Thornton Eviction Risk: Lower

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.

Against the Adams County average of 4.5, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. At $2,306 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Thornton commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10.

The filing record is not thin: 61 evictions over 5 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2006 at 10.2% of renter households.

In a typical year about 6.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.1/10. 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. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
