Municipalities are required to understand the characteristics of each region when implementing city planning. In this paper, we used the Census data and Housing and Land Survey data to classify municipalities across Japan into six regions based on indicators related to industrial and occupational structures. Then, the characteristics of each region were clarified by checking the average value of the age-related indicators and the annual income-related indicators for each region. In particular, it has been found that in the “gray-collar concentration areas” and “primary industry-centered areas”, aging is progressing, the income level is declining, and welfare-oriented urban planning is required.
