12-month frequency comparison
- October 2024–September 2025
- 50
- October 2025–September 2026
- 149
- Change in monthly mean
- +8.25
The two windows each contain 12 complete covered months. The magnitude of the change is 2.98-fold. These are published requests, not a population-adjusted rate. Fixed windows do not establish a breakpoint, remove all seasonal effects or prove a renewal explanation.
Celeration turns: changes between fitted phases
A factor describes a standardized six-month multiplier, not a count. These turns passed the scan’s volume and magnitude gates; phase selection remains exploratory.
- Suggested boundary July 2024: ÷1.01 → ×2 per six months; 2.02× change between factors. Adjacent raw phase totals: 161 and 201. The fitted slope signs reverse.

Interpretation and limitations (13)
- Exploratory description, not a forecast, causal explanation or proof of a change.
- Approximate 95% factor intervals assume independent, constant-variance log residuals and fixed boundaries. They do not account for boundary search, serial dependence or source revisions.
- Confirmed zeros are treated as 1 only for fitting and its diagnostics. Raw counts stay zero; low-count results depend on this convention.
- Independent phase lines may jump at boundaries. Every observation belongs to exactly one phase.
- Reporting, classifications and seasonality can change. Counts are not population-adjusted; a level shift without a slope change is not the target of this search.
- Uses dated last-good cached data, not newly verified source counts.
- 22 confirmed zeros fitted as 1; raw counts remain zero. Low-count trends are sensitive to this adjustment.
- Boundary ranges show near-optimal models within 2 BIC units, not confidence intervals. They can be narrow even when the model is uncertain.
- At least one factor interval includes 1; its direction is uncertain under this approximation.
- 311 status is its value at retrieval, not at request creation. Newer cohorts have had less time to close; Open/Canceled comparisons can reflect workflow or cohort age rather than changing request volume.
- Current-system 311 coverage starts in 2019. Early phases may reflect adoption/reporting ramp-up; request counts are not completed work or incident prevalence.
- Many dependent filter conditions were searched. No multiple-testing-adjusted significance or causal attribution is claimed.
- Frequency compares fixed equal-length windows of raw counts, not population risk or a celeration-factor ratio. Reporting, classifications and exposure may have changed.

- Source note
- Source v6vf-nfxy. Joint day/category/hour/applicable-flag/ward/status counts; no addresses, coordinates or incident identifiers. Each year's cells reconcile with an independent source total. Reads are not an atomic publisher snapshot. Current 311 system only, legacy_record=false; includes duplicate requests, not completed work. Status is as currently published, grouped by creation date—not historical status or completion date. Prepared daily community-area snapshot; scheduled rebuild at 06:00 America/Chicago. Full supported history is rechecked for corrections. Retrieval timestamps are preserved; this is not a real-time feed. Local indexed neighborhood snapshot. Totals are for the loaded area before other filters, not citywide totals. Citywide and unassigned-area views use a separate network-backed scope.
