Monthly trees & parks requests

How many trees & parks 311 requests New Orleans 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 New Orleans’s raw 311 data, the following 3 service_type values are counted as trees & parks:

  • Hurricane Francine Tree-Related Issues or Emergencies
  • New Orleans Recreation Development Commission (NORDC)
  • Parks & Parkways

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <new_orleans_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Hurricane Francine Tree-Related Issues or Emergencies	',
  'New Orleans Recreation Development Commission (NORDC)',
  'Parks & Parkways'
)

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'.
