Within 5% of citywide, or a tenth of a day, reads as about the same. Times under a day are shown in hours. Median days from request to closure for requests opened in the last 12 months and already closed, computed from request and resolution timestamps only (exact here; citywide from server-side quantiles). When the window spans two yearly layers the citywide median is merged from each layer's quantiles (accurate to a few percent). Requests still open are excluded, which biases recent months toward faster closes, equally here and citywide.
