OUT OF DATEWhat this page does not publish
These are the readings San Marcos does not get, and the reason in each case. We would rather name a gap than fill it with a number measured somewhere else.
- Building permits
- San Marcos does not publish building-permit data. We measure permit activity for Austin and San Antonio because those cities publish it as open data; San Marcos issues its own permits and does not. There is no figure to show here.
- Cooling load
- No weather station in San Marcos publishes a 1991–2020 climate normal. The two stations that carry the city's name report daily weather but no 30-year normal, and the nearest station that does is 12.9 miles away in another county — far enough that the reading would describe that place rather than this one. So no cooling-load figure is published for San Marcos.
