5.4 Extraction of areas lacking nursing facilities

Based on the evaluation results of Section 5.1 (the evaluation results for cases with the specialization coefficient), the five areas with the highest evaluation points will be extracted as areas lacking facilities. The five areas outlined in light gray in Figure 7 have a particularly high population of those 75 and over, and it can be said that there is currently a lack of nursing facilities. Additionally, as the population of those aged 65–74 are also high in these areas, further shortages of nursing facilities can be expected.
