311 requests down 5% vs a typical Friday — 6,082 filed across LA
Angelenos filed 6,082 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 5% against a typical Friday (median of the last 8 Fridays: 6,434). 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 (1,731), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,072), Item Pickups (954).
Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 191 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 134 requests.
The ground moved 48 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.3 46 km WSW of Carlsbad, CA.
