An analysis of census data by KYODO published last Sunday shows that between 2020 and 2025 one-quarter of Japan's municipalities experienced population declines exceeding 10%. The number of municipalities with such falls rose to 477 in 2020–25 from 247 in 2015–20. Suzu in Ishikawa prefecture recorded the largest drop, 34%; the city was heavily damaged by a 2024 earthquake. In Iwate and Akita prefectures in northeastern Japan, and in Kochi prefecture in western Japan, more than half of municipalities saw declines of this magnitude.
