Coronavirus infection rate: Number of infected people per million (logarithmic display). For Iwate prefecture, where the number of infected people was 0 (that means logarithmic conversion not possible), we substituted 0 with 1, assuming that there was 1 infected person there.

Population density: Population density per 1 km² of habitable area (logarithmic display). Social capital: A standardized index consisting of “communications and exchanges,” “trust,” “social participation,” “volunteer activity rate,” and “community solicitation amounts per capita.”
