Place counts and walking times come from OpenStreetMap via the yuzu.help interactive map (~80 m/min on foot, within about 20 minutes of the station). Rents are city-level 2026 estimates from the yuzu.help cost model, so two hubs in the same city share a rent tier — Western Tokyo (Tama) hubs sit about 25% below the central wards. The essentials score (0–10) rewards having each of nine daily essentials mapped nearby, with full marks at five minutes or less.
