The Creeks at Windmill Hill is a 4-tract neighborhood of Cedar Hill, TX, population 14,331. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 42%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs 64% against 37.1% citywide, putting The Creeks at Windmill Hill 26.8% over its own city. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10.

The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.2, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10.

Average gross rent is $1,819, 9% below the Cedar Hill average of $1,993. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $91,091. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
