How this category is extracted
What counts as trees & parks: Tree trimming and removal, downed limbs, park maintenance, and urban forestry concerns.
In Seattle’s raw 311 feed, the following 2 service_type values roll into trees & parks:
- Overgrown Vegetation
- Parks and Recreation Maintenance
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <seattle_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'Overgrown Vegetation',
'Parks and Recreation Maintenance'
)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'.
