Economic, Financial, Population and Livelihoods (by City) Dashboard and Data Catalog

Since 2016, Cabinet Office has been operating the Economic, Fiscal, and Livelihood Indicators "MIERUKA (Visualization)" Database (Cabinet Office) , which allows users to download various data-related indicators, in order to visualize them and use them for more detailed analysis and verification.

In order to further promote data-based policymaking, Cabinet Office and Digital Agency worked together to develop a new "Dashboard and Data Catalog on Economy, Finance, Population and Livelihood (by Municipality)." In response to requests from users of the "visualization" database, renewal policies were established to improve operability and searchability and to support a variety of analysis methods.

Look at the index data

"Looking at Indicator Data" describes the data type, data recording period, and data source.
First of all, please check if there are indicators that can be used for policy planning and analysis in business.

Map one of the indicators

A variety of indicators can be displayed on the map, and the differences, characteristics, and trends of each municipality can be confirmed in the data.
You can also view the number of indicators and the rate of change across multiple regions (for example, Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture).

Compare one indicator with another

You can compare the figures of the selected municipal indicators with similar and voluntary organizations.

  • Comparison with similar organizations
    • Government-ordinance-designated cities, core cities, and special wards are automatically compared with similar local government classifications.
    • General cities and towns and villages are automatically compared with groups with similar population size, aging rate, and financial capability index.
  • Comparison with voluntary organizations
    • Comparison with an organization category that meets the conditions set by the user for municipality category, population size, aging rate, and financial capability index

*Each indicator (population size, aging rate, financial capability index), which is a condition for similar organizations, is based on the latest data for each indicator.
*The Financial Capability Index is a financial indicator of local governments calculated as the three year average of the value obtained by dividing the "standard amount of financial revenue" of local governments by the "standard amount of financial demand." If the index is 1.00 or higher, it is classified as a "local government that does not receive ordinary local allocation tax (a local government that conducts financial administration without receiving ordinary local allocation tax, which is part of the national local allocation tax, for the purpose of correcting imbalances in revenue sources among local governments)," and if the index is less than 1.00, it is classified as a "local government that provides ordinary local allocation tax."

To examine the relationship between the two indicators

You can select any two indicators and check the distribution and correlation in a scatter diagram.
You can narrow down the municipalities to be displayed in the scatter graph by municipality division, total population, aging rate, etc.

Look at the changes in the four indicators

Various indicators are arranged up to four items and can be viewed in time series.
By viewing two regions side by side, you can see trends and differences between regions.
