Reading the field
The halo is mid-pack to small by raw 5-year gain (rank 64 of 69). The halo is essentially flat (-0.5% in five years). Neither headwind nor tailwind from local population change. Demographically the halo reads as substantially Hispanic (32% Hispanic, 18% under 18, median income $104,555). Posture: existing-member depth and retention matter more than reach in a flat-or-shrinking halo of this size.

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.
