BRIEF OVERVIEW OF COUNCIL DISTRICT 3 The city of Austin is broken into 10 districts. District 3 extends north to south from Ledesma road to just past Stassney lane, and from west to east from Vinson road to a little beyond U.S. Hwy 183. It includes neighborhoods both north and south of the Colorado River. About 80,000 people live in this district, which is 60% Hispanic/Latino. The majority of residents are between the ages of 18 and 34, and over a quarter of adults aged 25 or older have at least a Bachelor’s degree. The median family income for District 3 is $36,000, with most people living in occupied units. District 3 participates in several city boards and committees such as the Capital Metro Board of Directors and the Planning & Neighborhoods Committee. Sabino “Pio” Renteria has been District 3’s City Council member since 2015. He grew up within District 3 limits and has been active in many neighborhood organizations, including the East Austin Neighborhood Center Advisory Board, the United East Austin Coalition, and the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Planning Team.
