Reading the field
This is one of the largest halos in the district by recent population gain (rank 2 of 69 for raw 5-year added). Growth is healthy (28% in five years) — the field is expanding, not flat. Demographically the halo reads as family-heavy, affluent (20% Hispanic, 26% under 18, median income $135,816). Posture: this is reach territory — substantial new arrivals, many of them families. The question is how to be visible to people who haven't found a church yet.

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.
