Monthly animals & pests requests

How many animals & pests 311 requests Baltimore residents file each month.

How this category is defined

What counts as animals & pests: Complaints about loose, injured, or dead animals on public property; dog bites; wildlife concerns (coyotes, raccoons); and rodent or pest sightings.

In Baltimore’s raw 311 data, the following 2 service_type values are counted as animals & pests:

  • HLTH-Animal In Danger/Injured/Abused/Neglected
  • SW-Rat Rubout Proactive

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <baltimore_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'HLTH-Animal In Danger/Injured/Abused/Neglected',
  'SW-Rat Rubout Proactive'
)

Analyst tip: Austin prefixes everything 'Animal Protection - ...'. Calgary uses 'AS -' for animal services and also files rodent calls under 'Parks - Wildlife Management'. NYC does not currently have a dedicated animal service_type in our mapping — rodent and wildlife complaints land under building or street categories in that city.
