10 miles of this church. A descriptive snapshot of the
demographic field at the church's doorstep — not exclusive territory.

Reading the field
The halo is mid-pack to small by raw 5-year gain (rank 45 of 69). Most of that growth is concentrated in Burnet County (rural), which alone added 1,568 of the halo's 1,292 new residents — keep that geography in view when planning outreach.

Reading this briefing
A halo is every census tract whose population-weighted centroid
sits within 10 straight-line miles of the church location.
"Pop-weighted income" averages tract median household income, weighting
each tract by its population. Tracts where ACS suppresses median income
(small samples) are excluded from this average.
The same tract can sit inside multiple churches' halos — overlapping
halos describe shared mission fields, not exclusive territory.
