The reference is the median of the 178 cities published here, not a European average. Eurostat's EU aggregates are not collected yet, and deriving one from these cities would invent a figure no source publishes.

Ordered best first

This measure has stated that a higher value is better for a household choosing where to settle, so the order and the colour follow from it. Cities with the same value share a rank. This orders one measure; it is not a ranking of cities.

Every value is published at the same geographic level: Country. Periods 2024 to 2025. Confidence varies by city and is stated on each row.

Compared cities mix editions (2024, 2025).

Every value on this measure is published at country level, so the cities in one country share a single figure. The ranking below is grouped by country — 29 country rows, each listing the 178 cities that share its value. The rank and the median are still computed over the 178 cities, not over 29 countries: a median of countries is not published here, and deriving one would weight each country by how many of its cities happen to be in the launch set.

Each bar grows from the median towards the side its value falls on. The two halves are scaled independently, so the lowest and highest values reach their ends even when the spread is uneven: a bar's length is comparable with others on the same side of the median, not across it.

How this measure is built

Definition
Available staffed hospital beds for total care per 100,000 inhabitants, published at country level.
Limits
National capacity context, not the number of beds in the city or proof that a bed is available to a newcomer. Day-care and outpatient places are excluded.
Position
The median, the gap and the rank are arithmetic over the values in this table and can be recomputed from it. They are not a score, carry no weighting, and combine with nothing else on the site.Read the method
