Monthly trees & parks requests

How many trees & parks 311 requests San Diego residents file each month.

How this category is extracted

What counts as trees & parks: Tree trimming and removal, downed limbs, park maintenance, and urban forestry concerns.

In San Diego’s raw 311 feed, the following 3 service_type values roll into trees & parks:

  • Parks Issue
  • Tree Maintenance
  • Vegetation Encroachment

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <san_diego_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Parks Issue',
  'Tree Maintenance',
  'Vegetation Encroachment'
)

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'.
