Boundaries: github.com/eurostat/Nuts2json, 2021 typology, reused from scripts/etl/eurostat.py rather than re-fetched — confirmed again for this dataflow: all 21 Italian NUTS 2 codes match exactly. A capital-region concentration is visible in the shipped values (Athens, Prague and Bucharest's regions are the top three) — physicians typically register at the hospital or clinic they practise at, which clusters in capitals, regardless of where their patients actually live; a known feature of this kind of registration data, not a data error.",

    "coverageNote": "The UK has ZERO codes in this dataset from 2017 onward (checked through 2025) — a complete, seemingly permanent absence, unlike the homicide layer's partial NUTS-vintage mismatch. Albania has ZERO codes at all, for the same structural reason as every other OECD layer here — Albania is not an OECD member."
