What the local data means for electrical in Manor
Manor is one of the fastest-growing Austin-metro suburbs tracked here: 23,070 people (2025 estimate), up 68.7% since 2020[2]. It covers 9.8 square miles (2,353 residents per square mile, the 6th densest), sits entirely in Travis County, in ZIP code 78653[3].
New construction arrives with 200-amp panels and room to grow; the older homes nearby are the ones where panels fill up, double-taps appear, and an EV charger triggers a load calculation.
One ZIP code covers the whole city: 78653[5].
Nearest of the other suburbs we track: Pflugerville (7.0 mi N), Hutto (12.9 mi N) and Round Rock (13.4 mi NW)[3].
Only 2% of Manor's housing dates from 1960–1979[1] (the 5th-lowest share of the 15 Austin-area suburbs we cover; nearby, Pflugerville (3%), Hutto (1%), and Round Rock (9%)), so aluminum-era wiring[6] is a minor issue; capacity — panel space, circuits, EV chargers — is the bigger one.
77% of Manor homes heat with electricity and 19% with gas[1] — the 2nd-highest share of the 15 Austin-area suburbs we cover (Pflugerville (47%), Hutto (60%), and Round Rock (47%) nearby). All-electric panels carry the heaviest loads, so EV chargers here usually start with a load calculation.
Within 10 miles of central Manor: 24 damaging-wind reports and 1 lightning-damage report in 2016–2025, the latest on May 28, 2025[4].
Ice is the other outage risk: 22 winter-storm, ice or hard-freeze days in 2016–2025[4] — worth knowing when sizing a generator or asking about whole-home surge protection.
27% of Manor's housing is from 2020 or later[1] — new enough that builder warranties still apply to many electrical defects.
Out of the 15 suburbs on this site, Manor has the 3rd-lowest median home value ($347,900)[1].
