How Mie ranks

Scores run 0 to 100 against every municipality in Japan. Ranks count only the places that pass each profile's minimums, so the totals differ by profile. 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.
