Cadillac Heights, Dallas

Cadillac Heights is a neighborhood in East Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas.[1] The neighborhood is mostly African American and Hispanic.[2] The area has historically suffered from high levels of lead pollution from the operation of nearby smelters.[3]

As of 2010 there were plans both to demolish all of Cadillac Heights,[4] and to establish the new Dallas Police Department police academy in the community.[5][6]
