Table explanation


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.

Data available for 2021

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are final until reporting year 2022.
From reporting year 2023 on, the figures will first be published as preliminary.
Once all variables in a reporting year have been published as preliminary, they will be made final at the next publication moment.

Changes per April 2025
The data on the proximity of jobs have been removed from the table. The source file for this facility has changed as of reporting year 2021, meaning that the location of a significant proportion of jobs is no longer known. Due to this change, the proximity of jobs can no longer be calculated with the same accuracy as in previous years.

When will new figures be released?
For the near future, no new figures are expected for this table.

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.

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 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, for which the definitive version will be released at the end of 2024. This means that proximity to green spaces will be published during 2025.
Semi-public green
Site used as a sports field, allotment garden, for residential recreation or as a cemetery. The site can be privately or publicly accessible.
Distance to cemetery
The average distance of all residents in an area to the nearest cemetery, calculated by road.

Cemetery:
Site used for burial and cremation, including associated parking lots and parks. The site has a size of at least 0.1 hectare.
