightly below the Texas state average of $33,197, indicating modest earnings relative to the state. The lack of detailed household income data reflects the county's very small, rural population and limited economic activity.
Comparison data unavailable for assessment
Complete income comparison with adjacent counties like Jim Wells and Willacy is difficult due to missing median household income data for Kenedy. Per capita income suggests economic conditions more challenged than wealthier Hill Country neighbors.
Housing affordability data incomplete
Without median household income and rent-to-income data, assessing Kenedy's housing affordability is difficult. Residents should seek local economic development resources to understand living costs and income adequacy in this rural coastal county.
Build financial stability in rural Kenedy
Per capita income of $31,183 suggests Kenedy residents benefit from conservative financial planning and focused savings strategies. Connect with local credit unions, nonprofit financial counseling services, or state resources to develop personalized wealth-building plans suited to the county's rural economy.
Kenedy County reports a staggering 46.5% poor or fair health rate—nearly three times the U.S. average of 17.8%—indicating a population in distress. While life expectancy data isn't available, this health burden suggests Kenedy residents face serious barriers to wellness.
Texas's most challenged county
Kenedy's 46.5% poor/fair health rate and 37.7% uninsured rate far exceed Texas averages (uninsured: 19.8%), making it one of the state's most underserved counties. The absence of life expectancy data compounds uncertainty, but available indicators point to acute health crisis.
Isolated health crisis in region
Kenedy's 37.7% uninsured rate dwarfs nearby Kinney County (12.9%) and stands light-years apart from Kendall County (15.3%). Limited provider data and extremely high uninsured rates suggest Kenedy residents struggle to access care that neighboring counties take for granted.
Broken access, overwhelming need
More than one-third of Kenedy residents (37.7%) lack health insurance, and provider data isn't available—suggesting severe shortages or reporting gaps. The county's 46.5% poor/fair health rate reflects both lack of coverage and likely shortage of primary and mental health providers.
Urgent: Get covered now
If you live in Kenedy County, health insurance is not optional—37.7% uninsured is a crisis. Call 211 Texas or visit healthcare.gov immediately to explore Medicaid, marketplace plans, or community health center options before a medical emergency drains your family.
Kenedy County's composite score of 28.37 places it well below the national average, with a "Very Low" overall rating. However, hurricane risk of 73.09 creates a notable concentrated vulnerability that deserves serious attention.
Kenedy is one of Texas's safest counties
Scoring just 28.37 against the Texas state average of 49.00, Kenedy ranks among the state's lowest-risk counties. This safety advantage stems from its remote inland location, though coastal proximity brings hurricane exposure.
Kenedy vastly outpaces regional risk averages
With a score of 28.37, Kenedy is dramatically safer than Kerr County (77.16) and Kendall County (65.49) in the region. Its remote South Texas position creates exceptional insulation from most hazard types except hurricanes.
Hurricanes drive virtually all risk here
Hurricane risk of 73.09 dominates Kenedy's risk profile, while all other hazards score below 50. The county's proximity to the Gulf Coast makes tropical storm season the defining natural hazard threat.
Hurricane coverage is non-negotiable here
Homeowner's insurance with robust hurricane and wind coverage is essential; consider a separate windstorm policy from the Texas FAIR Plan if standard insurers balk. Secure outdoor items, maintain roof integrity, and establish an evacuation plan during hurricane season.
