Eurostat Releases Updated Dataset on EU Healthcare and Education Accessibility

Eurostat has released an updated geospatial dataset assessing road access to healthcare and primary education services in the EU for 2020 and 2023. The dataset provides driving times to the nearest services using 2021 census population data at 100-meter resolution, combined with road network information. It integrates data from national registries to include service details like location, capacity, and address. The update improves coverage and resolution for identifying communities with limited access to essential services. This information supports EU regional policies and monitoring of UN Sustainable Development Goals. The dataset reflects population distribution and service availability, highlighting disparities in travel times across the EU.
