Couldn't find more recent data. Was talking with a friend recently about their idea of moving to a rural location and we were brainstorming what the benefits and downsides are.

the number for norrbotten (northmost area of sweden) is uh... interesting. it makes sense when compared to a map of population density but it's kind of strange seeing such a large area have such good coverage. for reference, it's almost 100 000 km² with an average density of... 2.5 inhabitants per km².
Essentially, it's ok if you get sick at home, but if you have an accident at some remote place, you're screwed if you don't get helicopter transport.
yeah you're in the hands of mountain rescue for most of the white area.
