Pothole Repairs in Winnipeg with Material Weight and Location Data

Records of pothole repairs performed by the City of Winnipeg's Public Works Department, last updated on October 29, 2025. The dataset includes the number of potholes filled, material weight used, and location details for maintenance activities. Data is aggregated from the data.winnipeg.ca platform via Socrata.

Use Cases

• Analyze repair frequency and material usage by Neighbourhood or Electoral Ward using the Potholes and Weight in KG columns.
• Map pothole repair density and identify high-priority streets using the Street Name, From Street, To Street, and Location columns.
• Track maintenance workload over time by aggregating the Potholes or Weight in Tonnes columns by the Task Date.
• Correlate infrastructure activity with administrative boundaries using Block ID, Electoral Ward, and Neighbourhood columns.

Strengths

• Includes a calculated Potholes column derived from a defined standard of 25 kg of fill material per pothole.
• Provides multiple location identifiers including Street Name, Neighbourhood, Electoral Ward, and a general Location column.
• Offers material measurements in both kilograms and tonnes (Weight in KG, Weight in Tonnes) for flexibility.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require manual inspection after download.
