The National Vacant House Countermeasures Consortium has analyzed trends in vacant house rates across 1,047 municipalities nationwide from 2008 to 2023 and released the "National Vacant House Rate Fluctuation MAP." The analysis revealed that the increase in vacant house rates was modest in the three major metropolitan areas, and in many prefectures, the rate of increase in prefectural capitals was lower than the prefecture as a whole, suggesting a structural acceleration of the vacant house problem due to population concentration.
