How many other 311 requests Somerville residents file each month.
How this category is defined
What counts as other: A catch-all for 311 requests that don't cleanly fit any of the above categories or use city-specific service types we haven't yet mapped. If a city's 'other' count is unusually high, it usually means that city has a fine-grained service-type taxonomy we haven't fully normalized yet.
In Somerville’s raw 311 data, the following 1 service_type are counted as other:
- Unknown/Miscellaneous
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <somerville_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'Unknown/Miscellaneous'
)Analyst tip: No positive pattern — this is where requests land when no mapping exists for the city's service_type. Look at a city's own raw feed to see the full service_type distribution and identify which unmapped types dominate the 'other' bucket.
Source & provenance
Counts on this page are derived from Somerville’s official open 311 data feed, covering January 2021 through May 1, 2026. Category assignment uses an AI-generated mapping from the city’s raw service types to a normalized cross-city category. View the underlying dataset at data.somervillema.gov.
