Q&A with Kai
Alex, Yuki, and Kai discuss what it's really like to live here.
This article's text predates the October 2026 data and scoring revision and is being rewritten.
Safety

Alex
Toyota is the company town of Toyota Motor. How's safety?

Yuki
What are the specific crime rate figures?
Kai
Toyota's crime rate is 6.26 per 1,000 residents, with a safety score of 43.3. As a core city of about 422,000, its daytime-to-nighttime population ratio exceeds 110%, and this commuter influx influences the crime rate. Residential areas are systematically developed with orderly planning typical of a company town. Mountain areas like Korankei offer tranquil, nature-rich environments.

Cost of Living

Alex
The cost score is 50.0. How are housing costs?

Yuki
Where does it stand within Aichi Prefecture?
Kai
Toyota's average land price is 128,878 yen per square meter, with average rent around 50,254 yen. The cost score of 50.0 reflects a balanced level for a major industrial city. Land prices vary between urban and mountainous areas, but housing remains more affordable than central Nagoya. Retail stores at 5.07 per 1,000 residents include several large commercial facilities.

Convenience

Alex
The convenience score of 42.6 is somewhat low. What's transport like?

Yuki
Is access to Nagoya convenient?
Kai
Toyota's public transit usage rate is 7.3%, with a convenience score of 42.6. The Meitetsu Toyota Line and Aichi Loop Railway connect to Nagoya, but the city's vast area makes private cars the primary transport. The Tokai-Kanjo Expressway interchange offers good road access. With 3.57 restaurants and 5.07 retail stores per 1,000, commercial facilities concentrate around Toyota-shi Station.

Welfare

Alex
The welfare score is 41.1. What's healthcare like?

Yuki
Are medical facilities sufficient for 422,000 people?
Kai
Toyota has 18 hospitals (0.43 per 10,000) and 236 clinics (5.59 per 10,000), with a combined density of 6.01 per 10,000. The welfare score of 41.1 reflects modest per-capita ratios for a large city. There are 103 schools at 0.24 per 1,000 residents. Including corporate medical facilities like Toyota Memorial Hospital, actual healthcare access exceeds what the numbers suggest.

Economy

Alex
The economy score of 53.9 is strong. Is the automotive industry the main driver?

Yuki
What about income levels and population trends?
Kai
Toyota's taxable income per capita is about 3.92 million yen, with an economy score of 53.9. Toyota Motor's headquarters and numerous affiliated companies drive manufacturing output to nationally leading levels. Net migration is -914 (-0.22%), but the 110%+ daytime population ratio shows the city's economic pull on surrounding areas. Pear and peach cultivation also thrive, highlighting industrial diversity.
