Common questions about 78747
Where is 78747 located?
ZIP code 78747 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.
Is 78747 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: 5,128 311 service requests were filed in 78747 in the most recent 12 months of data (through August 5, 2026), 445 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.

Where these numbers come from
- 311 service requests: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset xwdj-i9he. Newest request on this page: August 5, 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.
- 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.
