South River City is one of 65 City of Austin Neighborhood Planning Areas — a zoning geography adopted by council ordinance, not a colloquial neighborhood name. Districts people name in conversation, like South Congress, Rainey Street or the Sixth Street entertainment district, are not separate areas in this dataset; they sit inside a planning area or straddle two. This boundary merges 2 polygons from the city's file, covering the sub-districts the city names FAIRVIEW PARK, TRAVIS HEIGHTS-SWISHER, adopted under ordinance 20050929-Z001, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as SOUTH RIVER CITY.
What the public record says about South River City
- This area has no usable boundary polygon in the city’s file, so we cannot count permits inside it.
- The 15 most recent restaurant inspections we could place inside this boundary run from April 13, 2026 to May 14, 2026, averaging 89 out of 100. Austin Public Health publishes these in irregular batches, historically weeks after the visit, and this page lists at most 15 — so that count is the size of our list, not the number of restaurants in South River City. A score is a single-visit snapshot.
- Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78701, 78704, 78702, 78741, 78705, 3 sit inside this boundary. The newest filing in that set is July 2026. Per-venue figures are gross receipts reported to the Comptroller, summed over each venue’s own filing months — never a total for South River City. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.
These controls filter the records already on this page. They do not re-query the agencies.

What ZIP codes cover South River City?
