Sunnyside vs Woodside

Sunnyside ranks 6th of the 57 Queens neighborhoods on this site and Woodside 14th, on median street scores of 57 and 54 out of 100. Both sit on the 7 line, and the columns under those two numbers are close enough that the neighborhood is not what decides this one.

Cleanliness is a dead heat at 51. Quietness goes to Sunnyside by three, 56 to 53, and traffic safety by one, 46 to 45. The one real gap is access, 64 for Sunnyside against 54 for Woodside, and access is ranked against every street in the city rather than inside a street type.

Illegal parking is the most-filed record on both sides, and it takes the same share of each log: 22,829 of the 72,150 complaints and violations on Sunnyside streets, and 28,292 of 89,780 in Woodside, 32% on each. Blocked driveways sit second in each place, which is what a 311 log looks like where people park on their own blocks.

Noise decides very little here. Sunnyside reads 56 on quietness, which counts 311 noise reports against the number of people in a position to file them, and Woodside 53, level with the Queens borough average of 53.

52nd Street is the best-scoring block in Sunnyside at 77 out of 100, on a cleanliness reading of 88 and a traffic-safety reading of 97. Woodside Avenue is the best-scoring block in Woodside and lands on exactly the same number.
