Cherokee, San Saba County · 116 Main St., Cherokee, TX 76832
No census-tract population centroid falls within 10 miles of this church. The nearest population-weighted centroid is 13.5 miles away.
This is a real finding, not a data gap: the church sits in a county where population is dispersed across very large rural tracts, and the population-weighted centroid of each tract lands in a distant town. A halo-style aggregate isn't a meaningful description of this church's immediate context. Direct ground-truth knowledge of the surrounding community is more useful here than tract-level Census aggregates.
These briefings are generated from ACS 5-year estimates (2018 → 2023) and the Rio Texas conference church audit. They're descriptive — they show the demographic field around a church — not prescriptive about what a church ought to do.
