Proximity to facilities; distances by car, sub-municipal data 2025

What's in it

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 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.

Data available for 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 become final at the next publication moment, or when they have been preliminary for a maximum of two years.

For example: the figures for the 2025 reporting year are first published as preliminary. When the first figures for 2026 are published, the 2025 figures become finalized.
