What the numbers say

  • Coimbra, Portugal leads at 3,470 per 100,000.
  • Jūrmala, Latvia sits at the other end with 3.2 per 100,000.

  • The spread between first and last is 3,467 per 100,000.

What this measures

Every row is a published physicians per 100,000 residents observation, ranked highest first. The values were observed between 2022 and 2026. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
