Of Nueces County's $4,418,748,305, $2,405,000 is owed by 1 issuer that lists other counties too; 0 issuers that list Nueces County count in another. Total principal outstanding: principal outstanding at the fiscal year end, summed over the local governments attributed to the county. "Not reported" is never shown as zero.
