Dataset is not available.
This table contains information about the average distances for residents of the Netherlands from their home address to the nearest facilities (e.g. school, GP or library). The table also includes information about the number of facilities located within a certain distance from the residential address. These data are calculated as an average over all persons in the area.
The data is available at different regional levels. The lowest level is the municipality.
Data available from: 2006
Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are final.
Changes per November 2023
Data on the following themes were added for the year 2020:
Employment: number of jobs
- A-U all economic activities
- A Agriculture, forestry and fisheries
- B-F Industry and energy
- G-N Commercial services
- O-U Non-commercial services
Data on the following themes were added for the year 2022:
Health and wellbeing
- GP post
Education
- Primary education
- Secondary education total
- Secondary education vmbo
- Secondary education havo/vwo
Leisure and culture
- Museum
- Performing arts (excl. festivals)
- Pop music venue
When will new figures be released?
For the time being, no new figures are expected for reporting year 2022.
For reporting year 2023, the first figures are expected in spring 2024. The district and neighbourhood figures for 2023 will appear in a separate table.

Description topics
- Green areas
- The entrances to the green areas are established at the intersections between the roads and paths of the Top10NL (topographic map, both the line file and the road section file) in the green area and the outer boundary of the green area. For green areas without paths or roads (usually the smaller green areas and public gardens), the focus of the greenery has been taken.
In 2008 and before, only the line file of the topographic map was used and green areas without paths or roads are not included. This mainly results in a trend breach in open natural terrain.
From reporting year 2017, the method for calculating the proximity of green has changed: among other things, only greenery with a minimum surface area of 1 hectare is now included. On average, this method change makes virtually no difference for the whole of the Netherlands: compared to 2015, the distance to greenery has increased by 0.1 km on average. But at a local level (particularly on the Wadden Islands) the differences can sometimes amount to several tens of kilometers.
Proximity to green spaces is derived from the Land Use statistics. The most recent edition of this statistic is reporting year 2017. The next edition is 2020, which will be released at the end of 2023. This means that proximity to green spaces will be published during 2024. From reporting year 2020 onwards, the Land Use statistics will be published annually and so will the proximity to green spaces.- Public green
- Terrain used as a park or public garden, for daytime recreation, nature or as a forest. The site can be privately or publicly accessible. The site is at least one hectare in size.
- Distance to park or public garden
- Area used for relaxation such as sunbathing areas, shrub plantations and wooded parts of parks and large green areas.
The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest park or public garden, calculated by road.
- Semi-public green
- Terrain used as a sports field, allotment garden, for residential recreation or as a cemetery. The site can be privately or publicly accessible.
- Distance to allotment garden
- Terrain for non-commercial ornamental and vegetable cultivation. The site has a size of at least 0.1 hectare.
The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest allotment, calculated by road.
