Tabulation on Internal Migration for Population of the 2020 Population Census of Japan Released
On February 28, 2022, the Tabulation on Internal Migration for Population of the 2020 Population Census of Japan was released.
Based on the results of the complete count of questionnaires, the tabulation includes the status of internal migration for population by sex and age comparing the usual place of residence at the time of the 2015 Population Census (place of usual residence five years ago) with the usual place of residence at the time of the 2020 Population Census.
- Looking at usual residents ("persons usually live", the population based on current address of residence) by the place where they lived five years before, those who lived in a place other than their current address (hereinafter, "migration") numbered 28,672 thousand (22.7%). Thus, 20 percent of usual residents have changed address in the last five years.
- The rate of migration to population by age (in five-year groups) was the highest at 56.6% for those aged 25 to 29, followed by 30 to 34 (53.8%) and 20 to 24 (44.1%).
- With regard to the excess inward migration rate, Tokyo-to had the highest at 4.5%, followed by Chiba-ken (1.7%) and Fukuoka-ken (1.5%).
