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). Bars are not plotted: the Comptroller publishes no venue coordinates, so they are listed below instead.

Austin Public Health has scored 47 inspections at 7 facilities in ZIP 78742, averaging 95.5/100. Of those scored visits, 41 scored 90 or above, 2 scored 80–89 and 4 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 7 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 98/100, 6 currently sit at 90 or above, and 0 are below 80 (0% of them). That is a different measure from the visit counts above, which weigh a frequently-inspected kitchen more heavily.
5 of 7 inspected facilities. Ties are common at 100, so this is a slice of the top, not a ranking of the ZIP.
No facility in 78742 scored below 80 at its most recent inspection. That describes the most recent visit on file for each one, not every visit ever made.

78742 has 1 bar or restaurant reporting $33,326 in mixed-beverage sales in August 2026, per Texas Comptroller TABC data — #46 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. That is 0.0% 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 78742 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 78742 sits in (100% 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 78742.

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 78742 is in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. On this site it is grouped under South & Southeast. 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: 300 311 service requests were filed in 78742 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 116 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 11 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.

19 311 service requests in ZIP 78742 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 19 open and 0 in progress. Residents filed 300 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 31 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.
Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78742 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 40 hours, and nine in ten within 23 days. That is 15 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 116 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78742, of which 11 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 11 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 47 inspections at 7 distinct facilities in ZIP 78742, averaging 95.5/100 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.
Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78742 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 98 out of 100 across 7 facilities. 6 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 0 at their last visit came in below 80 — 0% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include Tierra Todun (100), DISTANTRELATIVES LLC (100), Cafe Nenai (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: March 10, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
1 business holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78742 for August 2026, totalling $33,326 in alcohol receipts — #46 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were CROW BAR ($33,326). "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: 78742 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 78742.
