New York City Street Pavement Condition Ratings

New York City street pavement is assessed across the five boroughs using a 1-10 rating scale. The City of New York performs these ongoing evaluations, with results categorized into Good, Fair, and Poor percentages. Data was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Predict future pavement condition categories (Good, Fair, Poor) based on historical rating scores and borough location.
• Analyze spatial distribution of low pavement ratings (1-3) to prioritize repair budgets across city boroughs.
• Model the relationship between roadway type (e.g., local streets where a 7 is Good) and the assigned pavement rating.
• Cluster streets based on their percentage scores in the Good (8-10), Fair (4-7), and Poor (1-3) categories for maintenance zoning.

Strengths

• Covers all five boroughs of a major metropolitan area (New York City).
• Uses a standardized 1-10 rating scale for consistent measurement.
• Data is actively maintained, with an update recorded in 2026.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column names, and sample size are unknown.
• The description indicates a nuanced rating rule (a 7 is Good on local streets) which may complicate direct comparisons.
• Historical data range and update frequency are not specified.
