East Austin is the biggest district in this directory by a wide margin, and that is a data fact rather than an opinion: it has the most tagged places of any of our twelve areas. The reason is geography. The area we count runs from the river up past Manor Road, and from I-35 out to roughly Chicon and beyond, which takes in East 6th, East 7th, East Cesar Chavez, East 11th and East 12th.

Those streets do different jobs. East 6th and East 7th carry most of the bars and music rooms. East Cesar Chavez has a run of coffee and food. East 11th and 12th are the historic commercial spine of the old Black and Mexican-American East Side, and the change on those blocks over the last twenty years is the most argued-about subject in the city.

Our pull uses a 1.6 km radius here, the widest on the site, because the district really is that spread out. A few places near the northern edge may sit closer to Mueller; a few near the river may belong to Rainey Street in your head. The listings say which centroid each one was nearest to.

What is missing from this page

Our pull found no swimming holes and pools and farmers markets inside the 1.6 km East Austin radius. That means none are tagged that way in OpenStreetMap within it, which is a limit of the map data and of our district boundaries; it does not mean none exist.

Each district is defined by a center point and a radius, listed on the editorial policy page, and every place is assigned to the district whose center is nearest. Places near an edge can land on a neighbor's page. The three closest districts to East Austin are Rainey Street, Travis Heights, South Congress.
