How this area was scored

Each HoodEx analysis of Foreshore 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.
