Coverage analysis
What 60 minutes covers in San Antonio.
San Antonio's loop system (410 and 1604) and radial highways produce cleanly tiered drive-time bands — but rapid northward growth into the Hill Country and along I-10 toward Boerne means trade-area templates from even a few years ago understate suburban reach.
At 60 minutes, the San Antonio isochrone captures the metro-wide reach — a regional footprint where destination-category businesses draw from a wide geographic spread. Unlike a 400–1,200 km² circle, the real road-network polygon follows San Antonio's actual highway corridors, accounts for bridge and interchange chokepoints, and respects the natural and built barriers that force drivers to detour.
Best-fit categories at 60 minutes: Distribution center, regional franchise territory, e-commerce fulfillment, hospital system, workforce housing. The 60-minute isochrone is the standard input for regional territory design and logistics network planning.
The city-level population of 1,434,625 and a median household income of $52,455 give a sense of San Antonio's economic density, but the figure that matters for site selection is the population inside the polygon — not the city as a whole. That number shifts dramatically depending on whether you're drawing from a high-density urban core or a lower-density suburban corridor.
