How this category is defined

What counts as graffiti: Requests to remove graffiti from public or private property.

In Oakland’s raw 311 data, the following 1 service_type are counted as graffiti:

  • GRAFFITI

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <oakland_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'GRAFFITI'
)

Analyst tip: Most cities use a literal 'Graffiti' or 'Graffiti Removal' string. Austin splits public vs. private property ('APH - Graffiti Abatement - Public Property' vs. 'DSD - Graffiti Abatement - Private Property'). San Francisco does the same split. Calgary uses 'Corporate - Graffiti Concerns'.
