78613: Cedar Park, from the library to the park

4 linked sources · Checked Sep 5, 2026

A library destination in the Bell District

Cedar Park’s new public library is at 425 South Parkwest Drive. The city’s project page now announces the completed opening; the construction timeline farther down that page is historical.[3]

A park address to bookmark

Austin’s park directory lists Ridgeline Neighborhood Park at 2701 South Lakeline Boulevard with a 78613 mailing address. Use that address to choose your destination rather than treating the entire ZIP outline as one neighborhood.[1][2]

Choose the Cedar Park barbecue location

The operator’s location page lists Stiles Switch BBQ’s Cedar Park restaurant at 800 West Whitestone Boulevard, A-1. That is a different destination from its North Lamar restaurant and The Switch in Belterra.[4]

Plan a little better

Before you go

Use the current library page: The new-library announcement links to the main library site for visit planning and updates. Follow the current calendar when choosing programs rather than relying on old construction milestone dates.[3]
Double-check the restaurant branch: The same restaurant group lists three addresses on one page. Select Cedar Park and check its own hours before making the trip.[4]

A few things to know

Where is Cedar Park’s new library?

The city lists the new public library at 425 South Parkwest Drive, Cedar Park, TX 78613, in the Bell District.[3]

Does a 78613 address always mean an Austin city service?

No. ZIP codes organize mail delivery, while cities have their own boundaries. This guide includes both a Cedar Park library and a park listed by Austin; use the named operator for service questions.[2][1][3]

A ZCTA approximates the USPS delivery area — it is not the ZIP code itself, and nothing on this site assigns data to a ZIP using it. Restaurant points are geocoded on the Austin Public Health inspection record (dataset ecmv-9xxi).

Restaurant health inspections in 78613

Austin Public Health has scored 177 inspections at 41 facilities in ZIP 78613, averaging 89.5/100. Of those scored visits, 109 scored 90 or above, 46 scored 80–89 and 22 scored below 80. The average weighs every visit rather than every restaurant, so a facility inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag.

Where 78613’s restaurants stand today

Counting each of the 41 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 90/100, 23 currently sit at 90 or above, and 3 are below 80 (7.3% of them). That is a different measure from the visit counts above, which weigh a frequently-inspected kitchen more heavily.

Highest most-recent scores

5 of 41 inspected facilities. Ties are common at 100, so this is a slice of the top, not a ranking of the ZIP.

Most recently scored below 80

The 3 most recent of 3 facilities in 78613 whose last scored visit came in under 80.

A score under 80 records what one inspector found on one day. It is routinely corrected at the next visit, it is not a closure, and it is not a statement about the food. Open a facility to see whether its next inspection has already landed.

Only businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit file these returns, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants, coffee shops and every unlicensed kitchen in 78613 are absent from this count entirely. “Top” here means alcohol receipts reported to the state, not quality or popularity. A venue that closed keeps appearing until it stops filing, and August 2026 is the most recent month the Comptroller has published — not the current one.

Economy and county context for 78613

This site publishes no economic figures at ZIP level — no ZIP-level income, employment or business counts are held here, and none are estimated from county numbers. What follows describes Williamson County, the county ZIP 78613 sits in (93.2% of its 311 requests carry that county). A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat these figures as the surrounding context, not as a description of 78613.

Across Williamson County, Austin 311 has recorded 17,225 service requests spanning 12 ZIP codes, closing half of the last 12 months' requests within 25 hours. That corpus is City of Austin 311 only, so it counts requests made to Austin at addresses in the county — a meaningful figure for Travis, a partial one anywhere Austin is not the service provider.

Common questions about 78613

Where is 78613 located?

ZIP code 78613 is in Austin, Texas, in Williamson County. On this site it is grouped under Far north. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.

Is 78613 safe?

This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any Austin ZIP code, so it cannot answer that question and does not try to. What it can tell you is what residents reported and what the city acted on: 303 311 service requests were filed in 78613 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 11, 2026), 57 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 3 of those are still open. Report counts are not a safety rating and should not be read as one: a ZIP that files more 311 requests may simply have residents who report more, and a code complaint is an allegation the city has not necessarily upheld. Source: City of Austin open data, datasets xwdj-i9he and 6wtj-zbtb.

How many 311 requests are open in 78613?

17 311 service requests in ZIP 78613 were still open or in progress as of September 11, 2026 — 17 open and 0 in progress. Residents filed 303 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 20 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.

How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78613?

Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78613 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 13 hours, and nine in ten within 9.0 days. That is 13 hours faster than the citywide median of 25 hours. Both figures are computed the same way — median hours from opened to closed, over requests opened in the same 12-month window — which is what makes comparing them meaningful. A median describes the middle case, not the worst one. Source: City of Austin 311, dataset xwdj-i9he.

How many code enforcement cases are there in 78613?

Austin Code has opened 57 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78613, of which 3 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 25 days to resolve. A code case records an allegation that was investigated, not a finding of wrongdoing, and this site publishes no case addresses. Source: City of Austin Code Cases, dataset 6wtj-zbtb.

How many restaurants in 78613 have been inspected?

Austin Public Health has scored 177 inspections at 41 distinct facilities in ZIP 78613, averaging 89.5/100 across those visits. That average weighs every inspection equally, so a restaurant inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag, so the newest score on file is not necessarily from this week. Source: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset ecmv-9xxi.

How do restaurants in 78613 score on health inspections?

Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78613 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 90 out of 100 across 41 facilities. 23 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 3 at their last visit came in below 80 — 7.3% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include Popshelf Store #25170 (99), Inflatable Wonderland (98), Starbucks (98). This counts one score per restaurant, not one per visit, so a frequently-inspected kitchen does not pull the figure on its own. A score grades a single inspection on a single day against a checklist — it is not a rating of the food or of the restaurant, and a low score is routinely corrected on the next visit. Newest inspection on file in this ZIP: August 7, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.

What are the top bars in 78613?

53 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78613 for August 2026, totalling $1,895,715 in alcohol receipts — #7 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were FIVE FOUR RESTAURANT & DRAFTHOUSE ($173,627), THE GROVE WINE BAR AND KITCHEN ($138,583), LUPE TORTILLA MEXICAN RESTAURANT ($121,501). "Top" here means alcohol sales reported to the Texas Comptroller, not quality, popularity or crowd — and only businesses with a mixed-beverage permit file at all, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants and coffee shops are absent entirely. Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, dataset naix-2893.

What is the economy like around 78613?

No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78613 sits in Williamson County, where unemployment was 4.1% in July 1, 2026 with a labor force of 435,893. A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat this as context rather than a description of 78613. Sources: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and U.S. Census Bureau via FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis).

Where these numbers come from

311 service requests: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset xwdj-i9he. Newest request on this page: September 11, 2026. A 311 request records that someone reported something, not that the condition 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. Newest scored inspection in this ZIP: August 7, 2026. A score grades one visit on one day against a checklist; it is not a rating of a restaurant.
Mixed-beverage receipts: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, dataset naix-2893. Figures here are for August 2026, the most recent published month. Covers only businesses holding a mixed-beverage permit, and only their alcohol sales.
ZIP boundary: U.S. Census Bureau 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, generalized for display (27.7 sq mi of land in 78613). Display geometry only: no figure on this page is assigned to a ZIP by this polygon — the ZIP on every record comes from the publishing agency.
County economy: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and U.S. Census Bureau, retrieved from FRED, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. County-level only — this site holds no ZIP-level economic figures and estimates none.
Twelve-month and 30-day windows are computed when the aggregates are rebuilt each night, not at the moment you load the page. This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any ZIP, and no council-district figures — ZIP codes do not nest inside council districts.
