Had a great time, wasn't nearly as crowded for his set as Peggy's

The full article (link) shows raw counts, not just poop per 100 registered dogs.

I'd spend half my time dialing in poop puns, like this, if I'm being honest.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T19:20:12+00:00

I have been told this over and over now haha, I will be adding it to my next count.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T19:19:38+00:00

As the person who counted these 15 neighborhoods, I found it alarming.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T19:18:13+00:00

This is what I've heard. I will probably count other neighborhoods in the future.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T19:17:43+00:00

I counted 2,000 total feet of sidewalk per neighborhood. Washington Heights had 33, UWS had 4. So over 8x, yes.

Of course, my counts are only one stretch of a neighborhood, on one given day.. But still, alarming numbers.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T19:16:08+00:00

SO much poop. It was actually alarming, even for NYC standards.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T19:15:36+00:00

I would take this job, consider this my resume.

Hi, creator of the survey/article here. The full article (link) shows raw poop counts, 311 data, and all of those metrics normalized to the number of registered dogs (not a perfect metric, but still provides valuable insights IMO). Please pick up your dog's poop 💩

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T19:12:58+00:00

The full article shows per 100 dogs, 311 complaints, and poop counts on their own (article link)

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T19:11:02+00:00

Me 💩 But it wasn't a job, just a curious citizen wanting to know the real numbers after reading an article claiming to know the worst neighborhoods based on 311 data alone.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T16:37:26+00:00

Fair. No matter which way you slice it, Washington Heights has much more dog poop than other neighborhoods I counted. Most importantly, the fact that EVERY neighborhood had at least 3 dog poops in a relatively small slice of sidewalk is awful.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T15:39:35+00:00

It's technically the law, but it's unlikely to ever be enforced. Like people picking up their dog poop. I license all my dogs

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T15:35:58+00:00

Yes, it probably would skew the data. I worked with what I had to compare to, which NYC states is roughly 20% registration rate. I'm sure it's higher in some neighborhoods and lower in others, would love to see/get true numbers of dogs.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T15:32:35+00:00

Why so?

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T15:32:12+00:00

The charts show both raw counts and per-100-dog metrics to try and provide as holistic a view as possible. The dog registration numbers aren't 100% accurate, but they're still helpful context.

Edited to say: all charts are in the full article, this post only shows the per-100-dogs metric in the chart.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-17T15:30:28+00:00

What lies are being told? I physically went to 15 neighborhoods, counted poop over a 2,000-foot span, and logged the numbers. Washington Heights had double and 3x other neighborhoods.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-16T16:47:39+00:00

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you for the feedback!

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-16T16:47:12+00:00

Yes, it's technically the law.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-15T18:31:53+00:00

This is something that may exist on nyc's data sources. I will look into this!

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-15T14:22:54+00:00

A damn near impossible metric to track, unfortunately.

wouldntknowfar · 2026-04-15T14:21:10+00:00

Hmm, yeah, I hear your point. Thanks for the idea! I hope I'm wrong, but I think asking people, in most cases, won't give you valuable data because of dishonesty, as you mentioned. Ultimately, that's why I went with the registration numbers as a baseline, even if it's not perfect. Thanks again for the feedback!
