Local housing stock
Of the 52,250 homes in Thornton, about 18,533 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 1997; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. Most of the city is detached houses and townhomes built since the 1990s, but the manufactured homes carry their water lines under the floor, where the cold reaches first.
Climate & seasonal risk
Nights in Thornton normally fall below freezing 5 months of the year, deepest in January at 19 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; May is the wettest month at 2.52 of 16.72 inches a year, rain recorded at THORNTON 2.1 N 0.8 miles away and temperatures at NORTHGLENN 4.1 miles away. January brings the coldest nights here, and in a mobile home the difference between a cold night and a frozen line is the condition of the skirting.
