Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Thornton

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.9/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 26.5% against 11.3% nationally.

At $1,413 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Thornton commands. Against the Adams County average of 4.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. Cost burden runs 56% here against 50.4% across Adams County.

The filing record is not thin: 970 evictions over 5 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2006 at 23.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 17.1% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
