Most livable neighborhoods in Hyogo: Top 20

We scored every chōme-level neighborhood in Hyogo (Kobe, Amagasaki and more) on four measures: safety (police open data), convenience, childcare and quiet. The ranking uses their average, so it favours places that hold up across all four rather than peak at one. The top 20 cluster in Kakogawa-shi (4) and Nishinomiya-shi (4).
