Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Thornton
The score leans hardest on 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.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Adams County average of 6.3 and in line with the Colorado statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is Hispanic or Latino and White and ranks around the 86th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 333 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 27.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 63.3% of renter households in 2004.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
