Seattle · 27.8 min to downtown

85.97

Overall score: 85.97/100

Resident sentiment: 75.63/100 · 8 resident accounts · 5 sources · moderate resident evidence

Residents most often mention: parks, greenery, and water access, access to amenities and feelings of isolation, and community character

Overall confidence: Medium

Rationale, caveats, and sources

Resident sentiment is 75.6/100 based on 8 resident accounts, with moderate resident evidence. Residents most often mentioned parks, greenery, and water access, access to amenities and feelings of isolation, community character, and quiet and noise.

Caveats: Environmental and housing data come from the Census tract that best represents the neighborhood, so the boundaries may not match exactly. Seattle safety scores are estimates based on police incident density. Missing locations and activity in commercial areas may affect them. At the busiest tested times, the drive took up to 35.3 minutes. Online feedback may overrepresent residents with unusually positive or negative experiences.

Resident sentiment: 76.35/100 · 8 resident accounts · 6 sources · moderate resident evidence

Residents most often mention: traffic and access, quiet and noise, and access to amenities and feelings of isolation

Overall confidence: Low

Rationale, caveats, and sources

Resident sentiment is 76.3/100 based on 8 resident accounts, with moderate resident evidence. Residents most often mentioned traffic and access, quiet and noise, access to amenities and feelings of isolation, and long-term appeal and residents’ regrets.

Caveats: Environmental and housing data come from the Census tract that best represents the neighborhood, so the boundaries may not match exactly. Safety data come from Newcastle PD’s broader service area rather than this neighborhood alone. Market trends use citywide data because neighborhood-specific data were unavailable. The drive-time estimate is less certain because the neighborhood’s representative starting point is approximate. The typical drive uses a highway. Online feedback may overrepresent residents with unusually positive or negative experiences.

Overall confidence: Low

Rationale, caveats, and sources

Resident sentiment is 69.7/100 based on 1 resident accounts, with limited resident evidence. Residents most often mentioned traffic and access.

Caveats: Environmental and housing data come from the Census tract that best represents the neighborhood, so the boundaries may not match exactly. Safety data come from Medina PD’s broader service area rather than this neighborhood alone. Market trends use citywide data because neighborhood-specific data were unavailable. The drive-time estimate is less certain because the neighborhood’s representative starting point is approximate. The typical drive uses a highway and may include tolls or restricted-access roads. Only limited resident feedback was available, so the sentiment score stays close to neutral. Online feedback may overrepresent residents with unusually positive or negative experiences.

Resident sentiment is 71.2/100 based on 4 resident accounts, with limited resident evidence. Residents most often mentioned long-term appeal and residents’ regrets, safety and neighborhood disorder, aircraft, industrial, and environmental noise, and quiet and noise.

Caveats: Environmental and housing data come from the Census tract that best represents the neighborhood, so the boundaries may not match exactly. Seattle safety scores are estimates based on police incident density. Missing locations and activity in commercial areas may affect them. The typical drive uses a highway. Only limited resident feedback was available, so the sentiment score stays close to neutral. Online feedback may overrepresent residents with unusually positive or negative experiences.

Overall score: 71.63/100

Resident sentiment: 70.42/100 · 1 resident accounts · 1 sources · limited resident evidence

Residents most often mention: long-term appeal and residents’ regrets and quiet and noise

Overall confidence: Low

Rationale, caveats, and sources

Resident sentiment is 70.4/100 based on 1 resident accounts, with limited resident evidence. Residents most often mentioned long-term appeal and residents’ regrets and quiet and noise.

Caveats: Environmental and housing data come from the Census tract that best represents the neighborhood, so the boundaries may not match exactly. Safety data come from Des Moines PD’s broader service area rather than this neighborhood alone. Market trends use citywide data because neighborhood-specific data were unavailable. The drive-time estimate is less certain because the neighborhood’s representative starting point is approximate. At the busiest tested times, the drive took up to 40.1 minutes. The typical drive uses a highway. Only limited resident feedback was available, so the sentiment score stays close to neutral. Online feedback may overrepresent residents with unusually positive or negative experiences.

Overall confidence: Low

Rationale, caveats, and sources

Resident sentiment is 69.8/100 based on 2 resident accounts, with limited resident evidence. Residents most often mentioned housing upkeep and construction, aircraft, industrial, and environmental noise, safety and neighborhood disorder, and traffic and access.

Caveats: Environmental and housing data come from the Census tract that best represents the neighborhood, so the boundaries may not match exactly. Safety data come from Tukwila PD’s broader service area rather than this neighborhood alone. Market trends use citywide data because neighborhood-specific data were unavailable. The typical drive uses a highway. Only limited resident feedback was available, so the sentiment score stays close to neutral. Online feedback may overrepresent residents with unusually positive or negative experiences.

Method And Limits

Fixed weight, honest uncertainty.

Commute is used only to determine which neighborhoods qualify: every included area is within 35 minutes of downtown under the standard test. Public online feedback is self-selected and uneven, so neighborhoods with limited resident feedback stay close to a neutral sentiment score of 70.

28%Safety and nuisance
24%Residential environment
16%Housing stability
12%Market resilience
20%Resident sentiment

Resident accounts receive more weight when they are firsthand, specific, recent, independently supported, and clearly tied to the neighborhood. Duplicate accounts and overrepresented websites receive less weight. Every neighborhood has a complete score and either qualifying resident feedback or a clearly stated lack of sources.
