Description
This table provides figures on average travel distances for residents of the Netherlands from their home address to the nearest facilities (e.g. school, general practitioner or library) for 2020. The table also contains figures on the number of facilities located within a certain distance from the residence address. This data has been calculated as an average for all persons in the area.
The data are available per municipality at district and neighbourhood level, as of 1 January.
Data available for 2020
Changes as of October 2021
As of the reporting year 2020, the CBS is provided with the population of general medical practice in a different form than before: the secondary addresses of general medical practice are no longer part of the population. As a result of this change in the source files, the results from reporting year 2020 are no longer comparable to those of previous years. An analysis for reporting year 2019 on the effect of omission of the secondary addresses shows that the distance to the nearest GP practice at national level increases by 0.1 km. At local level, the distance can be extended to 7 km in certain regions.
