Daito Trust Construction Co., Ltd. conducted one of its largest-ever resident satisfaction surveys
and compiled the “E-heya Net City Livability Ranking 2020
As a result, Nishinomiya ranked 13th (up from 19th last year)
Here it is↓↓
※City Livability “Municipality” Ranking Nationwide Edition 2020/E-heya Net official website
The survey covered 56 categories.
For example, there are all kinds of items, such as “variety of restaurants,” “stylishness and sophistication,” “beauty of the streetscape,” “quality of public facilities such as libraries, public pools, and gymnasiums,” and “proximity to landmarks and popular spots.”
Here are the detailed deviation scores and more↓↓
Compared with Ashiya City, which made the top 10, it looks like this↓↓
| Deviation Score | Rating | Responses | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ashiya City | 71.2 | 1.00 | 302 |
| Nishinomiya City | 70.0 | 0.97 | 1532 |
That is incredibly close~
By the way, taking a quick look at the number of responses up to the top 30, Nishinomiya is proudly in 1st place for response count. Yay!! It’s always nice to be No. 1 at something
Maybe that means there are a lot of generous citizens who are happy to cooperate with surveys.
Broken down into eight major categories, the rankings look like this↓↓
If we pull out just Ashiya and Nishinomiya, which everyone’s curious about, here’s how they compare↓↓
| Friendliness | Quietness/Safety | Transportation Convenience | Daily Convenience | Image | Nature/Tourism | Administrative Services | Prices | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nishinomiya City | 68th | 292nd | 33rd | 35th | 18th | 359th | 49th | 705th |
| Ashiya City | 124th | 18th | 36th | 321st | 3rd | 147th | 82nd | 1049th |
With so many responses and such a high deviation score, it’s probably no exaggeration to say Nishinomiya really is a great place to live. I’m thinking maybe we can even call it the real No. 1? What do you all think??
Are there any other places that make you think, “That area’s pretty nice too~”…?
Maybe I’ll ask about it in the next Nishitsu survey.
