Coney Island is a neighbourhood in Potsdam, New York, United States. It scores 4.4 out of 10 overall — weak — based on AI analysis of satellite and street-level imagery across five categories.
The strongest measurements here are green spaces (9.3/10), environmental quality (8.8/10) and privacy (7.0/10) — green spaces is the highest single reading on the page.
The weakest are transit access (0.0/10), cultural life (0.0/10) and social infrastructure (0.0/10). A low reading is not automatically a dealbreaker — transit access matters far more to some people than others — but it is where Coney Island gives up ground against better-scoring areas.
Green & air covers greenery, air and water quality, and the natural features around the streets. Coney Island scores 7.6/10 here, which does well.
Underneath it: green spaces 9.3, environmental quality 8.8 and natural features 4.1, 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 covers how the place feels to a person standing in it — space, privacy, scale and street life. Coney Island scores 5.4/10 here, which struggles.
Underneath it: spatial comfort 6.0, privacy 7.0, human scale 5.0, street life 1.0 and climate comfort 6.0. The gap between privacy and street life is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Homes & buildings covers the buildings themselves: their condition, design and upkeep. Coney Island scores 4.7/10 here, which struggles.
Underneath it: building condition 5.0, architectural quality 4.0 and upkeep 5.0.
Shops & services covers the shared side of a place — meeting spots, services, culture and safety. Coney Island scores 0.8/10 here, which falls down.
Underneath it: community spaces 2.1, social infrastructure 0.0 and cultural life 0.0. The gap between community spaces and social infrastructure is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Getting around covers how easily you get out of the area and reach what you need. Coney Island scores 3.5/10 here, which falls down.
Underneath it: transit access 0.0 and road connectivity 7.0. The gap between road connectivity and transit access is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Scores are only useful next to what you actually want from a place. Pulling out the measurements that tend to decide it:
Street life is low at 1.0/10 while privacy scores 7.0/10 — the pattern of a quiet residential area rather than a busy one.
Road connectivity scores 7.0/10 against transit access at 0.0/10 — the area is measured as better connected by car than by public transport.
The building stock scores lower than the rest of the page: condition 5.0/10 and architectural quality 4.0/10.
Each HoodEx analysis of Coney Island 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.
