Questions, answered briefly

How many problem reports does Christchurch have on record?

474,466 across 20 recurring problem kinds, every one filed by a resident through the council’s reporting channel.

What is Christchurch’s most-reported problem?

Graffiti & tagging, 155,291 reports on record.

Where does this record come from?

Christchurch City Council’s public reports layer, resident-filed reports read directly. A report is somebody’s word the problem was there: counts describe reporting, not verified inspections or fixes.

Counts are reports filed through the council’s channel since 2015, each links to that problem’s own record.

What this actually is

These come from Snap Send Solve and the council’s own reporting form: a member of the public, a photograph, a location and some free text. On the mixed feed they are capped at thirty per cent of the page, because there are hundreds a day and everything else arrives by the handful, without a cap the front page is just this, with occasional guests. This page is where the cap comes off. It is served from our own archive rather than the council API: the same rows, four hundred and seventy thousand of them back to May 2015, answered in about fifteen milliseconds against the council’s nine seconds cold.

Read live from Christchurch City Council, Snap Send Solve, via the chch.live archive. This page refreshes itself every minute while the tab is open.
