Coverage % = authoritative source rows ÷ Eurostat 2021 Census canonical dwelling count.
Green (≥80%) · Yellow (40-79%) · Red (<40%)

Note on coverage %: Eurostat benchmark = total conventional dwellings per country. One authoritative address (e.g., a building entrance in FR/IT) can serve multiple dwellings — so coverage can exceed 100% (BE, DK) or look low even when the authoritative source is complete. FR coverage here shown against authoritative BAN address count (26.3M), not Eurostat dwellings (37.2M).

EU HVD (EU 2023/138): Geospatial datasets including addresses must be free + bulk download for EU/EEA. Portal: data.europa.eu
DE note: HK-DE open subset (~23%) is free but full ALKIS nationwide is paid (reduced cost since AdV Jun 2024, not free). Regional state portals (NRW, Baden-Württemberg) offer free coordinates but NO bulk address text (street + number) download.
ES note: Catastro INSPIRE ATOM works but requires ~8,000 individual municipality feeds — not practical as bulk import.
NO/HR/IS/IE/AT: Authoritative source exists but bulk download is blocked (auth 403, portal 404/403, or requires formal request). OSM used as fallback.
