東京の転入超過、９割減　コロナ影響、２０年度は７５３７人―総務省

　総務省は２７日、３月の住民基本台帳人口移動報告を発表した。東京都への転入者が転出者を２万７８０３人上回り、９カ月ぶりに転入超過となった。ただ、超過数は前年同月の４万１９９人から縮小。２０２０年度全体で見ると、都の転入超過は７５３７人で、１９年度の８万３４５５人から約９割減少した。
　３月は進学や就職に伴う人の移動が最も多い。同月、都へ転入した人は前年同月比５．５％減の９万７３２５人、転出した人は同１０．６％増の６万９５２２人だった。
　２０年度の都からの転出者の行き先は、神奈川県が９万４９７７人と最も多く、埼玉県７万６９４２人、千葉県５万８１５０人などが続いた。
　総務省の担当者は「（新型コロナウイルス流行を背景に）通勤する必要性の低下から、都心から近隣県の郊外への住み替えの動きが起きている可能性も考えられる」と分析する。（2021/04/27-17:05）

Tokyo saw a net population inflow shrink by some 90 pct from the previous year's 83,455 to 7,537 in fiscal 2020, which ended in March, amid the coronavirus pandemic, an internal affairs ministry report showed Tuesday.
   In May 2020, the number of people who moved out of the capital exceeded that of those who came in for the first time since the ministry started the current domestic migration survey also covering foreign nationals in July 2013, in the wake of the government's declaration of the first coronavirus state of emergency in the preceding month.
   Except for June, net population drainage continued through February this year.
   Of people who left Tokyo in fiscal 2020, 94,977 moved to Kanagawa Prefecture, 76,942 to Saitama Prefecture and 58,150 to Chiba Prefecture, according to the report.
   "Many people are believed to have relocated from downtown Tokyo to suburban areas in nearby prefectures because commuting to work became no longer required (amid the pandemic)," a ministry official said.
