2 linked sources · CheckedThe county describes a two-mile concrete, ADA-accessible trail for activities such as walking, bicycling and inline skating. The primitive hiking route is a separate experience through wooded hills and valleys; do not mistake one trail’s surface for the other’s.[1]
The hiking area passes ponds and landscapes associated with Onion Creek. The county also lists catch-and-release pond fishing, so check the park’s fishing information when that is the purpose of your visit.[1]
Southeast Metro’s current notices address construction affecting roads, parking and parts of the hiking area. The public park description and the day’s usable access are separate pieces of information.[1]

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).

Austin Public Health has scored 562 inspections at 83 facilities in ZIP 78617, averaging 91.6/100. Of those scored visits, 384 scored 90 or above, 109 scored 80–89 and 69 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.
Counting each of the 83 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 96/100, 60 currently sit at 90 or above, and 6 are below 80 (7.2% of them). That is a different measure from the visit counts above, which weigh a frequently-inspected kitchen more heavily.
5 of 83 inspected facilities. Ties are common at 100, so this is a slice of the top, not a ranking of the ZIP.
The 5 most recent of 6 facilities in 78617 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.

78617 has 4 bars and restaurants reporting $465,809 in mixed-beverage sales in August 2026, per Texas Comptroller TABC data — #30 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. That is 0.7% of the $68,286,880 reported across every Austin-area ZIP for the same month.

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 78617 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.

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 Travis County, the county ZIP 78617 sits in (99.5% 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 78617.

Across Travis County, Austin 311 has recorded 581,018 service requests spanning 61 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.
Full jobs, wages and housing figures are on the Travis County economy page.

ZIP code 78617 is in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. On this site it is grouped under Suburbs & city fringe. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.
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: 3,326 311 service requests were filed in 78617 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 502 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 20 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.

143 311 service requests in ZIP 78617 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 139 open and 4 in progress. Residents filed 3,326 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 273 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.
Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78617 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 29 hours, and nine in ten within 19 days. That is 4.3 hours slower 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.
Austin Code has opened 502 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78617, of which 20 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 8.0 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.
Austin Public Health has scored 562 inspections at 83 distinct facilities in ZIP 78617, averaging 91.6/100 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.
Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78617 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 96 out of 100 across 83 facilities. 60 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 6 at their last visit came in below 80 — 7.2% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include Del Valle ISD Early College High School (100), Popham Elementary School (100), COTA - Rev Bar 1 Main Grand Stands (100). 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 11, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
4 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78617 for August 2026, totalling $465,809 in alcohol receipts — #30 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were 80 PROOF LLC ($383,288), SANTO PATIO ($75,389), RESTAURANTES JASMINES ($6,229). "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.

No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78617 sits in Travis County, where unemployment was 3.9% in July 1, 2026 with a labor force of 877,417. A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat this as context rather than a description of 78617.
