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 39,934 311 requests and 5,017 code enforcement cases on file. Volume mostly follows population and reporting habits, not problems.

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. 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.
  • 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. Each ZIP page carries its own as-of date; this hub does not state one, because it aggregates three feeds that publish on different schedules.
