About this guide
Start with the neighborhoods around each station. Each one is a union of chō-chōme blocks.
How it's computed
Neighborhoods are station walking areas. Each is a union of chō-chōme blocks (e-Stat 2020 census small areas), checked against elementary school zones (National Land Numerical Information A27); TidyMap curated them, and they are not official boundaries. A grid cell belongs to a neighborhood when its centre falls inside; values are the mean of those cells; relative position compares neighborhoods within one city only — never against districts, never across cities. Metrics with fewer than 30 cells show “Not enough data”.
