Data Sources
Primary dataset: Philadelphia 311 service-and-information requests (public_cases_fc) via phl.carto.com. Filtered to service_name = 'Illegal Dumping', 2024 only.
Fetched at runtime through the Cloudflare Worker proxy.
Queries: dumpingByZipSql(2024) for the top-0 bar chart, dumpingAllZipsSql(2024) for the choropleth, and dumpingByDowForZipSql(2024, '') for the
day-of-week breakdown of the leader. Defined in src/lib/data/datasets/philly-311.ts.
Methodology & caveats: The curated views and the SQL playground let you slice the same data by category, date, or neighborhood. "Sunday trough" / "weekday peak" comparisons use the same per-zip day-of-week roll-up returned by the third query above. Neighborhood-name annotations for are intentional navigation cues; no neighborhood-attribute fields are joined into the queries.
