Which city do you choose to buy a house in China? I believe many people have asked this question.
In this regard, the answer I gave before is that it is difficult to give a lot of advice in the fastest way. However, judging from the general trend of population mobility, Sichuan, which was not carved up by Chongqing 20 years ago, is the most populous province in China. Ten years later, with people from Sichuan and Hunan going south to Guangdong, the most populous province in China became Henan. Now, with the population of Henan, Anhui and Jiangxi going to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the most populous province in China has become Guangdong. Therefore, the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta are the healthiest areas, and the probability of falling into the pit is the smallest.
So, how to distinguish the cities in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta? In fact, the Pearl River Delta is very easy to distinguish, because the development of the Pearl River Delta is unbalanced and it is a typical pattern of big cities and small counties. In addition to the backward western Guangdong and northern Guangdong, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Zhongshan are all developed cities to choose from.
As for the Yangtze River Delta, due to its relatively balanced development, big cities dominated by Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing and Suzhou are seamlessly connected with medium-sized cities dominated by Wuxi, Changzhou, Wenzhou and Ningbo. How to judge the subsequent housing price trend and the urban economic situation is more complicated.
In this regard, Xing Zi uses Baidu Big Data to describe the distribution characteristics, population mobility and consumption willingness of the township-level population in East China, so as to grasp the fundamentals of urban economy and population.
Historically, although the two provinces have always said that "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are one family", they are actually very different. There has been a debate about "wuyue" since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, in the historical development trend of these two provinces, the characteristics of 14 cities, towns and population distribution in these two provinces also show completely different laws.
First, let's look at the population difference.
Distribution map of township population size in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces 14
From the map, the population of towns and villages in Jiangsu is generally higher than that in Zhejiang, and the distribution is extremely balanced, while the population of towns and villages in Zhejiang is mainly concentrated in single-point cities such as Hangzhou, Ningbo, Jinhua, Wenzhou and Taizhou.
Why is this happening? We know that the population distribution is very dependent on the economy, and different economic models have different population distribution patterns.
The development path of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is not a "path" at all. Jiangsu's development model is more inclined. Under the background of "strong government", the enterprise forms are mainly township collective enterprises, state-owned enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises, so the distribution of enterprises (employment opportunities) in cities and towns is relatively balanced;
Zhejiang and Jiangsu are just the opposite. Zhejiang is a famous private enterprise province in China. Even in Wentaijin area, enterprises are mainly distributed in the town center. So naturally, people tend to be distributed at one point.
As a result, people gather because of job opportunities (enterprises). When enterprises present different distribution characteristics, the distribution characteristics of population are different.
In addition, there are many plains in Jiangsu and many mountains in Zhejiang, which also contributes to a balanced population distribution in Jiangsu and a concentrated distribution in Zhejiang.
