Most livable neighborhoods in Chiba: Top 20

We scored every chōme-level neighborhood in Chiba Prefecture on four measures: safety (police open data, 2024), everyday convenience, childcare and quiet. The ranking uses their average, so it favours places that hold up across all four rather than peak at one. The top 20 cluster in Kashiwa-shi (6) and Matsudo-shi (6). (updated 2026-08-06)
