A little history

Austin Northwest in Austin. Austin, named after Stephen F. Austin and chosen as the capital of the Republic of Texas in 1839, is a city of almost a million people built around state government, the university and the technology industry. Austin Northwest is a part of the city with hill country around Lake Travis, technology suburbs, and The Domain, a shopping, office and apartment district that opened in 2007.

Notable neighborhoods in Austin Northwest include:

Lake Travis and the hills. Mansfield Dam, finished in 1942, created Lake Travis on the Colorado River. The hill country around River Place and Mansfield looks out over it, and is some of the greenest, quietest land in the race.

Technology suburbs. Anderson Mill, Avery Ranch, Jollyville and Four Points grew up around Austin's technology employers, with big master-planned neighborhoods and shopping centers along the highways.

The Domain. North Burnet and Gateway lie around The Domain, a shopping, office and apartment district that opened in 2007 and is sometimes called Austin's second downtown.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

No place is left out: every neighborhood in this race has residents to count.

Spicewood (19.7 per 1,000 from 28 crimes among 1,424 residents) and Gateway (70.2 per 1,000 from 105 crimes among 1,496 residents) are places with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so they are not named as the lowest or highest.

Neighborhood boundaries are defined by City of Austin Open Data, grouped into eight areas by CrimesLog from Austin Police Department sectors and simplified by CrimesLog. The photographs are credited under each picture.

Rates are recorded crimes per 1,000 residents, quarter by quarter; where a neighborhood has fewer than 100 residents the rate would be worked out on 100 (those places are left out of the race). A count of recorded crime is not a verdict on any neighborhood.
