Yuki

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
