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.

Description topics
- Health and wellbeing
- General practice
- Building or space in which one or more general practitioners work (together).
- Distance to GP practice
- The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest general practice, calculated by road.
As of the reporting year 2020, Statistics Netherlands receives the population of GP practices in a different form than before: the secondary addresses of GP practices are no longer part of the population. Due to this change in the source files, the results from reporting year 2020 are no longer comparable with those of previous years. An analysis for the reporting year 2019 into the effect of omitting the secondary addresses shows that the distance to the nearest general practitioner practice increases by 0.1 km on a national level. At neighbourhood level, the distance can be up to 7 km longer in certain regions.
- Number of GP practices
- The average number of GP practices within a fixed distance by road for all residents of an area.
- Within 1 km
- Within 3 km
- Within 5 km
- Distance to GP post
- GP post
Place where general practitioners from the region provide evening, night and weekend shifts. A number of GP posts work with alternating shifts.
The average distance of all residents in an area to the nearest GP post, calculated by road.
Up to and including 2012, the distance from a residential address to one of the GP posts in a cluster of alternating shifts was determined as the average of the distances to all GP posts within that cluster.
As of 2013, no information is available anymore about alternating shifts. The distance is then determined from the home address to the nearest GP post, regardless of any alternating shifts.
- Distance to pharmacy
- Pharmacy, including GP office with an in-house pharmacy.
The average distance of all residents in an area to the nearest pharmacy, calculated by road.
- Hospital (incl. outpatient clinic)
- Hospital (including outpatient clinic).
Hospital
Institution for research, treatment and nursing of the sick.
In a hospital, patients can be admitted for more than 24 hours and major operations can be performed.
Outpatient clinic
Location of a hospital where patients who are not bedridden are treated or monitored.
Patients are not admitted for more than 24 hours and no major surgeries are performed.- Distance to hospital
- The average distance of all residents in an area to the nearest hospital, calculated by road.
- Number of hospitals
- The average number of hospitals within a fixed distance by road for all residents of an area.
- Within 5 km
- Within 10 km
- Within 20 km
