A real Match example

London · 8 Sep 2026

Selected priorities

  • Daily amenities first
  • Parks close behind
  1. Stratford — Excellent match 99.4/100

    High scores for parks and everyday amenities.

    High measured liveliness; check the atmosphere in person.

  2. Redbridge — Excellent match 98.5/100

    Everyday amenities rank highly; parks also score well.

    Lower score for distance from big roads; visit at busy times.

Fit out of 100 for these two priorities only: not an overall area rating, and not ranked on budget, safety or commute.

How it works: From a city to a street in three steps.

  1. Tell us what matters

    Pick a city and say what you care about: green space, shops and services, getting around, your budget. No account needed.

    Find my neighbourhood

  2. See the best areas on a map

    HoodEx ranks the city's neighbourhoods against your answers and shows them on a map. Matches below your top three are free; you can unlock the top three later and you see the price before checkout.

  3. Dig into one area, then check an address

    Open an area for street photos, plain-language scores and trade-offs. When you have a specific home in mind, an address report looks at that exact spot. It needs an account and an available report allowance or credit, and nothing starts automatically.

Real public neighbourhood data. These area scores are out of 10—not a personalised match or a safety guarantee.

Explore all public neighbourhood reports

Look at the evidence

HoodEx brings together satellite imagery, mapped amenities and public datasets. Sources, coverage and freshness vary by location. Scores help you compare, not predict your experience. Some information is modelled or incomplete. Visit the area and check the things that matter most before committing.

How the scores work

Already have an address in mind?

Explore nearby public reports first. To create a report for your address, sign up and review your allowance before confirming. Nothing starts automatically.

Before you start

What can I try for free?

You can start a neighbourhood match without signing up and see every match below your top three free. Existing public neighbourhood pages and research are also free to read. Unlocking your top three requires an account and payment; you see the price before checkout.

What if I already have an address?

Search the address in the same box and pick it from the suggestions. You can explore the location and nearby existing public reports. A nearby report is not an analysis of that exact address. Creating a new address report requires an account and an available report allowance or credits. You confirm it after signing up; entering an address here does not start a report or charge you.

Is my city covered?

The matching journey shows the current city options. If an area has not been mapped yet, HoodEx may need to prepare it before a search can run. Coverage is not identical everywhere; public reports are available only for areas already analysed.

Where does the neighbourhood data come from?

HoodEx combines satellite imagery, mapped amenities and public datasets to describe neighbourhood conditions. Availability and freshness vary by source and location. The methodology explains how the scores are built and their limitations.

Is a high score a guarantee that I will like an area?

No. A public livability score summarizes measured conditions; a personal match reflects your selected priorities. Neither guarantees safety, affordability or your day-to-day experience. Treat results as a shortlist, visit in person and verify important details.

Can I ask questions about the results?

Yes. HoodEx includes an AI assistant to help you explore neighbourhood questions. You can try three public questions, subject to availability and rate limits, before being prompted to sign up. AI answers can be incomplete or wrong, so check important claims against their sources.
