Strategic Measure_EOA.C.6 Number and percentage of residents that are living in an area considered to be a Complete Community

This is a historical measure for Strategic Direction 2023. For more data on Austin demographics please visit austintexas.gov/demographics.

A resident in a complete community is someone residing in an area that is within a 20 minute walk to multiple essential destinations. Calculation method: This study measured the distance and time it takes for a pedestrian to reach five essential destination, or "indicators," from any point across the city using the existing network of sidewalks and crossings within a 20-minute walk time. Using GIS software, this evaluation resulted in a rasterized overlay of geographic outlines of “walksheds” surrounding each indicator destination. Residential estimates were found using an internal database of residential housing units and applied density assumptions and should not be compared to other demographic datasets. Data was sourced from City of Austin, CapMetro, and Austin ISD.
