According to "Dokai Koshuki, " a compilation of reports which is said to have been written in the Genroku era (1688-1707), jigatachigyo was conducted in only 39 domains out of the 243 domains in those days, and a majority of them were the domains of tozama daimyo (outside daimyo who were not hereditary vassals of the shogun).
元禄期の作とされる『土芥寇讎記』によれば、当時243の藩のうち地方知行が行われていたのは外様大名系の大藩を中心とした39藩に過ぎなかったとされている。
