Triangle State
Thinking about moving here? This page shows what the public record says about Triangle State: the building permits the city has geocoded inside this exact boundary, the restaurant inspections Austin Public Health has published, the venues filing mixed-beverage receipts, and the registered construction projects. Every figure below carries the date and the agency it came from.
Triangle State 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 is a single polygon in the city's file, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as TRIANGLE STATE.
What the public record says about Triangle State
- City of Austin Development Services has issued 382 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Triangle State planning-area boundary, the earliest dated December 1, 1987 and the most recent May 5, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $187,988,498. Declared value is the figure an applicant puts on the permit application — not market value and not finished cost. Counted over every issue date in the city’s Issued Construction Permits dataset (3syk-w9eu), building permits only. Placing a permit inside a boundary needs a mapped coordinate, and about one building permit in seven (13.8% of them, as published on 2026-07-26) carries no location at all — those rows cannot be placed in any neighbourhood, here or anywhere else, so this is a count of geocoded permits rather than of every permit issued. How busy it is now is a different question, and the list below is the honest answer to it: the 25 most recently issued permits here were all issued since June 22, 2022.
- The 3 most recent restaurant inspections we could place inside this boundary run from March 4, 2026 to March 23, 2026, averaging 94 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 Triangle State. A score is a single-visit snapshot.
- Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78751, 78756, 78705, 78752, 78722, 1 sit inside this boundary. The newest filing in that set is June 2026. Per-venue figures are gross receipts reported to the Comptroller, summed over each venue’s own filing months — never a total for Triangle State. 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.

Triangle State: questions people actually ask
Is Triangle State an official Austin neighborhood?
Triangle State is one of 65 City of Austin Neighborhood Planning Areas — a zoning and planning geography adopted by City Council ordinance, not a colloquial neighborhood name. 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 Triangle State boundary is a single polygon in the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.
How much construction is happening in Triangle State?
City of Austin Development Services has issued 382 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Triangle State planning-area boundary, the earliest dated December 1, 1987 and the most recent May 5, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $187,988,498. 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.
What ZIP codes cover Triangle State?
No ZIP code centroid falls inside the Triangle State boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78751, 78756, 78705, 78752, 78722. 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.
