This is late but this is what will happen; NPCs will move out if the corruption is too close, Eaters will spawn (and Corruptors if you're on hardmode, as well as other nasties), and if your base is made out of corruptible blocks (i.e. Stone blocks) it'll corrupt your base. If you're on hardmode it's a good idea to use the Clentaminator to purify it or replace it with The Hallow. The Hallow is still dangerous/is equally as annoying but it won't make NPCs move out if it gets nearby. Plus there aren't any of those worm creatures that spawn in the Corruption that swarm near your house and are really annoying (I think they're called Diggers)
