Score breakdown

What stands out in Slotermeer

The strongest measurements here are community spaces (9.9/10), road connectivity (8.7/10) and green spaces (8.4/10) — community spaces is the highest single reading on the page.

The weakest are street life (3.6/10), architectural quality (5.0/10) and cultural life (5.6/10). A low reading is not automatically a dealbreaker — street life matters far more to some people than others — but it is where Slotermeer gives up ground against better-scoring areas.

Green & air in Slotermeer

Green & air covers greenery, air and water quality, and the natural features around the streets. Slotermeer scores 7.5/10 here, which does well.

Underneath it: green spaces 8.4, environmental quality 7.9 and natural features 6.0, each out of 10. The gap between green spaces and natural features is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.

Comfort & safety in Slotermeer

Comfort & safety covers how the place feels to a person standing in it — space, privacy, scale and street life. Slotermeer scores 7.3/10 here, which holds up.

Underneath it: spatial comfort 8.0, privacy 6.0, human scale 8.0, street life 3.6 and climate comfort 8.2. The gap between climate comfort and street life is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.

Underneath it: building condition 6.0, architectural quality 5.0 and upkeep 6.0.

Underneath it: community spaces 9.9, social infrastructure 6.5, cultural life 5.6 and public safety 7.5. The gap between community spaces and cultural life is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.

Public safety and civic governance are measured at national level rather than street by street, so those two read the same across every area in Netherlands — treat them as background conditions, not a verdict on this particular block.

Getting around covers how easily you get out of the area and reach what you need. Slotermeer scores 8.4/10 here, which does well.

Underneath it: transit access 8.0 and road connectivity 8.7.

How this area was scored

Each HoodEx analysis of Slotermeer reads satellite and street-level imagery for the area and scores the five categories above; where there is more than one, the page shows the average.

Scores are a starting point, not a substitute for standing on the street. They are consistent — every area is measured the same way, so comparing two of them is meaningful — but they cannot tell you about a noisy neighbour, a good landlord or a bad bus route. People who have lived here can add that sort of detail on this page.
