Best places to live in Greater Kyoto

18 places with 2,916,397 residents within about 35 km of Kyoto, ranked for 29 household profiles. Local data: official statistics on demographics, governance and fiscal strength, health and elderly, jobs and economy and safety and community (local or regional figures, sources on every place page) plus population and geography.

A greater area here means every municipality whose nearest big-city core is Kyoto, within a radius that grows with the size of the city (20 to 60 km). It is a practical commuting belt, not an official region.
