Rate of homeownership from the House and Land Statistics Survey. The House and Land Statistics Survey is conducted every 5 years and it picks out from the survey area, houses and households living in such houses. According to the statistics, there are 49,600,000 houses of which 30,310,000, that is 61.12%, are owned.

The rate of homeownership is highest in Akita, with 78.39%. Prefectures where there are many agricultural communities Toyama, Fukui, Yamagata and Niigata are ranked high. On the other hand, the lowest ranked is Tokyo with 44.63%. Other urban areas such as Fukuoka, Kanagawa, Osaka and Kyoto are also ranked low. The data shows that the rate of homeownership is high in rural areas and low in urban areas.

Hokkaido and Okinawa slightly stray from this trend. The rate of homeownership is around 50% and is low in both prefectures. There seems to be enough land in both prefectures, so it might be a matter of some difference in lifestyle.

The correlative ranking shows that it is positively correlated with the number of Automobiles Registered and the number of people engaged in agriculture. Here again, it can be seen that the rate of homeownership is high in rural areas.

On the other hand, it should be noted that it is negatively correlated with the rate of people living alone and the rate of nuclear families. This means that in areas where the rate of homeownership is low, the rate of nuclear families as well as the rate of people living alone are high.
