Yamagata Prefecture

This listing has a balanced risk picture, with a pre-2000 seismic code era. The detailed hazard panel is where to judge whether those tradeoffs are acceptable for your use case. The score is deliberately mid-range, so local hazard detail should carry more weight than the headline number.

Price is near the area average.

Some amenities are nearby, but a car is still helpful.

The area shows some demographic softness, but not a collapse signal.

Age and condition likely imply heavier renovation work.
