As the division of functions using public transportation networks such as railroads is promoted to form compact and network-type urban structures, the importance of planning wide-area bases is increasing. Furthermore, because the sustainable maintenance of facilities is necessary for core areas that people visit, ascertaining the actual situations of people's movements from a wide-area perspective is necessary for planning. This study specifically examined the movement of people within walking distance of Tokyo metropolitan area railroad stations. Distribution trends in that urban area were identified based on the distance from the center of the city. Results showed the following: 1) The number of clusters with a high car ownership share increases at around 30 km from the city center. and 2) each station walking distance is visited by a group with unbalanced attributes in terms of gender, age, and annual household income.
