How this category is defined

What counts as abandoned vehicles: Reports of vehicles left unattended for extended periods on public streets or in other public spaces, including derelict cars and vehicle abatement complaints. This page shows aggregate complaint counts and trends across cities. To report an abandoned vehicle, use your city's official 311 service directly—response times and whether the vehicle is ultimately towed vary significantly by city, as the data here illustrates.

In St. Louis’s raw 311 data, the following 1 service_type are counted as abandoned vehicles:

  • Vehicle Towing

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <st._louis_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Vehicle Towing'
)

Analyst tip: Look for service_type values containing 'Abandoned' or 'Derelict' (NYC, New Orleans), 'ABANDONED AUTO' (Oakland), and Austin's 'APD - Vehicle Abatement' prefix. Chicago uses the exact string 'Abandoned Vehicle Complaint'.
