Place guide
Miyako Island is treated as one island rather than the full territory of Miyakojima City. This keeps the outline, area and population tied to the same geographic object.
Other islands administered by Miyakojima City are excluded from this place record. A city total would answer an administrative question rather than the size of Miyako Island itself.
The distinction is especially important when comparing Miyako with Penghu County, which intentionally uses an entire archipelago.
Island-wide density is a broad settlement measure. It does not tell where residents, hotels or services cluster on the island.
Use the result for geographic context and local maps for actual routes.
