Chūō

Chūō is a city in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, written 中央市 and read Chūō-shi in Japanese; the qualifier Yamanashi separates it from other places of the same name. As of 1 October 2020 the city had an estimated population of 30,660 living in 13,954 households, with a population density of about 970 persons per square kilometre. The total area of the city is 31.69 square kilometres, or about 12.24 square miles, so it is a compact municipality with a comparatively high density. This entry rests on the opening section of the English Wikipedia article, which supplies the location, population and area, and it claims nothing beyond that.
