Monthly animals & pests requests

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

How this category is extracted

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 Calgary’s raw 311 feed, the following 5 service_type values roll into animals & pests:

  • AS - Animal at Large
  • AS - Animal Noise
  • AS - Pick Up Stray
  • Parks - Wildlife Management
  • Roads - Dead Animal Pick-Up

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <calgary_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'AS - Animal at Large',
  'AS - Animal Noise',
  'AS - Pick Up Stray',
  'Parks - Wildlife Management',
  'Roads - Dead Animal Pick-Up'
)

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.
