Score breakdown

What stands out in Muiden

The strongest measurements here are human scale (10.0/10), environmental quality (9.1/10) and architectural quality (9.0/10) — human scale is the highest single reading on the page.

The weakest are cultural life (2.2/10), street life (2.3/10) and social infrastructure (3.6/10). A low reading is not automatically a dealbreaker — cultural life matters far more to some people than others — but it is where Muiden gives up ground against better-scoring areas.

Green & air in Muiden

Green & air covers greenery, air and water quality, and the natural features around the streets. Muiden scores 8.6/10 here, which stands out.

Underneath it: green spaces 8.7, environmental quality 9.1 and natural features 8.0, each out of 10.

Comfort & safety in Muiden

Comfort & safety covers how the place feels to a person standing in it — space, privacy, scale and street life. Muiden scores 7.6/10 here, which does well.

Underneath it: spatial comfort 8.0, privacy 5.0, human scale 10.0, street life 2.3 and climate comfort 8.3. The gap between human scale and street 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. Muiden scores 6.7/10 here, which holds up.

Underneath it: transit access 4.3 and road connectivity 9.0. The gap between road connectivity and transit access is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.

How this area was scored

Each HoodEx analysis of Muiden 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.
