Elderly Population in Paved Neighborhoods of Zuid-Holland Province (2020)

A 2020 map from the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations shows the percentage of people over 65 living in the most paved neighborhoods of Zuid-Holland province. It is intended to help organizations prioritize urban greening efforts to mitigate heat stress among vulnerable elderly residents. The map filters out districts that are less than 60% paved or where less than 10% of residents are over 65.

Use Cases

• Prioritizing urban greening projects based on the co-location of high pavement coverage and elderly residents.
• Analyzing spatial vulnerability to heat stress based on demographic and land cover data.
• Supporting public health interventions by identifying neighborhoods with a high concentration of elderly residents in paved areas.

Strengths

• Data is focused on a specific, actionable policy goal: mitigating heat stress for the elderly.
• Applies clear, documented filters (60% pavement, 10% elderly population) to highlight priority areas.
• Published by a national government ministry (Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial resolution are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
