Maizuru City, the center of the urban area, has a few educational institutes including high schools, that is only one national high school (Maizuru National College of Technology), two public schools, and one private school, and consequently the daytime population is not necessarily large in statistics.
都市圏の中心となるべき舞鶴市は高等学校等の教育機関が国立1校（舞鶴工業高等専門学校）、公立2校、私立1校と少ないため、統計上、昼間人口の吸収率は必ずしも高くない。
