4 linked sources · CheckedThe City trail directory identifies the Balcones District Park Trail as shared use for hiking and biking. That specific route is a better starting point than assuming every path in the surrounding green space has the same designation.[4]
The pool page lists a 25-yard, six-lane outdoor recreational pool with shade structures, a chair lift, changing facilities and a covered shower. Check the seasonal operating notice before treating those amenities as available today.[2]
Austin lists Great Hills Neighborhood Park at 10801 Sierra Oaks and Hubert C. Schroeter Neighborhood Park at 11701 Big Trail. These addresses describe different destinations, even though they share the postal listing.[1]
The City lists it at 12017 Amherst Drive, Austin, TX 78759, the same street address used for Balcones District Park.[2]

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 1,482 inspections at 238 facilities in ZIP 78759, averaging 91.3/100. Of those scored visits, 1,016 scored 90 or above, 351 scored 80–89 and 115 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 238 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 92/100, 156 currently sit at 90 or above, and 28 are below 80 (11.8% of them). That is a different measure from the visit counts above, which weigh a frequently-inspected kitchen more heavily.
5 of 238 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 28 facilities in 78759 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.

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 78759 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 78759 sits in (98.4% 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 78759.

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.

ZIP code 78759 is in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. On this site it is grouped under North Austin. 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: 8,511 311 service requests were filed in 78759 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 1,742 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 89 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.
528 311 service requests in ZIP 78759 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 508 open and 20 in progress. Residents filed 8,511 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 704 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.
Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78759 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 25 hours, and nine in ten within 13 days. That is about level with 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 1,742 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78759, of which 89 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 4.0 days to resolve. 149 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.
Austin Public Health has scored 1,482 inspections at 238 distinct facilities in ZIP 78759, averaging 91.3/100 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 78759 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 92 out of 100 across 238 facilities. 156 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 28 at their last visit came in below 80 — 11.8% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include Potbelly Sandwich Works (100), Canteen@National Instruments (100), Barnes & Noble Book & Cafe (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 19, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
34 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78759 for August 2026, totalling $1,693,967 in alcohol receipts — #8 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were HOSPITALITY INTERNATIONAL, INC. ($171,548), BULEVAR ($151,104), ROARING FORK AUSTIN STONELAKE, LLC ($118,670). "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: 78759 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 78759.
