# City Parking Violations & Citations Dataset (Free Sample)
> **This is a free sample** with 2,070 rows. The full dataset has **14,825 rows** across 3 tables.
Parking citation records for a simulated mid-size US city (population ~350K)
over 2 years. 25,000 citations across 50 zones, with officer assignments,
violation types, fine amounts, and payment status tracking.
Features location clustering (downtown hotspots), time-of-day patterns
(meter violations peak 9-11 AM), repeat offenders, and two anomalies —
a parking meter system failure causing a citation surge and a holiday
enforcement blitz in December.
Ideal for: civic tech apps, GovTech dashboards, urban planning analytics,
fine collection systems, and open data portal demos.
