What it’s like
The place. Cockrell Hill is a small city that sits entirely within Dallas County, in the middle of the Dallas area. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than is typical across the country. Winters are mild and brief, with January the coldest month and still well above freezing by day, while summers turn hot, especially in August, and rain and the odd bit of melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in the building trades, in transport, warehouses and utilities, in shops, and in professional and business services. Several of the largest workplaces in Cockrell Hill deal in food, including Taylor Farms Texas, which prepares fresh cut vegetables, and Dairyland Produce, a fresh produce wholesaler. Few people work from home, and the typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. Several well-known Dallas sights are a short drive away. The Dallas Zoo is close by, and so is the Dallas Museum of Art. The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza is also a short drive, and the Trinity River is nearby for time outdoors. For a football or baseball game, AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field are a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Cockrell Hill’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Dallas County and the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metro.
