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). In addition, 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 are available per municipality at district and neighbourhood level, as of 1 January.
From 2022, the calculation of distances from addresses to the (nearest) facilities has been improved: from then on, driving directions are taken into account when determining the routes and distances from addresses to the (nearest) facilities. In previous years, this did not happen or only to a limited extent.

In the current update, the preliminary figures on the proximity of cafeterias for 2023 have been temporarily withdrawn for further research. They will be added again in the next update (spring 2025).
When will new figures be released?
For reporting year 2023, new figures are expected in the spring of 2025.
Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are preliminary. Once all variables in a reporting year have been published as ‘preliminary’, they will be made final at the next publication moment.
Description topics
- Health and well-being
- Distance to pharmacy
- The average distance of all residents in an area to the nearest pharmacy, calculated by road.
Pharmacy, including GP office with an in-house pharmacy.
- Distance to youth health centre
- Institution within youth health care where basic medical care and prevention is provided for all children from 0 to 4 years.
The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest youth health centre, calculated by road.
From reporting year 2007 no new figures are available for this facility.
- 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.
- Distance to recreational inland waters
- The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest recreational inland waterway, calculated by road.
Recreational inland water:
Inland waterways used for recreation, such as recreational lakes, water in parks and public gardens, golf courses, marinas and rowing courses. The site has a size of at least 1 hectare. Only for marinas there is a lower limit of 0.5 hectares for the water part.
- Traffic and transport
- Distance to main road entrance
- Access to a state or provincial road.
The National Road Database (a product of the Traffic and Transport Advisory Service of the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment) was used as the basis for the road entrances.
The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest entrance to a national or provincial road, calculated over the road.
- Leisure and culture
- Distance to library
- The average distance of all residents in an area to the nearest library, calculated by road. This includes libraries branches and service points. The mini-service points, self-service libraries and the library buses are not included.
A library branch meets the following criteria: open for at least 15 hours a week, digital access to the entire collection and range of activities, demand mediation, cultural/literary activities, offer for students/institutions in line with the choices made in the distribution and marketing policy and study opportunities.
A library service point offers at least the following service level: is open for at least 4 hours a week, offers digital access to the entire range of activities and provides intermediary services (both in person and via the internet).
