What stands out in Neukölln

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 (4.0/10), natural features (4.9/10) and architectural quality (5.0/10). A low reading is not automatically a dealbreaker — privacy matters far more to some people than others — but it is where Neukölln gives up ground against better-scoring areas.

How this area was scored

Each HoodEx analysis of Neukölln 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.
