West Austin = everything west of Mopac, down to around the Westlake area
Obviously, these are not the working definitions of most.

I think your categories are somewhat dated. I would suggest a new category for North Central Austin. There is so much going on in the areas north of campus and up to 183, and these developments and changing neighborhoods are pretty well integrated by road, transit, and customary usage with what you refer to as Central Austin. With regards to South Austin, it seems to me that there is kind of an "Old South Austin" which is the area between downtown and Ben White (or maybe William Cannon?), and there is the newer South Austin which fans out beyond Ben White.
