No, it is listed but not participating. Thornton appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Thornton, city of, community 050292, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Thornton.
Is zoning published for Thornton?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
