Monthly trees & parks requests
How many trees & parks 311 requests Austin residents file each month.
How this category is defined
What counts as trees & parks: Tree trimming and removal, downed limbs, park maintenance, and urban forestry concerns.
In Austin’s raw 311 data, the following 4 service_type values are counted as trees & parks:
- DSD - Tree and Environmental Complaint
- Park Maintenance - Grounds
- PWD - Tree Issue Right of Way
- TPW - Tree Issue Right of Way
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <austin_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'DSD - Tree and Environmental Complaint',
'Park Maintenance - Grounds',
'PWD - Tree Issue Right of Way',
'TPW - Tree Issue Right of Way'
)Analyst tip: Chicago has the richest split: 'Tree Debris Clean-Up Request', 'Tree Emergency', 'Tree Removal Inspection', and the retired 'Tree Trim Request (NO LONGER BEING ACCEPTED)' — if you're computing historical Chicago tree-trim counts, note the cutoff date. Calgary uses 'Parks - Tree Concern - GIS'. New Orleans and Somerville lump trees together with parks under 'Parks & Parkways' / 'Parks & Playgrounds'.
