We created a ranking of areas in Nishinomiya City where the population is increasing and decreasing.
Using Estimated Population by Town in Reiwa 1 (by administrative area) as the source, we looked at changes in population numbers.
*This is labeled as the 2020 edition, but the data covers October 2018 to September 2019, so in practice it shows changes from 2018 to 2019.

Chitose-cho Ranked No. 1 for Population Growth
The area in Nishinomiya City with the biggest population increase was Chitose-cho! Nearly 300 more people live there now.
No. 1: Chitose-cho
The main reason seems to be the completion of a new condominium in October 2018. It’s close to Hankyu Shukugawa Station and JR Sakura-Shukugawa Station, and Hankyu Shukugawa also ranked No. 1 in the “most comfortable places to live” ranking, so it makes sense that this area, where you can also use JR, is becoming popular.

No. 2: Edagawa-cho
Edagawa-cho ranked No. 1 last year among areas where the population decreased, but a new condominium was built there, which is likely why the population increased. It gained 259 people.

No. 3: Ryodo-cho
Ryodo-cho, last year’s No. 1, is near Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station, which ranked No. 1 in Kansai’s most desirable places to live, and large condominiums keep being built there. That is probably the reason. A Life supermarket is also opening nearby, so the area looks set to become even more convenient. It gained 200 people.
