Score breakdown

What stands out in Hoboken

The strongest measurements here are social infrastructure (10.0/10), community spaces (9.9/10) and road connectivity (9.2/10) — social infrastructure is the highest single reading on the page.

The weakest are green spaces (4.6/10), architectural quality (5.0/10) and privacy (5.0/10). A low reading is not automatically a dealbreaker — green spaces matters far more to some people than others — but it is where Hoboken gives up ground against better-scoring areas.

Green & air in Hoboken

Green & air covers greenery, air and water quality, and the natural features around the streets. Hoboken scores 5.9/10 here, which is unremarkable.

Underneath it: green spaces 4.6, environmental quality 6.2 and natural features 7.3, each out of 10. The gap between natural features and green spaces is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.

Comfort & safety in Hoboken

Comfort & safety covers how the place feels to a person standing in it — space, privacy, scale and street life. Hoboken scores 6.5/10 here, which holds up.

Underneath it: spatial comfort 6.0, privacy 5.0, human scale 7.5, street life 6.8 and climate comfort 6.6. The gap between human scale and privacy is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.

Underneath it: building condition 7.0, architectural quality 5.0 and upkeep 7.0. The gap between building condition and architectural quality is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.

Underneath it: community spaces 9.9, social infrastructure 10.0, cultural life 6.3 and public safety 9.0. The gap between social infrastructure 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 United States — treat them as background conditions, not a verdict on this particular block.

Getting around in Hoboken

Underneath it: transit access 8.8 and road connectivity 9.2.

What the scores say about Hoboken

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 6.8/10, with cultural life at 6.3/10, high for a residential area.

Transit access scores 8.8/10, above average for public transport options.

How this area was scored

Each HoodEx analysis of Hoboken 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.
