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 per municipality at district and neighbourhood level, as of 1 January.

Description topics
- Green spaces
- 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.
As of reporting year 2017, the method for calculating proximity to green space has changed: among other things, only facilities with a minimum area of 1 hectare are now included. For the whole of the Netherlands on average, this method change makes almost no difference: compared to 2015, the distance to green spaces increases by 0.1 kilometres. But at local level (especially on the Wadden Islands), differences can sometimes amount to several tens of kilometres.
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.- Semi-public green
