Japan Dashboard (Economic, Fiscal, Population and Livelihood Dashboard) and Data Catalog
- Last Updated:
Since 2016, Cabinet Office has been collecting indicators related to the economy, public finance, population, and people's lives in cooperation with relevant ministries and agencies. In order to visualize the various data collected and use them for more detailed analysis and verification, we have been operating the " Economy, Public finance, and People's Life Indicators Visualization Portal Site (Cabinet Office) " where you can download the data.
To further promote data-based policymaking, Cabinet Office and Digital Agency collaborated on the development of the new Japan Dashboard and Data Catalog. Based on requests from users of the visualization portal site, we have established a renewal policy to improve operability and searchability and to accommodate a variety of analysis methods.
* As of July 2025, only 691 prefectural data are handled, but we plan to expand municipal data in the future.

Looking at a single indicator by prefecture
Various statistical indicators for each prefecture are freely switched and visualized with maps and graphs. Differences, characteristics, and trends by region can be grasped with data.
For example, you can freely select the following statistical indicators and compare the numerical values by prefecture.
- Employment situation (employment rate of women, unemployment rate, etc.)
- Medical system (number of beds per population, etc.)
- Status of marriages and births (number of marriages, total fertility rate, etc.)
Look at the relationship between two indicators
It visualizes the correlation between statistical indicators and the location of indicators in each prefecture in an easy-to-understand manner. You can select any two indicators and check the distribution of indicators by prefecture in a scatter chart.
The function that presents highly correlated indicator candidates for a selected indicator makes it easy to search for related indicator pairs and proceed with analysis. Since annual changes can be confirmed by animation, it is possible to understand at a glance how the position of the indicator for each prefecture has changed over time.

Arranging the four indicators
A wide variety of statistical indicators, up to a maximum of four items, can be arranged and visualized in chronological order. By displaying multiple indicators in the field of interest, you can get hints for understanding changes in the numerical values of countries and regions from various perspectives. In addition, multiple regions can be displayed side by side, and through comparisons such as "Tokyo and Osaka Prefecture" and "Specific region and national average", you can intuitively grasp the differences in the indicators by region and the differences in the degree of increase and decrease.
For example, the following indicators can be arranged to grasp the trends of indicators in a specific region from multiple angles.
- Demography
- Public finance
- Social security
- Employment and income
