Most convenient neighborhoods in Kobe: Top 20

Among neighborhoods in the city of Kobe whose other scores (safety, childcare, quiet) all hold up, we ranked by the density of supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, medical facilities and restaurants within walking distance (OpenStreetMap data). That gate keeps downtown cores from topping the list on facility count alone. The top 20 cluster in Kobe-shi Tarumi-ku (5) and Kobe-shi Higashinada-ku (5).
