Thornton Eviction Risk: Moderate

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. Court records carry 50 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

Average gross rent is $2,116, 12% above the Thornton average. The worst year on record was 2004, when 18.5% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 8.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
