Most livable neighborhoods in Fukuoka: Top 20

We scored every chōme-level neighborhood in Fukuoka 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 Fukuoka-shi Sawara-ku (5) and Fukuoka-shi Chuo-ku (3).
