78752: St. John’s services and a neighborhood park in transition

3 linked sources · Checked Sep 5, 2026

A historic community reference

The City describes the St. John site near Interstate 35 and St. John Avenue within a neighborhood whose African American community history dates to the 1890s. That history informs the adopted redevelopment vision.[2]

A planned larger neighborhood park

The City reports plans to expand the existing pocket park into an approximately four-acre neighborhood park with new amenities. The current notice says the pocket park closed in July 2026 for redevelopment; future features should not be presented as open.[2]

Neighborhood centers offer practical help

Austin Public Health’s neighborhood-center program describes food assistance, job-search help and other services. Check the St. John center listing and current service requirements before making a visit.[1]

Plan a little better

Before you go

Check construction status before a park outing: Read the City’s St. John redevelopment updates. A concept illustration or planned splash pad is not confirmation that the new park has opened.[2]
Confirm the service process first: The neighborhood-center page explains that some assistance requires a separate request process. Contact the program for the service you need rather than assuming every request is handled as a walk-in.[1]

A few things to know

Is the expanded St. John park already open?

The current City redevelopment page describes it as planned and reports the existing pocket park closed during construction. Check project updates for opening information.[2]

Does a ZIP code describe an exact neighborhood boundary?

No. Postal ZIP codes organize mail delivery. Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas are generalized statistical geographies, and neither should replace a neighborhood boundary or a specific park entrance.[3]

Restaurant health inspections in 78752

Austin Public Health has scored 1,179 inspections at 217 facilities in ZIP 78752, averaging 90.5/100. Of those scored visits, 740 scored 90 or above, 298 scored 80–89 and 141 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 78752’s restaurants stand today

Counting each of the 217 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 93/100, 151 currently sit at 90 or above, and 7 are below 80 (3.2% 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 217 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 5 most recent of 7 facilities in 78752 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.

Bars and restaurants in 78752

78752 has 31 bars and restaurants reporting $1,927,106 in mixed-beverage sales in August 2026, per Texas Comptroller TABC data — #6 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. That is 2.8% 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 78752 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.

Neighborhoods in and around 78752

1 City of Austin neighborhood planning area has a boundary containing the centroid of ZIP 78752. These two geographies do not nest. A planning area can straddle several ZIPs and a ZIP can cover parts of several planning areas, so read this as “overlaps”, never as “78752 contains” or “is inside”. The test here is a single point — the ZIP’s centroid — so a planning area covering the edge of 78752 but not its middle will be missing from this list.

St. John78752 is the only Austin ZIP whose centroid falls in this planning area

Boundaries: City of Austin neighborhood planning areas. Overlap is computed by point-in-polygon against each ZIP’s centroid, which is a coarse test and is the reason this list is short.

Economy and county context for 78752

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 78752 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 78752.

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.

Common questions about 78752

Where is 78752 located?

ZIP code 78752 is in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. On this site it is grouped under North Austin. City of Austin neighborhood planning areas whose boundary contains the 78752 centroid include St. John. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.

Is 78752 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: 5,136 311 service requests were filed in 78752 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 2,605 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 106 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 78752?

290 311 service requests in ZIP 78752 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 282 open and 8 in progress. Residents filed 5,136 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 353 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.

How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78752?

Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78752 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 24 hours, and nine in ten within 19 days. That is 1.2 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 78752?

Austin Code has opened 2,605 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78752, of which 106 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 6.0 days to resolve. 467 cases are flagged as related to Austin's Repeat Offender Program for multifamily properties. 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 78752 have been inspected?

Austin Public Health has scored 1,179 inspections at 217 distinct facilities in ZIP 78752, averaging 90.5/100 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 78752 score on health inspections?

Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78752 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 93 out of 100 across 217 facilities. 151 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 7 at their last visit came in below 80 — 3.2% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include Brown Elementary (100), Drury Inn (100), Plucker's Linc, LLC (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 25, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.

What are the top bars in 78752?

31 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78752 for August 2026, totalling $1,927,106 in alcohol receipts — #6 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were OJOS LOCOS SPORTS CANTINA ($882,697), THE YELLOW ROSE ($162,814), MARIO'S SEAFOOD ($149,324). "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 78752?

No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78752 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 78752.
