Cities similar to Yokohama

Ranked by how close each city sits to Yokohama across ten measured metrics: sex ratio, cost, rent, salary, safety, air, green space, places to eat and universities. Closer is more alike, not better.

Tokyo is the closest match, 11.9 percentile points from Yokohama across 10 shared metrics. The two sit within eight percentile points of each other on clean air, green space and city-centre rent. The band widens slowly from there: the last city listed sits 19.5 away, so these 10 are a cluster rather than a ranking with a clear winner. 2 of the 10 are also in Japan; the other 8 are abroad. Distance says how alike two cities measure, never which one is better to live in: a city can be close to Yokohama because both score badly on the same things.

921 cities ranked by male-to-female ratio, 848 of them measured below national level, 104 country deep-dives.
