HoodEx has a profile for every part of Paris, France — all 251 areas, each about 700 metres across. Here is what it says about prices and where the city is greenest, liveliest and easiest to get around.
Modelled estimates, not measurements — and all currently low confidence. Use them to narrow a shortlist.
Find which part of Paris fits you
Paris sits on the Seine in north-central France, its arrondissements spiraling outward from a dense historic core. The built environment is dominated by mid-rise stone apartment buildings set along broad boulevards and narrow older streets, especially in the central measured areas. The housing stock is almost entirely multi-family, with apartments in aging buildings and scarce detached homes. People travel by Metro, bus, bicycle, and on foot across a dense network of small streets and public squares. The climate is continental, with mild summers, cool winters, and rain throughout the year. Greenery is clustered in large formal parks rather than spread evenly, so some districts have ample tree cover while others remain heavily paved. The western arrondissements contain wide ceremonial avenues and institutional architecture, while the historic center retains irregular, small-scale blocks.
These parts of Paris have been measured in full rather than modelled — each has its own page with the five scores, the readings underneath them and photos of the streets.
Across the 4 measured areas HoodEx has mapped in Paris, the average score is 8.3 out of 10 — excellent. That places Paris 1st of the 33 cities measured so far, 1.7 above the 6.6 average across those cities.
The highest-scoring area is Le Marais at 8.6/10; the lowest is Paris 8e Arrondissement at 7.8/10. A gap of only 0.8 points means Paris is fairly even: most areas offer a similar standard, and the choice comes down to what kind of place you want rather than how good it is. 4 of the 4 areas score 7 or better.
Averaged across Paris: green & air 5.3, comfort & safety 8.0, homes & buildings 9.3, shops & services 9.3 and getting around 9.6, each out of 10.
Paris's strongest category is getting around — transport and walkability — at 9.6/10, 2.5 above the 7.1 average for that category. The weakest is green & air — greenery and environmental quality — at 5.3/10, 0.4 below the 5.7 average. Those two are the shape of the city: what it gives you everywhere, and what you have to hunt for.
Against the other 33 measured cities, Paris ranks 1st for comfort & safety, 1st for homes & buildings, 4th for shops & services and 2nd for getting around.
The score that swings most from one Paris area to the next is green & air: 3.6/10 in Paris 8e Arrondissement, 6.6/10 in Le Marais — a spread of 3.0 points. In practice that means how much green you live next to is the thing your choice of address actually decides here.
By contrast getting around moves by only 0.2 points across the whole city, so it is close to a constant: worth knowing about Paris, but not worth paying extra for one street over another.
No single area wins on everything, so it is worth knowing which one leads on the thing you care about. In Paris that is most green space: Le Marais (6.6/10 green & air), best connected: Paris 4e Arrondissement (9.7/10 getting around), strongest community life: Le Marais (9.4/10 shops & services) and best housing stock: Le Marais (9.4/10 homes & buildings).
