How this category is defined
What counts as service inquiries: Calls and submissions logged as informational inquiries, status checks, or general questions about city services rather than reports of problems requiring a field response. High counts here typically indicate a city's 311 system captures all resident contacts, not just actionable service requests.
In Los Angeles’s raw 311 data, the following 3 service_type values are counted as service inquiries:
- Feedback
- Information-Only
- Program Research
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <los_angeles_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'Feedback',
'Information-Only',
'Program Research'
)Analyst tip: Chicago's '311 INFORMATION ONLY CALL' is the single largest contributor — roughly 1 million rows. Edmonton files informational contacts under 'General Information', 'General Inquiry', 'Routes and Schedules', 'Tax Account - Inquiries/Requests', and related types. Baltimore uses 'ECC-Information Request'. Somerville logs them as 'Information - Various Other', 'Information - Parking', and 'Information - DPW'. Philadelphia uses 'Information Request' with descriptive subtypes. Calgary uses department-prefixed inquiry types (AT - Property Tax, CT - Bus Route, etc.). Not all cities publish this category — cities that only log actionable service requests will show zero rows here.
