What these scores mean for ZIP 19087, Chester

Each score is out of 100. Higher is better for you: a high affordability score means cheaper relative to local incomes, and a high safety score means less crime. Comparisons are with other areas in the same country.

Safety: 80/100 · Good
Scores 80 out of 100, which is good and lower than 99% of areas in United States. In practice, reported crime is low for its size. What it measures: How safe the area is, from reported crime adjusted for population, with burglary and robbery counting most. How it is worked out: No SAPS station data for this suburb yet — safety is estimated from data-backed suburbs nearby. This is an estimate from wider-area data, not measured for this area itself. Source: Estimated from nearby areas (estimated).
Affordability: 50/100 · Below average
Scores 50 out of 100, which is below average and lower than 99% of areas in United States. What it measures: How average rent compares with what households here typically earn.

Source: Stats SA income & rental index (ACS 2020-2024 5-Year Estimates).
Schools: 12/100 · Weak
Scores 12 out of 100, which is weak and lower than 99% of areas in United States. In practice, there are few schools nearby, so check travel times to the ones you want.

This is based on reasonable data, but not the most recent or most local. Source: DBE National Masterlist of Schools (2020) (2020).

Scores 55 out of 100, which is about average and lower than 99% of areas in United States. What it measures: How much reliable property data we have and how stable prices look.
