Austin ZIP code map
One map, 4 measures. Switch what the colours mean — they disagree with each other, which is the point. The comparison table below is the text equivalent of this map: every number the map colours by is a cell in it, so nothing here depends on the map rendering.
311 service requests filed in each of 48 Austin-area ZIP codes over the most recent 12 months of data, from City of Austin open data (dataset xwdj-i9he). Darker means more requests. Tap a ZIP for its figures and a link to its page.
311 requests, last 12 months
Raw counts, so this is partly a population map — a bigger, busier ZIP files more requests. Colour classes hold roughly equal numbers of ZIP codes (quantiles, not even intervals). Source: City of Austin 311, dataset xwdj-i9he.

Downtown’s public spaces offer several ways to read 78701: the small historic squares in the street grid, places along Shoal Creek and Lady Bird Lake, and Waterloo Greenway’s growing Waller Creek corridor. Use the named park entrances and current operator notices to plan a specific route.

The George Washington Carver Museum and adjacent Genealogy Center offer a specific cultural focus for an East Austin visit. Their work centers on African American history, culture and community, with different spaces for exhibitions and family-history research.

Barton Springs Pool is a spring-fed swimming destination within Zilker Park, with a deeper ecological story beneath the surface. Plan the swim around the City’s current visiting page and use the adjacent interpretation to understand the springs.

Garrison Pool is a specific recreation anchor at 6001 Menchaca Road, within James A. Garrison District Park. Elsewhere in 78745, the City lists smaller neighborhood parks that offer separate destinations when a swim is not the plan.

The Elisabet Ney Museum at 304 East 44th Street preserves the sculptor’s historic home and studio. The City currently reports the museum closed for renovations, so this is a place to learn about and follow through programs rather than assume a normal indoor visit.

Q2 Stadium offers different experiences on an event day and through a booked group tour. The club’s operator guidance covers mobility, sensory support and booking conditions that should be checked for the particular visit.
Open the field guideATX Things holds civic records for 48 Austin-area ZIP codes: 597,238 City of Austin 311 service requests, 75,702 code enforcement cases and 46,744 scored restaurant health inspections, all from the City of Austin Open Data Portal (datasets xwdj-i9he, 6wtj-zbtb and ecmv-9xxi). The table below puts every ZIP against every measure so you can compare them directly.
Compare Austin ZIP codes
All 48 Austin-area ZIP codes against 8 measures drawn from four agencies. Tap any column heading to rank the city by it. Nothing here scores a ZIP code overall and nothing here ranks neighbourhoods: these are four separate measurements of four separate things, and they point in different directions.
Which Austin ZIP code leads each measure
One sentence per measure, each with its number, its window and its source in it. Claims that rest on a median only count ZIP codes with a cohort large enough to support one — at least 500 311 requests for a response-time claim (10 ZIPs excluded) and at least 20 inspected establishments for an inspection-score claim (7 excluded). Excluded ZIPs still appear in the table with their real figures; they just cannot win a headline on a handful of records.
Most 311 requests
78704 files the most Austin 311 service requests of any Austin-area ZIP code — 19,547 in the most recent 12 months of data, most often about parking violation enforcement. Volume follows population and how readily people report things, not just conditions (City of Austin, dataset xwdj-i9he).
Fewest 311 requests
78669 files the fewest 311 requests of any tracked Austin ZIP — 71 in 12 months. Quiet on 311 is not the same as nothing wrong: these are the ZIPs with the fewest residents inside the city’s service area, not the fewest problems (City of Austin, dataset xwdj-i9he).
Fastest 311 response
78701 has the fastest median 311 close time in Austin — 11 hours, meaning half of the requests filed there closed sooner than that and half took longer. Counted only among ZIPs with at least 500 requests in the window (City of Austin, dataset xwdj-i9he).
Slowest 311 response
78724 waits longest for 311 — a median of 43 hours to close a request, the slowest of any Austin ZIP with a cohort large enough to measure. The figure counts only requests that have closed, so the true wait is longer (City of Austin, dataset xwdj-i9he).
Most open code cases
78741 has the most open Austin Code enforcement cases of any ZIP — 393 still open. A code case is an allegation the city opened a file on, not a proven violation (City of Austin, dataset 6wtj-zbtb).
Highest inspection scores
78617 has the highest median restaurant inspection score in Austin — 96 out of 100, the median of the most recent score of each of its 83 inspected establishments. Counted only among ZIPs with at least 20 inspected establishments (Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi).
Lowest inspection scores
78702 has the lowest median restaurant inspection score of any Austin ZIP with a real cohort — 90 out of 100, the median of the most recent score of each of its 311 inspected establishments. A score is one inspector’s snapshot of one visit, not a verdict on a neighbourhood (Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi).
Most restaurants under 80
78717 has the largest share of restaurants sitting below 80 out of 100 at their most recent inspection — 17.6% of its 108 inspected establishments. That is a share of restaurants, not of visits: each establishment counts once, at its latest score (Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi).
Biggest bar and restaurant month
78701 reported the most mixed-beverage receipts of any Austin ZIP in August 2026 — $19,477,687 across 161 venues, led by JW MARRIOTT AUSTIN. That is alcohol sales reported for tax, not total restaurant revenue (Texas Comptroller, dataset naix-2893).
Most bars and venues
78701 has the most bars, restaurants and venues filing Texas mixed-beverage returns of any Austin ZIP — 161 of them. Only businesses that serve liquor file, so this counts the drinking side of a ZIP’s food scene, not all of it (Texas Comptroller, dataset naix-2893).

What each column means
- ZIPLinks to the ZIP
- The five-digit USPS ZIP code. ZIP codes are postal delivery routes, not city or neighbourhood boundaries — several of these straddle the Austin city limit. Follow the link for that ZIP’s full page.
- AreaOur grouping
- Which part of town we file the ZIP under, for navigation only. It is this site’s editorial grouping, not an official boundary of any kind.
- 311 requestsLast 12 months
- Austin 311 service requests filed from addresses in this ZIP over the most recent 12 months of data, with duplicate reports of the same issue excluded. High volume tracks population and how readily residents report things at least as much as it tracks conditions on the ground. Source: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset xwdj-i9he.
- Median closeTime to close a 311 request
- The middle time the city took to close a 311 request in this ZIP: half were closed faster, half slower. It counts only requests that have actually closed, so a ZIP with many slow cases still open looks faster here than it is. Source: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset xwdj-i9he.
- Open code casesOpen right now
- Austin Code enforcement cases in this ZIP that are still open. A code case is an allegation the city opened a file on — not a proven violation, and not a finding against anyone. Source: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset 6wtj-zbtb.
- RestaurantsWith a scored inspection
- Distinct food establishments in this ZIP with at least one scored routine health inspection on file. This is the cohort behind the two score columns to its right — a median drawn from five restaurants is not comparable to one drawn from three hundred. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
- Median scoreOut of 100, one score per establishment
- The median of each inspected establishment’s MOST RECENT routine inspection score in this ZIP, on Austin Public Health’s 0–100 scale where 100 is a clean inspection. One vote per establishment, not per visit: a restaurant inspected four times counts once, at where it stands now. A score is one inspector’s snapshot of one visit, and inspections publish in irregular batches weeks after the visit. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
- Below 80Share of inspected establishments
- The share of this ZIP’s inspected establishments whose MOST RECENT routine inspection scored under 80 out of 100 — the band where Austin Public Health follows up. It is a share of restaurants, not of visits: one establishment inspected four times counts once, at its latest score. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
- Bars & venuesFiling mixed-beverage returns
- Bars, restaurants and venues in this ZIP that filed a Texas mixed-beverage gross-receipts return in the most recent reported month. Only businesses that serve liquor file, so this is not a count of every restaurant. Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, dataset naix-2893 on data.texas.gov.
- Bar receiptsLatest reported month
- Total mixed-beverage gross receipts reported by venues in this ZIP for the most recent month the state has published. This is alcohol sales as reported for tax, not total restaurant revenue, and the state publishes a month roughly six weeks after it ends. Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, dataset naix-2893.
Austin ZIP codes by part of town

Common questions about Austin ZIP codes
How many ZIP codes does Austin have?
This site tracks civic data for 48 Austin-area ZIP codes, spanning Travis, Williamson Counties. That is not a legal count of "Austin's ZIP codes" and no such count exists: ZIP codes are US Postal Service delivery routes, not city boundaries, so several of these straddle the city limit and serve addresses in unincorporated Travis County and neighbouring suburbs as well as inside Austin.
What is Austin’s main ZIP code?
78701 covers downtown Austin and is the ZIP most often given as the city's central one. By civic activity it is not the busiest: 78704 carries the most records of any Austin ZIP here, with 42,063 311 requests and 5,227 code enforcement cases on file. Volume mostly follows population and reporting habits, not problems.
Which Austin ZIP code has the most 311 complaints?
78704 files the most Austin 311 service requests of any Austin-area ZIP code — 19,547 in the most recent 12 months of data, most often about parking violation enforcement. Volume follows population and how readily people report things, not just conditions (City of Austin, dataset xwdj-i9he). Compare that against the rest of the city in the table on this page, which ranks all 48 tracked ZIP codes by 311 volume and lets you re-sort by response time, code cases, inspection scores or bar receipts. A high count is not evidence of a worse neighbourhood — it usually means more people, and more people who know 311 exists.
Which Austin ZIP code gets 311 requests closed fastest?
78701 has the fastest median 311 close time in Austin — 11 hours, meaning half of the requests filed there closed sooner than that and half took longer. Counted only among ZIPs with at least 500 requests in the window (City of Austin, dataset xwdj-i9he). At the other end, 78724 waits longest for 311 — a median of 43 hours to close a request, the slowest of any Austin ZIP with a cohort large enough to measure. The figure counts only requests that have closed, so the true wait is longer (City of Austin, dataset xwdj-i9he). Both figures are medians over closed requests only, and both are computed only for ZIPs with at least 500 requests in the last 12 months — 10 of the 48 tracked ZIP codes did not clear that bar and are shown in the table but left out of this comparison.
Which Austin ZIP has the best restaurant inspection scores?
78617 has the highest median restaurant inspection score in Austin — 96 out of 100, the median of the most recent score of each of its 83 inspected establishments. Counted only among ZIPs with at least 20 inspected establishments (Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi). At the other end, 78702 has the lowest median restaurant inspection score of any Austin ZIP with a real cohort — 90 out of 100, the median of the most recent score of each of its 311 inspected establishments. A score is one inspector’s snapshot of one visit, not a verdict on a neighbourhood (Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi). Only ZIP codes with at least 20 inspected establishments are compared, because a median drawn from three restaurants is not a fact about a neighbourhood; 7 ZIPs fall below that line. Scores come from Austin Public Health routine inspections (dataset ecmv-9xxi) and describe one visit to one kitchen, not a whole ZIP code.
What is the biggest ZIP code in Austin?
It depends what you mean by biggest, so here are all three answers. By land area, 78669 is the largest at about 121.7 square miles. By population, 78660 is the largest with roughly 110,955 residents at the 2020 Census. By civic activity, 78704 files the most 311 requests of any Austin ZIP. Area and population come from the Census Bureau's 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, which approximate USPS delivery areas rather than being the ZIP codes themselves.
Which Austin ZIP code has the most bars and restaurants?
78701 has the most bars, restaurants and venues filing Texas mixed-beverage returns of any Austin ZIP — 161 of them. Only businesses that serve liquor file, so this counts the drinking side of a ZIP’s food scene, not all of it (Texas Comptroller, dataset naix-2893). 78701 reported the most mixed-beverage receipts of any Austin ZIP in August 2026 — $19,477,687 across 161 venues, led by JW MARRIOTT AUSTIN. That is alcohol sales reported for tax, not total restaurant revenue (Texas Comptroller, dataset naix-2893). These figures count only businesses that hold a mixed-beverage permit and file gross-receipts returns with the Texas Comptroller, so a ZIP's coffee shops, bakeries and beer-and-wine-only restaurants are not in the count.
What data does each Austin ZIP code page show?
Each ZIP page shows 311 service request volume and the median time the city takes to close a request there (against the citywide median, computed the same way), the most-filed request types, code enforcement case counts and violation types, restaurant health inspection scores, a 12-month trend, and links to the neighbourhoods and nearby ZIPs. All of it comes from City of Austin open data.
Which Austin ZIP code is the safest?
This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any ZIP code, so it cannot rank them and does not. What the ZIP pages show is how much residents reported to 311 and how much code enforcement followed — and those counts are not a safety measure. A ZIP with more 311 requests may simply have residents who report more, and a code complaint is an allegation the city has not necessarily upheld.
Why do some Austin ZIP codes not have a page here?
A ZIP gets a full, indexed page once Austin open data holds at least 25 records for it across the three datasets, in at least two of the three. Below that there is not enough behind the numbers to characterise the ZIP, so the page still exists and still shows what little there is, but it is left out of search listings rather than published as a page of zeroes.
Where these numbers come from
- 311 service requests: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset xwdj-i9he. Counts exclude duplicate reports of the same issue. A request records that someone reported something, not that it was verified.
- Code enforcement cases: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset 6wtj-zbtb. A case is an allegation that was investigated, not a finding.
- Restaurant inspections: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi. Published in irregular batches with weeks of lag. A score is one inspector’s snapshot of one visit.
- Mixed-beverage receipts: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, dataset naix-2893, latest reported month August 2026. Alcohol sales reported for tax by permit holders — not total restaurant revenue, and not every restaurant.
- ZIP boundaries, land area and population: US Census Bureau 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas. A ZCTA approximates a USPS delivery area; it is not the ZIP code itself, and it is generalised here for display.
- This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any ZIP code, and no council-district figures — ZIP codes do not nest inside council districts. Comparisons on this page put four different measurements side by side; they do not add up to a ranking of neighbourhoods, and nothing here should be read as one. Each ZIP page carries its own as-of date; this hub does not state one, because it aggregates four feeds that publish on different schedules.
