Methodology and source limits

Reporting systems, categories, response programs and willingness to report differ between cities. Counts are reports, not measured rodent populations.

Counts Improve Detroit issues with the request type Rodent Extermination. Improve Detroit is the city's resident reporting app.

The Improve Detroit item lists no reuse license, so data downloads are held.

The per-capita denominator is the Census city population, not metro-area or county population. The 2025 population estimate is 649,095, from Vintage 2025.

Inspect the source register, transformations and validation notes.
