Can I live here
If you need a hospital bed, a middle school, treated tap water or an ATM inside the village you live in, the honest answer today is no. Three Primary Health Centres serve the taluka on the 2018 state list. No Community Health Centre exists here on the 2021 list. The nearest beds are 50 at Dhandhuka, and Dhandhuka is 22 to 50 km away depending on your village.

What this table cannot tell you It cannot answer anything about rent, tenancy, employment, safety, mobile signal strength, water quality or how any of this feels to live with. None of that is in any source used here, and this register will not fill it in from impression.
Who Dholera is currently a poor fit for
This is the part most sites leave out, so it is set out plainly. On the record as it stands:
- Anyone who needs regular hospital care. There is no Community Health Centre in the taluka and no operating hospital in any government list used here. A Primary Health Centre is an outpatient facility, not a bed.
- Anyone with a child in middle school. Not one of the 22 villages had a middle school in 2009, and the census does not even record where the nearest one is, because that column prints N.A. for every village.
- Anyone choosing a school on its results, class range or size. Not one of the 55 school records carries a class range, an enrolment count or a management type.
- Anyone who will not treat their own water. Treated tap water was recorded in none of the 22 villages and in none of the 72 in the extraction.
- Anyone who needs a bank branch or an ATM within walking distance. One commercial bank in 22 villages, no ATM in any of them.
- Anyone relying on a facility that has been announced. Two records on this site are announced and not operating, and neither carries a date.
- Anyone who needs 2026 data. The household picture on this site is 17 years old. The newest health list is 8 years old. If you need current condition, this register tells you where to look and admits it cannot give it to you.
Who it fits better: a household already inside the agricultural economy of these villages, with its own transport, whose children are at primary stage, and who can absorb a 22 to 50 km trip for anything that needs a bed or a bank. That is not a recommendation. It is what the columns say.
How far to what is not
The 22 villages are not interchangeable. On the fourteen tracked amenities, Dholera recorded 11, Bhadiyad recorded 10, Otariya recorded 10, Bavaliyari recorded 8 sit at the top, and Bhimtalav recorded 5, Kadipur recorded 5, Khun recorded 5, Mahadevpura recorded 5 sit at the bottom. There is no combined score anywhere on this site, because scoring a place people already live in is a brochure move and this is a ledger. Open a village and read its own row.
How old this record is
Every answer above carries its own date in its own column. Nothing on this page is an estimate, a projection or a forecast. If a figure here is wrong, write to corrections@dholera.life with the document that shows it and it will be corrected against the document.
