Side-by-side comparison

Compare municipality data

Select up to three municipalities and review published measures side by side. Values retain their source periods and geographic basis; the comparison does not rank places or rate healthcare.

Japanese place names are retained when no verified English name is available.

Published measures

Descriptive values from their stated sources; periods may differ between measures.

Reported beds per 100,000 residents1,586.761,705.02

“Reported beds” are not licensed, staffed, available or occupied beds. Per-population rates combine provider-location counts with resident-population denominators; they do not measure access or capacity.

Bed summaries exclude records with unknown bed counts. A missing bed count is not treated as zero. These figures describe the listed facility records and do not measure capacity or access.

Distribution of listed hospitals by reported-bed band

Differences in the selected measures

These are descriptive numerical differences based on this comparison. They do not imply that either place is better, worse, adequately served or underserved.

  • Listed hospitals per 100,000 residents: 8.96 vs 10.94; absolute difference 1.98. Denominator: Resident population from the shared population release. Source periods: 1 June 2026 / 2025.
  • Reported beds per 100,000 residents: 1,586.76 vs 1,705.02; absolute difference 118.26. Denominator: Resident population from the shared population release. Source periods: 1 June 2026 / 2025.

Children, families and related measures

This group brings together measures with different definitions and source periods. A listed specialty or facility record is not evidence of service quality, capacity, availability or access.

This measure reports the source-published capacity as of 1 April 2025. It does not show vacancies or places currently available. Figures published only for a designated city are not allocated to its wards. Where no ward-level figure is verified, no figure is shown; this does not mean zero.

Browse another municipality. Each municipality profile provides its own source details; comparison does not create a combined score or rank.

  • Values are descriptive statistics based on the same published facility snapshot.
  • Facilities with unknown bed counts are excluded from bed mean, median and distribution summaries; missing bed counts are not treated as zero.
  • Numeric differences describe facility composition. They do not indicate healthcare quality, capacity, access, need, adequacy, superiority or rank.
  • Population-denominated measures use the Basic Resident Register reference date as descriptive context; they do not measure need, access, quality, adequacy or superiority.
  • When a municipality has a zero population denominator, rates per 100,000 residents are not displayed, to avoid division by zero.

Sources and reference periods

Source titles and official records may be in Japanese. Dates and geographic units are shown separately for each source.
