About the residents and the source

Source: Czech Statistical Office, 2021 Population and Housing Census (residents by usual residence). We have the age structure and population trend for the district: Praha-Dolní Měcholupy.

Dolní Měcholupy lies on the eastern edge of Prague between Hostivař and Uhříněves, with the original village, new apartment buildings and an industrial zone. The centre is 35 minutes away, by bus or train. A 2+kk costs around 19 900 CZK, more than in most of Prague.

How we calculate it, and sources

The bar’s length shows where the number sits among Prague’s 112 neighbourhoods: a short bar is one of the lowest in Prague, a full one the highest. The vertical mark is the Prague average (the neighbourhood in the middle: half of Prague has more, half less). The colour says whether that is good: dark green is the best fifth of Prague, light green above average, yellow around average, orange below it and red the worst fifth. For rent, travel and noise less is better, for parks, shops and services more. Hover over a bar to see how many neighbourhoods this one beats. The numbers are the same as further down the page and in the “Good for…” profiles.

Rent without services and energy for an unfurnished flat older than 5 years in good condition, without a balcony or parking, from rental offers. Monthly = price per m² × the usual size of rented flats in Prague. Actual rents differ by condition, furnishing and floor. (2+kk = two rooms and a kitchenette.)

How we calculate it, and sources

A typical trip from an address in the neighbourhood: walk to the best stop and on by public transport arriving at Můstek between 7:30 and 8:30, without waiting for the first connection. Calculated from the PID timetables.

At night we calculate the trip from Lazarská (where the night trams meet) leaving between 0:30 and 1:30 on a weeknight, including waiting for the connection (night lines run every 20 to 30 minutes) and the walk home. The metro doesn’t run at night.

How we calculate it, and sources

Places with an insurer contract (insurance pays): 5, without: 1.

Contracted = the practice has a contract for that specialty with a health insurer and insurance pays for the care; we name the insurers from the lists published by VZP, ČPZP and VoZP. No contract = no insurer has a contract with it and you pay yourself. A practice without a label works with an insurer that doesn’t publish a list (OZP, ZPŠ, ZPMV or RBP); check the contract with them.

We count the places where care is provided (practice, polyclinic, hospital), not individual doctors, per 1,000 residents of the 2021 census. We can’t count paediatricians per child for a neighbourhood, you’ll find them for the district.
