Pharmacies and mobile medicine depots per 1000 inhabitants (No.) by NUTS-2024 geography

How many pharmacies serve each 1,000 inhabitants, reported for Portugal, its regions and its municipalities, annually from 2022 — the pharmacy counterpart to the doctors measure. It is a density per head of population, not a count of pharmacies. A reading of 0.0 in a very small municipality is a genuine measured zero, which is different from a value that could not be published. Source: Statistics Portugal, CC BY 4.0.

No national figure is published for this series. The per-concelho values are rates, and neither their sum nor an unweighted average of them is the national rate — an honest national rate would need a population weight the source does not publish. Every per-municipality value below is real and unchanged.
