Monthly potholes & roads requests

How many potholes & roads 311 requests St. Louis residents file each month.

How this category is defined

What counts as potholes & roads: Potholes, failing pavement, road resurfacing requests, traffic-control issues, and (in winter cities) snow and ice control for roadways.

In St. Louis’s raw 311 data, the following 4 service_type values are counted as potholes & roads:

  • Potholes - Major St
  • Potholes - Residnl
  • Snow/Ice - Residnl
  • Street, alley, or sidewalk cave-in or depression

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <st._louis_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Potholes - Major St',
  'Potholes - Residnl',
  'Snow/Ice - Residnl',
  'Street, alley, or sidewalk cave-in or depression'
)

Analyst tip: Austin prefixes with 'TPW -' for Transportation and Public Works ('TPW - Pothole Repair', 'TPW - Pavement Failure'). Calgary uses 'Roads -' as its prefix and includes 'Roads - Snow and Ice Control' here — if you're analyzing a Canadian city, expect winter months to dominate this category. Chicago splits 'Alley Pothole Complaint' from 'Pothole in Street Complaint'. NYC uses the single catch-all 'Street Condition'.
