Thornton Eviction Risk: Lower

At $2,690 a month, rents run 42% over what the rest of Thornton commands. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.

The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The voucher gap is 25.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Against the Adams County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. Court records carry 22 eviction filings across 4 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2017, when 5.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 27.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the CO average is 4.9, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
