Reading the field
The halo is mid-pack to small by raw 5-year gain (rank 49 of 69). Demographically the halo reads as majority-Hispanic (44% Hispanic, 19% under 18, median income $74,365). Most of that growth is concentrated in Caldwell County (rural), which alone added 684 of the halo's 402 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.
