To assist Council Members and residents in understanding what is important to people in their neighborhood, we have initiated a data driven approach, to serve New Yorkers better. We have brought together a variety of data sources (311, Constituent Services, Census) to understand what New Yorkers care about and how they live in their neighborhoods and city-wide.

This strategy goes hand in hand with the important intuitive and nuanced understanding Council Members and residents have about our neighborhoods, to form a fuller picture of what matters most to residents.

NYC 311 provides access to non-emergency City services and information about City government programs. NYC 311 is available online and by phone.

The most recent 311 service requests calls this year, showing the most recent 100,000 requests, can show the top call types New Yorkers have placed most recently.
