Score breakdown

What stands out in De Pijp

The strongest measurements here are community spaces (10.0/10), social infrastructure (10.0/10) and cultural life (10.0/10) — community spaces is the highest single reading on the page.

The weakest are privacy (5.0/10), green spaces (6.2/10) and environmental quality (6.9/10). A low reading is not automatically a dealbreaker — privacy matters far more to some people than others — but it is where De Pijp gives up ground against better-scoring areas.

Green & air in De Pijp

Green & air covers greenery, air and water quality, and the natural features around the streets. De Pijp scores 6.5/10 here, which holds up.

Underneath it: green spaces 6.2 and environmental quality 6.9, each out of 10.

Comfort & safety in De Pijp

Comfort & safety covers how the place feels to a person standing in it — space, privacy, scale and street life. De Pijp scores 8.0/10 here, which does well.

Underneath it: spatial comfort 8.0, privacy 5.0, human scale 9.0, street life 9.1 and climate comfort 8.3. The gap between street life and privacy 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.

Underneath it: transit access 9.6 and road connectivity 9.7.

What the scores say about De Pijp

Scores are only useful next to what you actually want from a place. Pulling out the measurements that tend to decide it:

Street life — how much activity the imagery shows on the street itself — scores 9.1/10, with cultural life at 10.0/10, high for a residential area.

Transit access scores 9.6/10, above average for public transport options.

How this area was scored

Each HoodEx analysis of De Pijp 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.
