North Shoal Creek is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin neighborhood-planning boundary dataset. Its status in the saved source is plan approved. Inclusion in this file does not by itself mean a neighborhood plan was adopted. Well-known districts such as South Congress, Rainey Street and the Sixth Street entertainment district are not separate areas in this dataset; they sit inside a planning area, or straddle two. The North Shoal Creek boundary is a single polygon in the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.
City of Austin ordinance number 20180823-082 is recorded against this planning area in the city's Neighborhood Planning Areas dataset, with planning status plan approved.
City of Austin Development Services has issued 2,802 building permits that it has geocoded inside the North Shoal Creek planning-area boundary, the earliest dated July 1, 1977 and the most recent September 30, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $386,726,811. Declared value is the figure the applicant put on the permit application, not market value or finished cost. Counted from the city's Issued Construction Permits dataset (3syk-w9eu), building permits only, over every issue date in that dataset. The boundary test needs a mapped coordinate, and about one building permit in seven (13.8% as published on 2026-07-26) carries no location, so those rows cannot be placed in any neighbourhood and are not in this figure.
No ZIP code centroid falls inside the North Shoal Creek boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78757, 78758, 78759, 78731, 78756. We match ZIP codes to planning areas by testing each ZIP's centroid against the boundary polygon, so a large ZIP can overlap an area without its centre landing inside it. Use the boundary, not the ZIP, as the authority.
