What drives eviction risk in Thornton
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 7.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Thornton eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
