Go see in person or find better data. Spain is a desert between big towns. Poland has only 35ish M people on all that land. You can drive for hours in west Balkans without seeing a single settlement. Croatia, for example has less than 4M people in an area which is bigger than the Netherlands. The Netherlands has like 18M people.

The West of France seems to have a high number of tennis courts for the population, probably because it's a a tourist area.
You mean like official EU data? https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/demo_r_d3dens/default/map?lang=en And "go see in person" is a very bad advice to anything data-related in most cases. Compating population density anywhere in Europe with Netherlands isn't fair. Poland, Hungary and Romania (and north Balkan as well, it seems) have denser population than rural France, for example. Spain is less densely populated, but still has about as many tennis courts, so it must have much more per capita. It just isn't a population density map. It is another Iron curtain division map, but even so, Czechia and Slovakia stand out as exceptions. There is interesting information in there.
