Most convenient neighborhoods in Kansai: Top 20

Among neighborhoods in Kansai (Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, Nara) whose other scores (safety, childcare, quiet) all hold up, we ranked by the density of supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, medical facilities and restaurants within walking distance (OpenStreetMap data). That gate keeps downtown cores from topping the list on facility count alone.
