Questions & answers

Which is the best neighborhood in Madrid for families?

Niño Jesús ranks #1 of 131 neighborhoods on ESmap's family score, followed by Quintana and Arcos.

How is this ranking calculated?

Each neighborhood gets a score built from playgrounds, nurseries, primary schools and the share of children in the population. Indicators are standardised within Madrid (z-scores) and combined as a weighted sum. The ranking is relative — it compares the neighborhoods of Madrid with each other, not with other cities.
