東京都の人口、前年同月下回る　２５年ぶり

　東京都は２５日、２月１日時点の推計人口が前年同月比で６６２人減少し、１３９５万２９１５人になったと発表した。都によると、前年同月の人口を下回るのは１９９６年６月１日時点の推計以来で、約２５年ぶり。新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大が続く中、都からの転出者が転入者を上回る「転出超過」が続いているためとみられる。（2021/02/25-17:18）

Tokyo's estimated population fell by 662 from a year before to 13,952,915 as of Feb. 1, marking its first year-on-year decline in about 25 years, the metropolitan government said Thursday.
   The decrease was apparently because the Japanese capital continued to see a net population outflow in recent months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
   On a month-to-month comparison, Tokyo's estimated population has already been on the decline since peaking at over 14 million as of May 1 last year.
   People who moved out of Tokyo outnumbered those who moved in by 1,490 in January, the seventh consecutive month of net population outflow, the internal affairs ministry said.
   The number of people who moved out of Tokyo rose 5.7 pct to 25,483, while that of those who moved in fell 12.4 pct to 23,993.
