residents_per_medical_institution_bed · 2024-01-01/2024-12-31.

2024 medical-institution beds divided by year-end permanent residents. All eleven Guangzhou municipal districts are included. The resident population denominator includes residents without local household registration. Beds measure installed medical capacity. Large central hospitals serve patients from other districts and cities; this ratio does not measure vacant beds, emergency response time, care quality or tourist eligibility. Only health_and_rescue varies locally. The citywide score and six other local dimensions retain the existing China country research calibration used for Beijing and Shanghai; they are not measured Guangzhou crime rates. Official 2025 Guangzhou Statistical Yearbook tables 18-21 and 2-2. Bruce approved derived aggregates and scores with attribution on 2026-10-27; no report prose, images or individual records are republished. OpenStreetMap district boundaries retrieved 2026-10-27, not survey/cadastral boundaries; compared to 2024 named statistical districts. Generalized by 10 metres with under 0.5% area change.

Before choosing accommodation

  1. Locate your intended stay on the map and check whether that area has evidence.
  2. Read what drives the local differences. A citywide score and an area estimate answer different questions.
  3. Check current local advice and your transport options separately. These estimates cannot assess a specific hotel, street or time of day.
