Monthly graffiti requests

How many graffiti 311 requests San Francisco residents file each month.

How this category is defined

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

In San Francisco’s raw 311 data, the following 2 service_type values are counted as graffiti:

  • Graffiti Private
  • Graffiti Public

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <san_francisco_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Graffiti Private',
  'Graffiti Public'
)

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'.
