Daily Adult Mosquito Counts Across Winnipeg Traps

Daily adult mosquito trap data covers the City of Winnipeg and a 10 km buffer zone outside its limits. The dataset includes counts from over 30 distinct trap locations, including specific urban sectors like North West 6 and Rural zones. It is published by data.winnipeg.ca and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Model mosquito population trends over time using daily counts from specific trap columns like Rural AA or South West 3.
• Analyze spatial distribution of mosquitoes by comparing counts across urban sectors (e.g., North East Average) and rural zones (e.g., Rural EE).
• Correlate mosquito activity with public health data using trap location identifiers as spatial proxies.
• Forecast peak mosquito seasons by applying time-series analysis to the daily data from multiple trap columns.

Strengths

• Data covers over 30 distinct trap locations including urban and rural zones.
• Update frequency appears high, with a last update date in the future (2026-04-03), suggesting regular maintenance.

Limitations

• Exact geographic coordinates are unavailable due to privacy restrictions, limiting precise spatial analysis.
• Sample data and row counts are unknown, preventing assessment of dataset size and temporal depth.
