Coney Island is a neighborhood 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. That puts it 49th of the 49 areas measured in New York, in the lower half of the list.
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.

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.

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.

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.
This page is built from 1 analysis of Coney Island. Each analysis reads satellite and street-level imagery for the area, scores the five categories above, and 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. The community section on this page is where residents fill in that sort of detail.
