A typical Monday for 311 — 8,622 requests filed across LA
Angelenos filed 8,622 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 3% against a typical Monday (median of the last 8 Mondays: 8,844). We compare like weekdays with like — a raw week-over-week number would mostly measure the weekend dip, not the news.
The city's loudest asks: Information-Only (2,256), Item Pickups (2,046), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,747).
Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 243 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 139 requests.
The ground moved 60 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M1.9 15 km N of Cabazon, CA.
