78753: Walnut Creek trails, with the missing links made clear
The Walnut Creek Trail System connects several parts of Austin, but its complete north-to-east network remains a project. For a 78753 outing, distinguish open sections and local park entrances from the lines shown in the long-term plan.
The City identifies completed northern and southern trail sections, with the northern route extending from Balcones District Park to Oakbrook Drive. Those endpoints help explain what is available without claiming the entire future network is continuous.[2]
02
Connections remain in progress
The City lists the Interstate 35 crossing, Copperfield Connector, Pioneer Hill and Northern Springdale sections as work in progress. A route through all of them should not be treated as an already completed ride.[2]
03
Local parks provide specific destinations
Austin’s directory lists Copperfield Neighborhood Park at 1425 East Yager Lane and Barwood Neighborhood Park at 606 Barwood Park. These named addresses give local reference points without claiming they are current trail-network connections.[1]
Plan a little better
Before you go
Plan around completed segments
Use the City’s current trail status and project maps before planning a through-route. Do not infer a usable connection from the ultimate network illustration.[2]
Choose an entrance as well as a destination
A long trail system crosses multiple areas. Match the open segment with an actual access point rather than navigating to a ZIP-code center.[2]
A few things to know
Is the full planned Walnut Creek network complete?+
No. The City identifies open northern and southern sections and several connecting sections still in progress. Read its current project status before planning a continuous route.[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]

What 78753 calls 311 about
The 8 most-filed request types in ZIP 78753, all time. Together they account for 12,241 of the 25,367 requests ever recorded there — the rest are spread across dozens of smaller categories, so this is a top slice and not a full breakdown.

Austin Public Health has scored 2,680 inspections at 353 facilities in ZIP 78753, averaging 90.1/100. Of those scored visits, 1,625 scored 90 or above, 810 scored 80–89 and 245 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 78753’s restaurants stand today
Counting each of the 353 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 92/100, 218 currently sit at 90 or above, and 42 are below 80 (11.9% 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 353 inspected facilities. Ties are common at 100, so this is a slice of the top, not a ranking of the ZIP.
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.
78753 has 24 bars and restaurants reporting $588,104 in mixed-beverage sales in August 2026, per Texas Comptroller TABC data — #28 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. That is 0.9% 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 78753 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.
1 City of Austin neighborhood planning area has a boundary containing the centroid of ZIP 78753. 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 “78753 contains” or “is inside”. The test here is a single point — the ZIP’s centroid — so a planning area covering the edge of 78753 but not its middle will be missing from this list.
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 78753
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 78753 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 78753.

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.
Ranked by distance between ZIP centroids, so these are the nearest centres rather than a strict list of bordering ZIPs — a large ZIP can share a border and still sit further out on this measure.
ZIP code 78753 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 78753 centroid include North Lamar. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.
Is 78753 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: 11,191 311 service requests were filed in 78753 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 4,728 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 235 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 78753?
616 311 service requests in ZIP 78753 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 599 open and 17 in progress. Residents filed 11,191 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 800 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.
How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78753?
Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78753 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 29 hours, and nine in ten within 20 days. That is 3.7 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.
How many code enforcement cases are there in 78753?
Austin Code has opened 4,728 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78753, of which 235 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 7.0 days to resolve. 942 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 78753 have been inspected?
Austin Public Health has scored 2,680 inspections at 353 distinct facilities in ZIP 78753, averaging 90.1/100 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 78753 score on health inspections?
Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78753 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 92 out of 100 across 353 facilities. 218 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 42 at their last visit came in below 80 — 11.9% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include McDonald's at Parmer & Dessau (100), Hang Fung Ginseng (100), Canteen @ Lowes #1725 (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 78753?
24 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78753 for August 2026, totalling $588,104 in alcohol receipts — #28 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were RODEO ($121,591), LITTLE WOODROW'S ($107,192), PINSTACK ($63,980). "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 78753?
No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78753 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 78753.
